I disagree. First, I don't care if someone is obese and do not want to do anything to help them. Why should anyone try? Its their choice. Fat Shaming is just critiquing their appearance and it will work for some most certainly.
Why should we not be allowed to make fun of someone who chooses to be a fatso? It would be like getting all angry when we offer a critique of a television show or what have you.
Who cares really?
Of course there are exceptions to every rule. My statement was more of a general one. Fat shaming may help some people, but much of the evidence suggests otherwise. And I know you're a man who follows the evidence, correct? Oz produced 50 journal articles, I am assuming which are peer-reviewed. I will not waste my time looking for those articles, as its not too important for me. This is only a discussion on getbig.
I never said people should not be allowed to make fun of someone who is fat. When did I say that? I just said that fat shaming, overall, will most likely not change behavior. But people are protected under the first amendment to make fun of whoever they want to.
At the end of the day, I am in shape and take care of my body. I hope others will do the same, especially those who are unhealthy due to being overweight.
