Thin People Eat Too

Oh my goodness she is eating a cup of ramen, but only fat and lazy people eat those!!!!

 

What about the myth that thin people eat nothing but broccoli spears and eat everything in "moderation"?

I sure don't see it. My husband goes to a hamburger and ice cream stand where I sometimes get a grilled chicken sandwich and I see these stick-thin people eating giant ice cream cones. I haven't had one in ten years, I'm lactose intolerant.

I've been to church and other buffets where lithe like folks  have eaten seconds and thirds. At the grocery store I decided to watch grocery carts, wish I could have taken pictures but that is a bit in your face, and thin people often times had just as much crappy food as the fat ones, a few thin girls looked ready to go on sugar-freak out fests. Why do single women eat so much sugary yogurt and cookies?

This includes soda, processed foods, ice cream, candy, and many other "bad" foods. Some may say oh those thin people that ice cream cone was their food for the entire day or if they go to a buffet they don't eat for three more days.

Sorry don't buy it.

I have lived with thin people and sure I encountered a few bulimic girls who barfed every time they ate and this one weird male roommate who would go two days without eating while he slept and then who would binge on family sized boxes of macaroni and cheese but as far as I know never purged.

I lived with other thin people who seemed to get hungry at about the same intervals as I did, and who ate about the same amount of food. If I eat one turkey sandwich with a slice of vegan soy cheese on it does that make me a huge fat lazy pig? Well thin people can eat a sandwich and they are not called pigs.

Lets look at Anthony Bourdain, skinny guy though he has put a few pounds in last few years, but you ever watch this guy eat for one of his shows? Why isn't he fat? Is he barfing up all that pork he says he loves? You can follow the time where he is eating a LOT of FOOD for every meal, and snacks included. That pork chop bun has to be 800-900 calories EASY.

 

Are they all purging? Doubtful.

So prove to me that thin people eat "so much better" then me. PROVE IT. I don't buy it. Yeah some of them can burn it off better, go for a run with working lungs and heart. But the idea that all thin people are paragons of food virtue is total nonsense.  

Why Are Kids Obese?

 I had this thought the other day, when a friend said, "you need to do some couponing to save money!" I told them there is nothing they make coupons for that I would buy, except maybe a few NewMan Own products like lite balsamic vinegar salad dressing. Anyhow I sat and thought, "why can't one get a coupon for broccoli?"? Anyhow the above defines why you will see more poor fat kids and thin rich ones. I love salad, and well it runs out first and is the least affordable during the food insecure weeks.

Willa Wonka comparisons, I had the thought when I saw part of the old Willy Wonka film recently, that Augustus Gloop was barely fat! This first kid would barely register on anyone's mind as "fat" maybe just a little large today but I remembering the 1970s watching this movie with a class, he was seen as horribly fat!

Something to Ponder

I know I make a lot of people "angry".

That will happen if you refuse to "conform".

It's not easy, I will tell you this following your own drummer in this life, doesn't always make you friends.

I know when it comes to obesity, I am outside the accepted fat acceptance circles, the diet industry, AND the weight loss surgery crowd.

So where does that leave me?

Their answers didn't work, and maybe in a few cases they worked for them [such as in weight loss surgery]

but then when people are so intent on silencing you, or telling you that you are wrong, or that what you feel doesn't matter,

It makes you wonder.

Maybe you are saying something that is getting to a few people?

Cupcake Clothes

Love the Clothes, colors and designs, but the very short skirts, to me give too much of the baby-doll vibe. I have this thing about never wearing anything that is "baby dollish", and you'll never see me with a skirt that is above mid-calf, and tights if you weigh over 350lbs enter the realm of impossible, but her outfits would be wonderful with long skirts attached. The designs are cute.

Lois Lane Gets Fat?

Source Dial B For Blog

First thing on her mind, "Ill die if Superman sees me!" Not worries about health or anything like that.

"Lois Lane, never at a loss for strange transformations, gets fat in this issue. Or not just "fat," but "the Fattest Girl in Metropolis!" Obviously a city where REALLY fat people are not allowed to enter. So what does Lois worry about? Her health? A heart attack? No! She has but one thought, which she must say out loud: "If Superman ever saw me now, I'd die!"
