This thread seems incredibly insensitive.
I feel certain that most of those "fat" kids are just identifying as "perfect, I was born that way." That's what mommy and daddy say.


All joking aside, our nation is in the middle of a health crisis. Healthcare delivery, mental health normalizing, ignorance based dietary concerns and medical fascism.
At some point "fat shaming" needs a resurgence.

But hey, no worries, we're all in on restricting home appliances.
