The following post on this horrible fat-hating campaign in Georgia originated on Fierce, Freethinking Fatties. Please help us put some pressure on the hospital that is funding this effort. Contact information is at the end of the article. Please, please, please reblog and share with everyone you know. Every voice makes us louder.fuck this shit.
Look, you can agree or disagree with whether childhood obesity is a social ill that we need to confront or whether people of all sizes can lead healthy and happy lives — but you can’t seriously argue that the reason that there is childhood obesity in this country is because we haven’t stigmatized fat people enough. Nobody anywhere in America thinks that. (I did a poll: 100% of Americans stated that they were familiar with the concept that if they get too fat, they will die alone and unloved.)
So whatever your opinion on whether obesity is a thing that we need to fight, you should be able to recognize that making being fat a major stigma is not something that you need a $50 million ad campaign about. You could buy a shitload of basketballs, or laser tag parks, or healthy and nutritious school lunches with that money, and it wouldn’t just explicitly tell fat kids that they’re pathetic losers over and over, which they already know because everyone has already made them feel that way forever.
