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… Read more »

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,… Read 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… Read more »

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… Read more »

I get it, losing weight can be difficult, but this, this is just “I’m too lazy to make any changes and actually attempt a healthy lifestyle and then whine about health insurance rates going up, make someone else pay for it and then yammer on that you have to accept my lazy lifestyle or you’re a bigot”…….or something. And I’m… Read more »

Nope. It’s the weight. It’s definitely the weight. I can say absolutely positively, the weight is the primary reason that most people find themselves experiencing a negative attraction sort of scenario to obesity. Don’t stand too close, a centrifical gravity field might form and you could shoot straight out the window if you’re not properly anchored or strapped in. Someone… Read more »
