I got shitlorded on an American Airlines flight about 70 pounds ago, which finally prompted me to take action.

Because I'm sure everybody wants to pay twice the current ticket prices to accommodate the asses of doublewide women.

I have seen HAES blogs where they complain that they can't cut calories because they will starve and it's like telling their bodies that they don't need food. Nobody is going to starve if they don't eat that 8th piece of cheesecake. If they are so into nourishment they'd actually eat healthy and balanced diets.
It's gross to think about, but when you eat that much it must be hard to use the bathroom with any sense of comfort.

This one is especially funny to me because the seamstress is "ruining" the exact sort of plus-size clothes they'd otherwise be complaining about and rejecting - shapeless, frumpy, untailored, etc. You can't win with these whiners.

It's also only one person buying an extremely non-significant amount of garments. Even fat people don't claim there are limited amounts of cheap plus size clothing (ever been to a Walmart?), but just limited "cute" options. But any chance to bitch about anything and make it about you I guess.

I can't stand these fuckwits that baw on and on about 'thin privilege' . It's a privilege to be a fat FUCK, because that means you have access to food and resources millions and millions of people don't have.
Keep bawing, fatties. The only privileged people here are yourselves.

This woman - who literally wrote the textbook on modern clothes manufacturing, AND is a former fatty - wrote two amazing articles on why clothing lines don't just add plus sizes to their current line, or produce an additional plus line.
Why manufacturers don't add plus sizes.
What is a size break
She's take so much shit for writing cogently and accurately as to why it's not practical or profitable to add plus sizes or a plus line, no matter how many fats there are.

Technically, with the advent of super fatty and suggary low cost fast food (not KFC, but I mean things like Twinkies). Its cheaper and easier to get fat.
In some places the fruit and veggies have stupidly high prices.
Who the hell would buy an avocado for 6 USD when the production and distribution is like 1 USD?

Dude, no. A bunch of bananas only cost a few cents and a bag of beans about the same. Yeah, hipster produce like avacados are expensive but a box of twinkies costs more then a large bag of carrots.
That "Fast food is way cheaper then normal healthy options" shit is garbage, mate.

JC Penney gave the Militant Baker some sort of promotional video thing.

I wouldn't say it's cheaper or easier. I mean, food deserts are a thing, but they're not the reason for suburban obesity, which FA cows seem to fall into mostly.
It isn't really cheaper, the price is on par, even lower in a lot of cases. There is a minor time factor, but it's more just a laziness factor, because they probably don't live a life where they're so pressed for every minute that they need to eat out of a window instead of actually buying and preparing meals.
At the end of the day, it's more complacency and laziness for the people who are die-hard fat acceptance. I know anecdotal evidence is pretty much useless, but from what I've experienced, the people who sperg and ree online about how they should accept their fat are more than capable of living a non-obese lifestyle. Your average obese person either doesn't know obesity is an issue, or they feel powerless about it and just ignore it.

Cents? You're kidding right?
Last time I went to visit Houston, TX.. The damn Bananas were almost 6 USD for a small pack (around 5 bananas).

Bananas are 60 cents a pound where I live. Where the hell do you shop, Whole Foods? What place sells bananas by pack?

99 cent a pound where I am at. Still puts a single banana well under a buck. I have never, ever seen a 6 dollar avocado. Ever.

And even IF there was a place where an avocado was $6, there are expensive foods and cheap foods, you have to look around for a couple minutes to find the cheap ones. Buy pasta noodles from the Mexican section, they're ~35 cents a bag, as opposed to the $4-7 boxes in the Italian section. You can buy literal pounds of rice really cheaply and there's tons of shit you can do with it. Eggs are cheap. There's plenty of things to do. But whenever people start the "healthy" talk, suddenly everyone wants pineapples and shit.
Eating seasonally also helps keep the price down, but I get that not everybody knows to do that. People can learn, though.

Where I live now fruit is super over priced.
However I agree, you need to buy what you can afford. If you want a banana but can't afford it that is tough shit. Here a pack of mushrooms and bean sprouts costs about two dollars after tax. Add some meat and rice, get sauces, salt and pepper, etc. For about 30 bucks you have a meal for two for potentially four days and the rice and sauce will extend to future meals.
I do think there is a lot of laziness involved but I also think a lot of fat people don't know how cooking actually works. They see a bag of rice for 20 bucks or a sauce for 7 and decide that McDonalds is cheaper without understanding how you can use ingredients.
HAS people though seem to just want to excuse them being fat.they want to eat a pound cheese everyday and say it isn't their fault they are so fat.

I have been poor enough for this to be an issue.
The issue was not that fruits and vegetables or rice and beans were "too expensive." It's that I was missing things like pots and pans, spatulas... kitchen stuff. At one point, I was taking plastic utensils from fast food places, because I didn't have any silverware. I didn't have a car, and dragging loads of groceries back to your house on foot/on the bus really sucks. Etc. In that position, you are going to want rice and beans, over fruit and veggies, because they are waaaaay more satiating. Vegetables start to sound like a waste of resources--not enough caloric bang for buck. There's also the fact that you don't have enough money at one time to do a real grocery run. It's reeeeeeeally hard to build up your spice rack, basically.
You have to be really fucking poor for this to be a real problem, though. And I was not fat. Too much walking around town on foot.

Walmart? and when I say "in pack". I do not mean a box. I mean a bag with 6-7 individual bananas (aka a cluster or a bunch).
Why everyone is talking about individual products?
Do you really go to an store and buy 1 single avocado or 1 single banana per trip?
When I say 4 USD, I mean the whole Kilo. (4.4 lbs according to google)
As for prices I agree, but the Mexican pasta as way less flavour. I know because they are produced in this state I am. (most pasta is made by LA MODERNA )
On this I agree with you 100%.
I still remember seeing those scary pictures of these ultra fat women and men eating a giant cheese block. Or chunking a restaurant sized Mayo bottle with a restaurant soup spoon.
Story time!
I was visiting one aunt who lives in Texas, We went to eat to Olive Garden which was in the way from the airport.
There was a pair of ultra obese persons next to us.. (they both had scooters).
They ATE 6 servings, including 2 family platters. then each one ate a whole chocolate cake, it was insane!!!!
They were literally LIVING TO EAT.
