Living ~400lbr


Welcome to my tumblr!

I also blog about life & fat acceptance at Living ~400lbs.

I tweet too.

I will likely post fewer fat acceptance items here and more general repost items.

Ask me anything

17th February 2012

Consider a list of traits associated with fatness – lazy, stupid, undisciplined, unattractive, unsuccessful – against a list of traits associated with thinness – active, smart, disciplined, attractive, successful.

Now replace the words fat and thin with poor and rich – or with black and white.

People of all body sizes laugh at fatness, including fat people because many believe their fatness to be a temporary state due to a lack of such variables as time, energy, willpower, or even illness. In fact, fat people are just as likely to hold anti-fat attitudes as slim people because they internalise the attitude they’re surrounded with their entire lives.

— Big Belly Laughs - “Why is it okay to laugh at fat people?” (via redefiningbodyimage)

Worth thinking about.
