It’s a Thinspiracy!

I love words that are a creation of other words.

Thinspiracy is my new favorite word, I have to say.

No reason, I don’t think it’s a conspiracy or anything…I just think that fat people are discriminated against at worst, and at the very least, people think we eat fried food and bon bons all day.

Ultimately it shouldn’t matter if I did eat fried food all day, it’s the assumptions that are the problem.

We are seen as unhealthy even if we are not. If a fat person is unhealthy, it is blamed immediately on weight.

Like thin people don’t get sick or ill or die of cancer.

It’s all so bunk.

I think the starvation diets that everyone is on (1200 calories is a joke,  when a group of men at 1600 calories a day were part of a starvation study) are the cause for the mass hysteria. People aren’t eating enough, as such, they have distorted moods and feelings. These translate to feelings of hatred and fear of fat people.

Did I mention this is bunk? LOL
