NY celebrated "Fat Beach Day" Do you think being fat should be celebrated?

Surf's Up

no, fuck body positivity. shits going way too far. what should happen is just that people should learn to be nicer to overweight people and not look down on them as people. not start praising them for being unhealthy. imagine if people starting praising and celebrating anorexics and bulimics and saying it's okay to starve yourself and that you should be proud that you vomit your food... like it's the same thing just flipped

Umm, What is fat beach day?

[exitseven]

fat people go to the beach to celebrate their lack if physical fitness.

[StudyingAuthor]

Am I allowed to laugh because irl, I'm dead!

[Daniela1982]

That wouldn't be good. People with harpoons would start to show up.

@Daniela1982 how do you think that the guy in the picture ended up there?

[Daniela1982]

Whales and porpoises always seem to beach themselves for some reason. Why is a mystery.

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 yes, everyone keeps saying how intelligent they are. If they are so smart why do they constantly keep getting tangled in fishing gear,

[Daniela1982]

Because they have no experience with it until it bites them in the ass. For instance, as a child some have no idea that a stove could burn you or how it might hurt. So they touch it and burn themselves. They learn. But how do you learn going forward if you are on a beach or a net? Especially if you die?

[IslaTheWitch]

no, should be educated and treated

[Twalli]

No. Excessive weight is an epidemic and unhealthy. We should not celebrate it. We don't have a cancer patient bech day or a communicable disease beach day. We recgonize these people are not healthy. Fat people aren't either. My girlfriend and I got fat, because we couldn't do what we used to do during the pandemic. Now we have to get back into shape, because we recgonize thar the way we are currently is not healthy.

[DryGermanGuy]

Sorry, but that sounds like an April Fool's joke, even in super-pc 'Murrica. :-/

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy. Ou just can't make this stuff up

[Hannajenky]

I think you can love yourself and your body but if you are at an unhealthy weight, if you really loved yourself you would do your best to modify your behavior to improve your health

[Likes2drive]

I never heard of it and I’m in new New York but I guess I wouldn’t fit in since I’m not, not sure why they would celebrate gluttony

[Anonymous]

Are you sure they didn't say, "Fat Bitch Day"?

[exitseven]

Hhaha

[genericname85]

yes. i'm in favor. the more we let natural selection do it's work, the brighter the future ahead of us xD

[Anonymous]

Sure, if they’ll celebrate skinny day too. And curvy day, bulky day..

[handsomelad70]

And older black beefcake day !!!

[Charliefretz329]

Since it represents a majority of Americans, it seems to run counter to most of our other “holidays”.

[OddBeMe]

Not sure celebrated. But not condemned. If we want a healthy population we need positive thinking about bodies

[Kelly6]

@exitseven No

Should not be promoted

[DextroShade]

Absolutely not, obesity is ugly and unhealthy. We need to bring back shaming these people.

[avery58]

Nope. They should just flat out celebrate diabetes and heart disease at this point, it goes hand in hand with obesity and being overweight.

[AviatorTom]

Sounds like a stupid liberal thing to do.

[exitseven]

Liberals are against fat shaming.

[Finchie40]

Sure, Every girl would be on the beach that day lol

[CrabCakes11]

No, it is a easily curable and preventable disease

[Radiate143]

No, most obese people have joint issues. Being obese is nothing to celebrate

[andreasderjuengere]

That's ok with me.

Just toss them back into the sea before they dry out :D

[DaBiggestBird]

No, it’s still Dinosaur Month. Where is all the dinosaur stuff?

[OtterMan68]

obesity rate keeps growing

[exitseven]

Along with the obese

[SweetJoyGirl]

Ummm…it is unhealthy, tho. 😭

[paledreams]

There is well deserved fat joy out there

[Wiredone]

They will make up any day to celebrate

[Alex-Snow]

That is a new one... kinda funny
