Why It’s Okay To Be Fat: Golda Poretsky at TEDxMillRiver
Watch this. Up-vote it on Youtube. Share it. <3
This video has just been bombarded in the comments by a gaggle of anti-fat, healthist fuckers. Golda presents so much important info in this talk that is being overshadowed by hate and ignorance and its such a goddamn shame. If you have a moment, and the energy, to deal with combating these trolls…please consider helping out down-voting derogatory comments, up-voting constructive ones, and adding your own love to the mix.
People think: If fat people need to be cured, there must be something wrong with them. Cures should work; if they do not, it is the fat person’s fault and a license not to employ, date, educate, rent to, sell clothes to, give a medical exam to, see on television, respect, or welcome such fat people in society.
Such hateful attitudes are acceptable because no one really believes that being fat is any kind of disease. If fat people suffered from a real illness, our detractors’ attitudes would be unacceptably cruel. The pretense of concern for fat people’s health wards anti-fat attitudes against exposure as simple hatred. Belief in a “cure” also masks that hatred. It is not possible to hate a group of people for our own good.
