Livid, much like Corissa and J, knows how to pick the exactly right calorically dense, backpacking-in-Maine foods that sedentary slobs absolutely do not need in any capacity, ever. Her New Year's resolution must be to pack on 50 more pounds.

Ok, the bars and patties look like poop. Also, I have tried to accommodate pronouns by accepting "they/them" despite my grammar autism, but gender politics have become so batshit that those who want inclusion have really wrecked it for themselves. They have now made it so confusing and ridiculous that not even potential allies want to try anymore. Because you will always do it wrong! Just like inclusive sizing for fats. Never enough!

I am this close to unironically believing that ugly people should not be allowed to be photographed in any capacity by penalty of law.

Foulness aside, and immaturity of anyone who does this in middle age and thinks they're cool also aside, wtf is the point of posting such a gross thing?

- Look at me, I'm so REAL!
- Fuck your gender standards, wimmins fart too!
- Fuck your bEwTy sTanDerDs I'm unfortunately hairy as well as super fat, see?
- Attention, I need attention. Hate will do if you don't have anything else.
- This is Lipids' attempt at pornifying herself
- Self-hatred
- Attempt to humiliate husband/kids by having wife/mother post this level of gross shit ona public platform
- All the above

Thin FA RD Christy Harrison--the woman who's interviewed and given credence to the likes of Virgie Tovar, Sonalee Rashatwar, and Corissa and J, has a new book coming out called Anti-Diet.

Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the "Food Psych" podcast.

68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it?

The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming.

In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health -- no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.

I find it amusing that these people keep insisting that dieting, which often simply means eating smaller portions/fewer calories for many people, somehow costs all of this money while eating 3000+ calories of fast food and takeout each day does not.

The real danger of leftist SJW "intersectional" communities: Loud fatsos who think their oppreshun is the worst.

Fupa appropriation is truly the nadir of 2019.

Not just fatsos; white, middle-class (and frequently college-educated) fatsos. So while I have no desire to join Anarcha-Feminism, or be a "good ally" to anybody any more, I applaud the mods for kicking Krysta Beam's toxic Superfund site of a self out. Calling somebody "trash" as she did was completely uncalled for, and would be grounds for an instant permaban in most FB communities I've been part of.

That she's as educated as she is, and that was the level she chose to drag the debate down to? Wew, lass. I hope she never lands a tenure-track position, because she's a perfect illustration of how degraded, out of touch, and utterly insane academia has become (but she probably will unless a purge/collapse happens soon, because academia is precisely that degraded, out-of-touch, and utterly insane, and full of vicious, horrid people like her).

Ok, the bars and patties look like poop. Also, I have tried to accommodate pronouns by accepting "they/them" despite my grammar autism, but gender politics have become so batshit that those who want inclusion have really wrecked it for themselves. They have now made it so confusing and ridiculous that not even potential allies want to try anymore. Because you will always do it wrong! Just like inclusive sizing for fats. Never enough!

I've long since quit bothering to accommodate genderspecial/troon pronouns here, and now I won't do it in my offline life, either. Virtually every person I have seen online or encountered IRL who insists upon alternate pronouns is either a Cluster B manipulator or a neurotic, anxious/depressive mess, and I am not complying with the reality-bending demands of crazy people. Nor am I playing Narcissists' abusive games any more, because there is no possible good outcome in that.

I feel for Cass, she had talent and tried hard to control whatever was going on with her weight. These fatties can only envy her while they dismiss her as a 'smallfat with privilege'
[...]

I feel for Cass, too. She hated being fat and fought it as hard as she could.

It's extraordinary how she and other fatties were treated in media in the Seventies. See, for example, her guest appearance on Scooby Doo -- absolutely every interaction with her is about how fat she is (you can see a snippet here and probably find the whole episode if you dig).

Or Shelley Winters' character in the Seventies disaster move Poseidon Adventure. She's a fatty who saves another character but has a fatal heart attack doing it and the other characters stand around remembering her like "sure, she was hideous, but it's almost like she had a soul."

Or the detective series Cannon. Lead actor William Conrad was fat, and they somehow worked eating into every episode.

It's all so cringe looking back. All of them smallfats, and yet they were seen as so extraordinary at the time that their fatness was all anyone talked about. Because America didn't get really fat until the Eighties. I don't have a pet theory why that is, but it's true.

There is evidence that the obesity epidemic can be linked to the Nixon Administration, specifically a man named Earl Butz who was the Agricultural Secretary. Nixon subsidized farmers to produce corn in the early 70s. By the mid 70s there was a surplus. Butz was tasked with dealing with that surplus. He went to Japan where a new process was invented to produce HFC in mass quantities. Butz then amped up high fructose corn syrup production in the US and touted it to food companies as a way for them to increase profits. The low fat craze was trending towards the late 70s and companies started to add more and more HFC to compensate for the lack of fats. HFC was cheaper than sugar and started to replace sugar across the board, and, as an added bonus, it increases the shelf life of products sometimes by years (Twinkies, anyone?).Being that it is an ultra processed carb, human bodies do not respond to it well and especially not when it is added to everything from bread to lunch meat. It gets turned directly to fat. It's why everyone, most importantly fatties, need to lay off of processed, boxed, commercially prepared convenience foods. Clean eating isn't an urban legend. .....Jen, we are looking at you.

That's one theory (and it fits the timeline well). There are others. The screwed up food pyramid that implied you could eat as many carbs as you wanted. Trans fats. A switch from animal- to vegetable-based oils. Various food additives. Everybody quitting smoking. Even a virus has been proposed.

As I said, I don't have a pet theory. Though, empirically, wherever American products go people start to get fat which does suggest something in processed food. We eat accordingly.

I can tell you it's not that people exercised more back in the day. My mother would get in the car to go from one end of the mall to the other.

Taking this a bit further: IIRC obesity rates started climbing around the same time the "low fat" craze kicked in -- precisely because to make those low-fat foods taste good required lots and lots of sugar (white or corn sugar; doesn't matter which). Long story short, "fat" has been a significant part of the human diet since before our ancestors evolved into modern humans (anthropologists believe a high-fat diet is also what fueled the evolution of our brains and advanced intellects), but "white sugar" as we know it has only been around for ~300 years or so (in evolutionary terms, we just started eating it a couple minutes ago). And -- long story short -- your liver processes excessive sugar into fat, while that excess sugar also makes your insulin levels get wonky (even for healthy non-diabetic people).

I can give you another reason - processed foods full of sugar and with zero fibre etc are way too easy to bolt down in far too large quantities because they require little chewing and simply do not satiate. They spike blood sugar and then leave you wanting more later. They don't feed the good bacteria in your gut either. Any food that is calorifically dense and doesn't fill you up is a disaster if it forms the basis or even a significant proportion of what you eat.

Also portion sizes have gone and continue to go up with the increasing cheapness of food. Plates sizes keep increasing, compare dinner sets from the 50s, 70s, 90s, 00s and so on. People have zero idea how much they really eat in general. When you see menus that have calorie counts like say Wetherspoons (cheap pub/food place here) has you instantly understand how easy it is to get fat if you eat out, or emulate the types of food and portions at home. Barely a single meal under 1000 calories when sides are included. Oh and coming from the UK, even 20 years ago I was so surprised at the huge sizes of portions in the USA compared to here. Every meal was too big for me then, I imagine things are even worse now in that regard. But I've seen the UK catch up in serving sizes and gosh, as a nation we're getting fatter and fatter. Not a coincidence.

People are definitely more sedentary as a population too. Gyms never used to be a thing apart for pro-athletes and freaks like bodybuilders 30-50 years ago but people had a lot more active jobs, they walked a lot more, even if just to a bus stop and back every day. Kids played outside a lot, and played active games in the playground. They were't hunched over computers and phones all day. It make a huge difference.

Spoiler

A 50 year-old relative of mine who has struggled with his weight for years has just shed nearly 30lb in three months since starting a new job, btw. He's on his feet all day, wheeling trolleys around, walking constantly. The weight has just quietly slid off him because he walks an extra ten or so miles a day five days a week, which is a fuckload of calories burned without even trying. Before that he was on his feet, but basically standing still for most of it. He always went to the gym and lifted weights, but found it really hard to shed fat. Now it's coming off without trying because his daily calorie burn is so much higher from being properly active for the bulk of his working day. And his longstanding back pain has cleared up since losing it.

Not at all. I used to stop in this one pub after work regularly for a few years. They had semi OK food, but typical high calorie stuff in monster portions. There were people who I saw eating meals there on the daily. Over the course of a couple of years they all gained weight, some (especially the women) astronomically so going from thin/average to obese and growing in two year's time. Maybe there was something else going on, and they all piled on weight at once, but I'm sure 2000 calorie meals plus beer was a helluva common denominator.

For sure. Basically if you eat any other meals that day, you are almost certainly going to be in a calorie excess for the day, unless you are doing the equivalent of running marathons.

No surprise the women especially put on weight faster - lower muscle mass means a lower BMR even if we're the same height/weight as a dude. My first roomate in college, a shortish and then normal weight girl, went out drinking almost every night, more or less, during the first three months. By the end of those first three months, she was 2 stone+ (28lbs+) heavier and looked 6 months pregnant (she wasn't, she was just bloated to fuck). Not a shock, given she would often drink 5 pints a night (1000 calories) on top of eating three normal meals a day. Thankfully she came to her senses, realised the issue and stopped pretending she could drink like a squaddie and saved her wasitline and her liver.

Is that her real family or just the Tik Tok Kids she hangs around with? And I don't know if I would be flattered, if my personality turns out to be this obnoxious, loudmouthed alcoholic, who seems to be in the process of eating everyone else in the photo. Including the dogs and pajamas.
