San Francisco hired a Fat Positivity expert. Of course, it’s San Francisco. Virgie Tovar, the author of ‘You Have the Right to Remain Fat” and other published works on “fat positivity and body acceptance,” has been hired to help the city combat “anti-weight based discrimination.”

Ms. Tovar will consult on “anti-weight-based discrimination” and “weight stigma and weight neutrality.”

She will work with the Department of Health to combat the “weight stigma.”

So, what, now we’re promoting obesity, which is clearly bad for one’s health? It’s also one of the seven deadly sins if you’re religious.

End all entitlement money to all working age people and watch the fat lazy entitlement slobs just up and DIE. Feeding them, giving them a free ride, free rent, free meds, trips to the shrinks, and sex changes, is costing the working taxpayers hundreds of billions each year.

Feel bad for overweight people. That’s why we say; Never make fun of a fat person on a bicycle. They are exactly where they need to be. I’ve been letting myself go lately and really do need to get on a better diet and work out more.

There is no need to end the stigma with fat shaming. We’re ashamed enough of ourselves when we cross that line.

Do you want another? I can do this all day long.

This slob should worry less about how large her cake slices are and more about exercise and becoming healthy. What a dope!!!

There are rules to being big and maintaining that weight. You have to eat the cake. I mean, not just a bite, you have to honestly love to eat cake and pie and fit that into your dietary routine all the time, every single day.

That’s why I never put on as much weight as I dreamed I could have, because I don’t like cake, confections, or too many sugary items. Reach for the steak and whiskey instead. Beer sort of works but simply does not deliver the girth and swaddle that a good old fashioned emotional cake eating binge will bestow.

Wish I could balloon up like some of these people. I’d be large and in charge all the time, like breaking furniture, tip the car sideways whenever I get in and out, and nobody would ever cut in front of me in line ever again, there would be no room for them to do so. You can get a lot of respect when you’re large enough to cause serious bodily injury in an accidental manner. Keeps people paying better attention when you’re around.

I’ve got more. Would you like more?

Maybe if health insurance was more expensive for obese slobs like her, she wouldn’t have enough money for her 6000 calorie/day diet. I can’t imagine her weekly food bill.

See, this is why these stories make me sad. I’ve done 6k calories a day. I’ll do 10k a day and still not put that weight on. What are these peoples secret? Inquiring minds want to know. I’m pounding a twelve pack a day heavy weight beer, bacon and breakfast muffins, add the extra cheese with the eggs, chips and steak and eat whenever I’m hungry. Where is my extra body weight!?!? See, I’m the real victim here, it’s sort of unfair because I’m not getting equivalent representation on this matter at the official government and political level. Even the nurses whom check me in at the hospital get upset when I proclaim; I’ve lost the weight again, what am I doing wrong? It’s a lonely life when nobody can relate to your personal health conditions.

The hits keep on coming.

People like this should pay 100% of their health insurance. Why should taxpayers have to pay for this government walking heart attack.

Well….. Be careful what you wish for. I’m getting taxed to death on cigarettes like over $11 a single pack in Colorado. That’s not fair when all these people whom don’t smoke are walking health time bombs because they don’t read labels and reach for the ‘contains a genetically modified ingredient’ food stuff, while we’re stuck paying twice the price to avoid the health destroying chemicals, pesticides, and dangerous food stuffs. The truth is you’d all be better off drinking and smoking than ignoring GM food labeling and pretending glyphosate is not present in the majority of your food supply.

Under this idea of; People like this should pay 100%, well, there is always something we can point out for anyone. That’s called a sin tax and I do believe, you just sinned in your mind right now and subsequently owe the government some money asap. In fact to prove you’re not a sinner, we’ll need to check your cabinets and monitor your spending in order to protect you from yourself. Still a believer?

And who gets to make this god like decision? You? Me? The idea is not workable but you bring up an important topic; Health care is too expensive and so is the insurance. The administrative bloat is undeniable, we do not have a health care system in the US, we have a profit from your continued illness system. That’s why in states where regulatory capture has long since occurred, and the bureaucrats answer to the corporations in a form of government private corporate fascist partnerships, they proudly showcase people like your new obesely overweight health advisor and gender confused persons. Because to those profiteering from illness, every single person whom buys into this idea becomes a dollar sign on their industrial health model conveyor belt. What those people are doing is not science. They are not experts.

Pass me the nachos. All this talk of over eating is making me hungry.
