The University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health was a lot less healthy this week.

They’re always inventing new grievance groups. Unbelievable.

It's not a new group. Activists have been telling women that it's okay to be fat for decades and urging them to embrace it. It used to be that women ignored it and went for the salad. It seems that in more recent years the activists have won. Now they are going to work on forcing the rest of society to accept it as a virtue.

That makes sense since she’s triggered.

Hopefully this toad starts getting pig stickers on everything she owns and old cans of lard in her locker.

What about a grievance group for people that DON’T eat all the triple decker cheeseburgers and cheesecake they want so they don’t get fat and unhealthy?

Every day in America now it’s Divide and Conquer. Stupid people such as liberals notice nothing wrong.

I think this one was a dupe. It all started very innocently.
