Petition to include "size discrimination" in Human Rights Act

[whiteout]

Guess the HAES and FA nonsense wasn't enough, now people want their poor choices to be protected by law.

Looooool.

Girl gets told her depression, anxiety, and ADHD will go away if she loses weight is crying because she doesn't like hearing the truth. What a world we live in. It disgusts me on multiple levels that obese people want to celebrate their unhealthiness.

There aren't enough facepalms to describe how I feel about this.




edit: I don't recall seeing how old that doughnut monster is, but I bet she's a millenial.

I hate this world, I am excited for it to be over, counting the days.

Outside of having a medical condition, it sucks there is nothing that can be done about maintaining an unhealthy weight and/or losing weight to prevent/mitigate health issues.

Could not agree more. There is always an excuse to help with the justification.

To add to this, I was recently in Disney World and the people absolutely disgusted me. There were rides we went on and we weren't even restrained because the lap bars were 8" off our laps due to the sheer size of the people besides us. I've never seen so many fat scooters in my life, all with a 2L pop and a turkey leg on board. The worst one I saw was a guy in a 'wheel chair', had his wife pushing him around, then he got to the ride, jumped out of his chair, grabbed the lineup fence on either side so it was like a pair of gymnastics parallel bars, and started fooling around like a little kid. After the ride (which he easily boarded under his own power) it was back to the chair.

Oh I thought this was about penis size.

Does this mean I can ride the kiddy roller coaster now? They said I was too tall

[HomespunLobster]

Can't wait for the future to be like this. No need to worry about hip or knee replacements if you never have to walk!

There's no medical conditions that violates calories in > calories out = fat. Ain't no magical fat people when there is a famine or in a concentration camp.

Only valid thing that would come out of this would be height disrimination both for the tall and the short which is something that people simply cannot change.

I was just thinking about this. I can see all the news articles about stores, amusement parks, airlines, restaurants etc "violating someone's human rights" because they did not make their facilities accessible to the 500lb lady with her scooter.....

Sorry we should never promote or protect unhealthy lifestyles.(obviously I'm not referring to people with medical conditions)

Last fall, she created a social media campaign with the obesity network called the Weight of Living, inspired by Humans of New York. Photos of overweight and obese Canadians were posted on the obesity network’s Facebook page, along with their personal story. However, the photos were not shared in the context of “I want to lose weight” or “this is the before picture.” Instead, the posts celebrated the individuals for exactly who they are.

A network to celebrate obesity. The fuck.

What about the physical requirements for cops, firefighters, ems, etc ?

This is what I assumed this thread would be about, short guys get the worst end of the stick.

The doctor who says it may be impossible for someone to lose weight as their joints don't allow them to exercise just doesn't understand how weight loss works.

Intermittent fasting is the easiest thing to do and you can lose weight without watching calories. Still not losing weight just change your hour spread.

There are similar petitions in Ontario, B.C. and Manitoba. It’s all part of a national #SizeismSUCKS campaign created by Toronto activist Jill Andrew.

Hahahahahahaha

Ya, sizeism does suck... those that face it are usually sucking down too much junk

[jwslam]

Size-is-M sucks. I want all size-is-XXXL. Fries, and coke... and then pants. Also my quad-quad timmy's coffee is very important.

My one trip through the Texas airport was a real eye-opener, and when I bought a chocolate chip muffin half the size of my head for $1 it made sense

Especially when you consider the fact that a chocolate chip muffin from Tim Hortons is like 420 calories.

Can't wait to see an obese person working at Joeys
