METRO NYC holds ‘Fat Beach Day’ to create accepting environment for plus-size community: ‘A space for people to be themselves’

“Fat Beach Day” events are appearing across the United States, aiming to create spaces for the plus-size community to gather — including one Saturday in Far Rockaway.

“We’re going through something culturally that is impacting us every day on an individual level and a systemic level,” Jordan Underwood, the event organizer told the Guardian. “We’re really trying to open up a space for people to be themselves.”

“I’m so self-conscious at the beach, and I’m never around people that look like me,” Emma Zack, who started Berriez in 2018, told the outlet. “I’m excited we’ve created this space for folks with bigger bodies to have a good time.”

“It’s a really sh–ty time, not just on the internet but in society, to be fat, and it feels really violent in a lot of ways,” Zack said. “You’d think it wouldn’t be such a thing because New York is so open, and you dress however you want. I always say I never realized how much people hate fat people until I got TikTok.”

Sad part is that the “heavy weight is positive” crowd keeps on their ways they face a sicker future and early death. Very few morbidly obese folks hanging around for long. No shame...but lose the disease assisting fat, find ways to get rid of it,. don’t celebrate it.

Fat ass people are responsible for the disappearance of all you can eat buffets which used to be quite common but now are rare and high priced. I saw a tour bus full of fat people descend on a Ryans resturant buffet once and it reminded me of the African films of jackels, hyenas and vultures on a carcass. In addition to that, they take all the battery powered disability shopping carts and screw over the truly disabled or elderly infirm people. Fat women have ruined the Sports Illustrated calendar and are in the process of ruining “beauty”pagents A lot of them smell bad and a good portion of fat women dress seemingly to display their disgusting rolls and flaps. When shopping they are always in your way. I have no love for fat people for all those reasons. I know it’s not nice but at least I admit it.

I’m guessing this could be the reason for the supposed rising sea levels.

I’ve seen estimates that morbid obesity, now called Class III by Big Med, can take from 14 to 20 years off average life expectancy.

that sounds like a horrible beachday, but at least they warn normal people not to go that day.
I’ve seen some thing at OBX that gave me nightmares.

They used to know how to deal with beached whales in Oregon.

I wish they’d buy clothes that fit! We have a couple of fat folk in our neck of the woods that are always out and about in what would be “belly” shirts on normal folks.
No one wants to see that when we are in a restaurant, or anywhere.

Wouldn’t ‘Fat Beach Day’ cause the sea levels to rise?

Folks can eat whatever
Just don’t overeat

Anything 2500 calories or less a day for most folks you’ll maintain or lose weight
