Empower the large number of people regarded by the medical profession as "obese" to accept themselves, to live more fulfilling lives, and to promote acceptance of fat people within society.
Serve as a forum where issues affecting fat people can be discussed in an unbiased setting.
honestly do we need an orginazation for this. Helping fat people deal with losing wait sure iam all for that but antidiscrimination? |
That's ridiculous. Accept themselves and be accepted by society? Being fat isn't like being retarded or black. In most cases it's something you CHOOSE to be. In the modern era of healthy foods, free weight loss clinics, gyms... what possible excuse can someone have for being unhealthily overweight? It's not that I hate fat people or think they should die; it's just that it's not good for you.
It's like that girl that posted the "Big, Bold, and Beautiful" thread. When you are obese to the point where it affects your health, you don't have jack shit to be proud of.
YAY. I'VE GOT FLESH EATING BACTERIA AND I'M PROUD!
