Why should it be acceptable for women to look like this?

it's not acceptable for someone to do this to themselves.

Should we set up an Obesity Police Force to round them up and put them in diet camps until they conform to the socially accepted standard?

it's seemingly normal to be obese these days.

More to the point why is it becoming accepted that fat is good?

Our bodies are NOT designed to be obese or severely overweight. It leads to problems with most of your internal organs, puts excess stress of the legs and joints, and can cause diabetes which leads to a whole new plethora of problems! All this nonsense about curvy being sexy is one thing, and fair enough if people like their women curvy thats their prerogative. But I find it dreadful that we are getting to the stage in a society whereby fat people are being celebrated for being fat as if its something they should be proud about.

Then why victimise them if it is normal?

See somebody gets it, its something that shouldnt be acceptable. Its crippling public health and damaging the health service and economy at large and people want to accept it?

I have my reasons to judge,and she should care from a health perspective.
Noone wants their sons or daughters to be fat





It actually isn't, but men do not have a fat movement.

Because it shouldn't be.

Imagine if there was a waif like anorexic woman on the OP, proclaiming her lifestyle to be superior and calling herself a real woman. [...]

To be honest I don't particularly care about a persons weight or health that much. In my opinion I don't have the the authority or position to judge things about other people.

The problem with weight is that it isn't really an indicator of a persons health, as is appearance really. You can't tell if someone has a disease just by their weight, it's possible to have diabetes without being overweight and to be overweight and to not have it. Also that weight looks different on different peoples heights and bone structures , people gain weight more or less easily.

This is just my opinion though. I mean I don't go around shaming smokers, because it's their choice. I don't support it but I don't feel I have the right to be judgmental.
If I was health practitioner, and that persons specific one, not just a random doctor, I would probably judge but only looking at the wider scope of someone's health.

It's kind of about health for some people but a lot of the time I don't think people really care that much about health . I mean half the people I follow on social media post pictures of people with skinny legs or six packs and then loads of McDonald's and ice cream.

Don't judge is all I can say. I mean who gives you the right and let's be honest, who cares?

Then why victimise them if it is normal?

Lol, she's a plus size model. I saw her article on Buzzfeed.
Also the starter of the #effyourbeautystandards hashtag.

It is unnatural,as the human body is not meant to be built like that.

Because it shouldn't be.

Imagine if there was a waif like anorexic woman on the OP, proclaiming her lifestyle to be superior and calling herself a real woman. People would say she needs help and medical attention, rightly so.

People who harm their bodies like this should get help. As with alcoholics, excessive drug takers and so forth.

Also, believe it or not, having random people in the street or on the internet telling me that I am hideous and that I need to lose weight doesn't actually help me at all. Obese people KNOW we are obese and that it isn't healthy. We KNOW that our diet is poor. We KNOW we need to exercise more.

Then exercise, Goddammit!!!

why should it be acceptable for men to look like this?

imb4 the feminists start complaining that she can look how she wants etc. All true of course. But the fact is that being obese is simply a bad thing, in every respect. These people cost the NHS a fortune. Our taxes prop up their life style choices. Unlike smokers, we don't tax them for the choices they make which impact others, not least their own children. The VERY least we can do is make them feel bad about themselves so they change. This obviously applies to men too, though the whole "body positive" thing doesn't extend as far as men, who are rightly made to feel disgusting.

Seriously, if you have a problem such as being obese, which is of your own causing, and you can solve this problem, then you have no right to complain that this problem makes you unhappy and that it shouldn't.

Do you know me? For all you know I am severely disabled and can't exercise. This is why you shouldn't judge people!!!

I'm not, but I do have mobility issues that are not obesity related, so I find it painful to do a lot of different types of exercise. I also don't really enjoy it, hence why I don't do it!! If I actually wanted to lose weight right now, I would do something about it, but I don't.
