I hate beauty contests in general. And I am not in favor of fat shaming, for obvious reasons.
BUT…most of the brouhaha (sp) seems to be about her appearance, and “fat acceptance,” and we don’t all have to be teeny, little blondes who want to work for world peace. True. But there ARE medical things to consider.
LIKE…ALL THIS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9311171/
AND THEN…my late BIL’s good buddy from many moons ago died, in (I think) late April. He’s still on ice because the local crematoriums don’t want to deal with the over 300# crowd. (I think he was WELL over 300#.) They apparently take too long to…uhm…(?)…cook.
FINALLY…a gay couple I know…both big guys…one obese, but well enough to work as a hospital floor nurse, and the other SUPER morbidly obese and disabled…called to ask me (I’m not an atty) if they really had to pay for plumbing repairs because their toilet was leaking into a downstairs unit and the manager said THEY caused the problem by weighing too much. (No, they don’t.)
I’m at the Spine Dude’s today. Yesterday was Shoulder Dude.
