Fat ppl should be able to post a selfie without having to hear comments about their weight.

Being obese (bad diets or just too much calories) and not being active enough are one of the leading reasons for premature deaths but bullying a person on insta doesn't help at all. 

Regulating the food industry better would help, free meals at schools would help, sugar tax and coupons for healthy food would help, telling Betty on Facebook she's unhealthy does not. 

I have a lot of opinions about the body positivity movement that are a bit related to that but I'm not sure I should elaborate.

omg every time someone speaks abt fatphobia someone always says 'we shouldn't normalize obesity' like 1. i didn't make that point, 2. why associate fatness w obesity???? like don't u see that's exactly the problem. 

being fat is not inherently unhealthy!!!
I don't know, I guess we have different definitions of fat, since fat isn't a medical term. I don't think it should be used in conversations like this, now that I think about it, but yeh.
True lol I see fat as being obese, if ur just overweight its more like,, chubby, depending on how much muscle u have

yeah, everyone does something that is unhealthy - but skinny ppl who do unhealthy shit at meet far less hassle for doing unhealthy shit. the fact that people think that commenting on other peoples health habits is ok, is entitled and rude as fuck. nonetheless, a skinny person posting themselves eating food will not be harassed about it - a fat person will. see, lizzo eating a burrito discourse.

How is that weird, I don't see ppl in the overweight category as fat, just when its obesity+
not weird to have a diff opinion abt the meaning of a word that has diff meaning to everyone

Too tired to write a long explanation but basically people just went from 'some people are ugly and deserve to be treated badly because of it' to 'every body type and combination of features is beautiful so we shouldn't treat anyone badly because of it' skipping the 'some body shapes and features are more attractive to most humans than others due to an old, complex biological process that kicks in to produce healthy offsprings. Since the days of mass media we emphasized that part and groom younger generations to treat their looks like it is their whole identity. This led to bad treatment of people who don't conform to beauty ideals. To solve this, we should do everything in our power to teach the next generation to put more emphasis on a good character, education, developing useful skills. Looks should have no relevance in most settings. Some people are ugly and that's perfectly fine because if looks aren't that big a part of one's identity their self worth isn't going to be defined by it. '

I'm in favor of the term body neutrality. Not every thing about our bodies needs to be healthy or pretty, we don't have to be positive about every part of our body. We don't need to celebrate those parts we need to stop obsessing over them and how others might see us.

suffer from fat phobia to a certain extent

otherwise, we wouldn’t ask in dressing rooms
