Fatties

I am loathe to enter in a discussion on American Idol, but this issue makes it worthwhile.
Is this girl...obese?
Feministe:
Meme Roth - National Action Against Obesity

She believes this young lady is obese and an bad example that will lead girls everywhere to eat them selves into diabetes and early deaths.

This girl? Really! The girl?

Apparently since the country is so overweight on average, we can't see the real problem here. Girls as morbid as this. This!

Curves are bad. Not showing ribs is bad. Being healthy is...

Talk about a misuse of BMI. Talk about an extreme approach to healthier living. Watch the video, Roth lives in a sick world.

If that isn't enough, the lady apparently should not be given any laurels or glory, as long as her weight is not to NAAO's standards. They need to learn the difference between larger people who are healthy and those that aren't.

Here is some of the organizations work at spreading shame and self-loathing, to end fat.

Second Annual Wedding Gown Challenge: "Women Should Fit Into Their Wedding Gowns Year After Year," Says MeMe Roth

Lies Women Tell About Their Weight--Anti-Obesity Advocate MeMe Roth Lists Top 3

You should stay at your wedding day weight all your days, or your a failure. You should not gain any permanent weight from pregnancy. and if in your life you ain't as thin as me, you are living a lie.

Just plain ignorant.

There is a weight problem. The number of people that are larger and less healthy is growing. We all overindulge, I sure as hell do. We need to better educate ourselves, and teach our kids better.

Shame, ridicule, and derision are not an answer.

That is the Dr. Phil thing to do.
