The University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health was a lot less healthy this week.
In celebration of “International No Diet Day,” the school of public health, together with the University of Minnesota’s School of Social Work and its College of Food and Agriculture, invited Virgie Tovar, a self-proclaimed “fat activist,” to instruct America’s future nutritionists, dietitians and social workers on the finer points of “fat oppression.”

Lol.
Your not alone, same here. I need to lose it for getting my health better and to look presentable, especially when your job searching. I agree, I do not accept that this should be the normal, but it doesn’t give other people the right to be rude, and believe me I had my share.
I simply don’t understand how many who are overweight can say “accept it” just like these Fativist.
Thin privilege. Being able to walk through a door way with out having to wedge themselves sideways.
Thin privilege: having both hands in the same time zone or ZIP code.
Not having to carry euros in one pocket and pesos in the other.
Are people to be allowed their own values anymore or will the state mandate them?
Hey! Hey! Hey!....it’s FAAAAAAAAAAT Activist!
White, male, Christian but finally I’m a victim!!!
I can get behind this one.
Sugar is a killer for me. I have to severely limited it or I will be like Godzilla on a feeding frenzy.
It’s strange how something like sugar can trigger an avalanche of cravings. And the more I gave into the cravings, the more hungry I get, even though I may be full. It reminds me a bit of a drug addiction.
Once I got off sugar, I could eat in moderation, feel full and not crave food all the time. It was liberating.
Thin privilege... Obama is keeping the fatties down!!!!! He's a Fattist!
Yet another reason not to recognize the University of Minnestoopid.
Next up, Stinky activists denouncing “clean privilege.”
Sugar does that to me, sometimes, as well.
For those who are not familiar with the numbers, I think this is (was) correct:
18.5 to 25 - Healthy Weight
25+ to 30 - Overweight
30+ - Obese
A study from the 1970’s found that people with a 23.5 BMI had the lowest mortality rate.
The new study finds that people with a 27 BMI have the lowest mortality rate.
What!
As a lifelong distance runner and certified skinny old man, I want my privilege back!
I tried to find the original link to this study, but can't.
Now, it's on every diet website in the world, so you will have to claw through a barrage of banner and video ads to read the details.
Thin privilege: when you lie around the house, you’re actually INSIDE the house!
Hippies.
It isn’t phobia, but reality. The kid who pointed out the Emperor had no clothes on was not nude-phobic, just realistic. And someone with a penis is not a woman unless one totally ignores reality.
There are those of us with honest metabolic issues, who eat little enough that most people would starve to death, and still can’t lose weight.
And then, there’s people like this . . .
I’m thin..so I guess I’m doomed
