There was a skinny girl in high school who ate nothing but pizza, cheeseburgers, soda, candies, chocolate bars, and cheetos. I never saw her drink water or touch a vegetable or piece of fruit. Funny how NO ONE EVER SAID A WORD about being concerned for her health. As for me, I ate healthy like had veggies and fruit with lunch and drank water and unsweetened fucking soymilk, but was fat so people had Judgey Looks and comments. It was infuriating. The food we eat has no morality yet the sense of entitlement people have over fat bodies is so loud. They’ll NEVER approve of our choices no matter what we do so I chose to eat what I want.
what you said is nothing but the stone cold truth, nothing else to add. healthy fat people will still be victims of fatphobia because society´s true concern is not truly their "health". that´s only the hypocritical story they tell themselves to justify their hateful body policing while retaining the semblance of "morally righteous" tutors/motivators. it´s fat people´s... fat that they find insulting and unacceptable. on the other hand, unhealthy skinny people will still be treated with the customary respect and decency because guess what!!! our fatphobic society cannot care less about anyone´s health!!! they just wanna police you and have a say in the matter of how you manage your body and its basic functions!!! it´s truly laughable and infuriating at the same time.
also..... and this is something i cannot stress enough..... EVEN IF a fat person, or a skinny person, or anyone at all, was indeed unhealthy and suffered from multiple diseases or disabilities, like the fatphobes keep inferring, that still wouldn´t give you the right to climb on the moral high ground and teach ill or disabled people about health and healing. they simply cannot do that. a body must still remain autonomous and free of any patronizing policies/discriminations, no matter how disabled or non-conforming it may be. denying the right of non-conforming bodies to agency and self-management would be to openly admit that you are being ableist.
