It's really one of the saddest truths about living in the US. It's now a rare thing to be skinny in public in some states.

so your okay with half the country being obese?

or even 60 or 70%?

There's a few weirdos like that

Yeah the unhealthiest of the bunch are stigmatized

It’s a health issue we should talk about but I don’t support discriminating against that

If it's not objectively stigmatized in America this thread wouldn't exist

fr ppl who think shame is the way forward are the ones who fly off the handle when i shame them for gleefully supporting animal cruelty

Nah I'm saying that it's weird that the focus falls specifically on such a minor issue when in reality its derivative of a much bigger problem which requires attention given the unfairness of the american economy.
Like I don't doubt there's discrimination here, but i highly doubt that this is comparable to discrimination in cases of Race/Gender/Sexuality, which was the purpose of the law this isbeing appended to. What is comparable more than likely though is the issue that this is derivative of, but people don't want to address since it would require self-reflective tabboos. However, imo, because of that the mismatched focus makes it less likely the core of the issue will be addressed, especially since this itself seems likemore of a joke to most people - it's kind of tainted the pool of what should be a more valid inquiry

How exactly do they want to implement this. It isn’t like recruiters are currently saying, you’re not getting the job cus you look like a lazy whale

What the f*** kind of post is this? Man niggas really be wilding when it comes to certain topics in L&A

I was just arguing that it does have an aggregate effect on society if a lot of people are obese

yea but shaming or discrimination isnt not a solution

All it means is that if they do say that or otherwise can be proven to have discriminated they can face legal action. In at will employment states you gotta be a true dumbass company to let yourself be in that position tho

ya but a lot of people act like it isn't a issue or its inappropriate to even mention it

most discrimination laws exist more as safeguards than direct practice unfortunately. like it'd still be legal under this law to say "we aren't hiring you because you look lazy/underqualified" and as long as there's no proof of that correlation to "fat" the employer would be fine. there's no law requiring rejection notices though, so like, this doesn't solve anything anyway even if it had a valid point in a vacuum. hiring is still considered subjective so telling someone they "don't fit into company culture" is a valid excuse which can be used to override even most civil rights act hiring discrimination cases

Can agree with this. Within the realms of 'mental health acceptance' that biggest gripe personally is this obsession with these labels. Not sure if you're around the same age as me, but growing up being bound by a 'label' was seen as the worst thing ever. Boxing people in, was considered a messed up thing, and 'just being yourself' as an identity was 'in'. However in recent years socially it's become more and more acceptable to apply all these labels and groupings, just simply nonsense. No human is the same. Seriously, and it kills an actual identity.

Minus the sauce at the bottom, I’d eat that

It's all salt, you'd need to work-out for a good three hours after consooming it.

Ok???

I got a legit question. Is eating a thick ass T-Bone steak cooked medium rare healthy or unhealthy? Cause I just did that and I wanna know…

I feel for bigger people, I eat like s*** most of my life and I'm still barely 150

red meat is unhealthy
