      The fat but healthy is mainly a women movement, and yes it does apply for men, but u dont find any male movements where fat guys are posing in beach costumes and saying fat is healthy if u are happy and complaining that fit bodies are not better than fat bodies just because they can't be asked to go to gym.
      And also the idea that everybody come in different shapes is completely wrong.

      What? So naturally every woman has the same body shape to you? Also; you’re deluded if you think fat can not be healthy. There is a certain amount of fat you can have until it get dangerous for your health but even sometimes, even though it’s a bit rare, people can’t help that.

      When I say fat I mean obesse or overweight, I know there are different body types but obesse or over weight are not a body type these are medical conditions, yeah few pounds are alright but when there is more than 30-40% body fat that is a problem and is not healthy just look how too much fat can affect the body and the arteries.

      Believe me they can, if u have for example diabetes that doesn't mean u will get fat that means is harder for u to lose carbs from your body, therefore diets exist, there is no medical condition that makes u go and eat pizza every day or any junkfood untill u are filled. Is through there are condition that affect body weight but none make u obesse or over weight.

      I am currently studying to become a nurse so this is a very important subject to me. The only cause to obesity is not just because they eat and have mistreated their bodies, and I don’t understand why narrow-minded people love to look at it like that! Diseases can cause slow metabolism, and I remember having a friend who had a joint disease so she couldn’t work out because of the pain, so she had no choice but to be overweight.

      Diets are not at all that affective. Nearly all people who’s lost weight by diets gains it back by about 5 years. It’s not a sustainable way of losing weight. They can be very harmful, too.

      You’re right, there are no diseases that makes you obese but there are a fair share of them which makes you gain weight and make it nearly impossible to loose! In some, and most likely the majority of cases it’s definitely that person in question has mistreated their bodies but keep your mind open for those times it’s not.

    I constantly see the BBW (who forget the second B is for beautiful) claiming everybody is beautiful, men want curves while dogs want sticks, but then turn around and drool over some hunky man-meat bodybuilder type.

      You immediately dismissing someone else's points because they're being a "SJW" is the same as you making a point about the #metoo movement and being told to shut up because you're mansplaining again. Both techniques are thoughtless and designed to just shut down conversation. if you can't engage someone's ideas then don't open your mouth in the first place.

      @Amy247 Except I'm right and SJWs are wrong, there *is* no comparison. You might as well be asking me to entertain flat-earthers/the KKK/radical Islam/etc. NO I am *not* going to entertain the vapid thoughts of dysfunctional buffoons! There *are* groups out there that don't deserve to be taken seriously, surely you know this.

      Oh and by the way someone told me that I was "mansplaining" then I'd just tell them to shut the fuck up, get in the kitchen and make me a god-damned sandwich. If SJWs wanna reason to be triggered, I'll give it to 'em!

      Fuck SJWs. If I was a dictator, I'd exile them along with radical Muslims to some third world shithole.
