I thought this tribe was dead and buried, but I see we have new people joining!
HUrray!

Let's chat.

Why do you think there is such a negativity about weight in this society?

Why is it associated with morality?

    Hmmm, I think I understand the society issue, lets face it, add after add with skinny women in all states of dress etc, but I have not seen the weight issue related to morality. I would love to hear what society is saying on that one. Are you saying that overweight people or more prone to immorality? If so I have not heard that one. In my opinion, screw society!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I am saying it seems to be a moral issue. Everyone ASSUMES that fat people are gluttons, lazy, etc. Also, they aren't thought to be as intelligent, etc.

        Did anyone catch that Kirstie Alley show on Showtime, "Fat Actress"

        Was it any good or was it just another show ridiculing us?

          I didn't watch it. The commercial turned me off when she was driving and stuffing a Big Mac into her mouth. Of course, that's why fat people are fat... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
