So I was watching the Tyra show today...
yeah, shame on me.
Anyway it was one of her 'undercover' investigations or whatever...except this time on obesity!! Those 4 readers of mine (what's up guys?) might already know that I'm obsessed with obesity. Or maybe they don't know that I'm obsessed.
But I kinda am.
And what's worse is that I like to watch things about obesity as I'm eating. I feel like it cancels out or something--which, makes NO sense!
Anyway, she went into the idea of fat discrimination being the last form of 'suitable' discrimination. And it got me thinking (God job, Tyra!) that she is totally right. And what's worse, the people she had on her show were these TERRIBLE completely ignorant women who just went on and on about how obese people or just fat people were disgusting/gross. I was SHAKING I was so angry. I mean, I know a couple people at school who say mean things about fat people...or rather make gross assumptions about all fat people...but none of them have the gall...or rather all of them have the SENSE to keep it to themselves.
Seriously, when did it become okay to be rude, just because you think fat people are ugly?
And for the record--I don't think fat people are ugly!! I mean...how on earth can you generalize about a whole group of people? And seriously where are we drawing the line at fat?? Is it like 200 pounds? Is it like 20 pounds overweight (can I get a what-what?)? Or is it just...I don't know whatever you feel like?
Anyway, the point is...people make me angry! And I celebrated my anger with a jamba juice and a gingeroo (legitimately the tastiest cookie ever)!
Besides general anger though, the show sort of opened me up to the idea of a new career choice. You know I always thought I'd study psychology in college...but then I'd just become a lawyer or something like that afterwards. What if I actually kept studying psych and then became some sort of body image specialist who went around telling women to love their bodies!?
Cool, right?
I'd be all, "hey world, love me" and then I'd like roast a chicken in the flames from my burning bra...
I don't know how this post ended up here...
whatever,
Fatty out
