i hope the upshot of all this is that he gets a new show where he just gets into fights with people on the internet and lays sick burns down

they could do all the filming before announcing the show, so it just looks like he's having a loving public meltdown, then record all that poo poo going down itll get 2x the viewers man vs food ever did

Food is not the enemy.

Last night at work I was casually reading the label of the Dannon Light and Fit yogurt I was eating. Ordinarily not my particular choice of yogurt, but it’s the brand that my hospital just happens to get for our patients.

I’m guilty of reading nutrition labels of products not because it really affects whether I’ll eat it, but just with the casual interest of someone who reads the back of a cereal box while eating breakfast, or the back of a shampoo bottle while in the shower. Just for the sheer reason of having something to do.

As I’m reading, I stumble over the warning I’ve seen so many times:

Phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine.

It made me think.

Our culture has demonized the things that naturally come in food. Calories, fat, protein, carbs, sugars, sodium. There are products that are specifically made to be zero calorie. Does it make anyone else wonder? If you’re eating something that’s zero calorie/zero fat/zero whatever else–if it’s not calories you’re ingesting. . .what exactly is it?

We have demonized the things that we need for our bodies.

Calories are not evil. Calories, in their most simple definition, are energy. You NEED energy to get through your day.

Fat is not evil. You need fat in your diet for brain development, to absorb nutrients, to cover your organs.

Carbs are not evil. You NEED carbs in your diet for fuel.

Sodium is not evil. Having too little sodium in your body can kill you.

Far be it from me to police what anyone puts in their bodies, but the fact that things that are literally necessary for basic human functions are looked down upon in so many ads, so many products, it really rubs me the wrong way. Especially how so many of the products are labeled as ‘guilt free.’ (Likewise, when something is ‘bad’ for you, it’s often described as ‘sinful’ or ‘decadent’.) You shouldn’t feel guilty for putting food in your mouth. Ever, ever, ever.

And hell, things that are made with real, legitimate ingredients instead of chemicals and aspartame just taste better. And having food that tastes good is also something that should never make you feel like you’re being ‘sinful’ or ‘decadent’.

I don’t want a 60 calorie yogurt. When I’m at work and I grab a snack, I grab it because I’m running around all night and I need energy to be alert and effective. The difference between a 60 calorie ‘light and fit’ yogurt and the 100 calories it would be normally, it doesn’t really make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

But really, I’m more concerned about what we’re replacing these things our body needs with. Phenylalanine? Okay, so it’s an essential amino acid, but to replace other things with it is so unnecessary. In fact, according to wikipedia, large quantaties of phenylalanine interferes with the production of serotonin, a chemical that allows you to feel happy. So in a twist of fate, consuming too much phenylalanine actually harms your well being!

The things that we replace our calories, carbs, sodium with ends up being more harmful than what they’re cutting out.

The things that are naturally in food are not the enemy.

They are both clearly assholes. But all you folks saying society needs to express disgust at fat people to encourage them to get fit are wrong (and also assholes). I've never been fat but I've been out of shape and it feels like garbage. People naturally don't want to feel that way. But people can only muster the effort to get in shape if they feel good enough about themselves to try.

There are plenty of studies showing fat acceptance is actually way better for weight loss than fat shaming. And of course it is easier to exercise when you feel optimistic than when you are depressed.

If you want to be an rear end in a top hat, you're going to be an rear end in a top hat. But don't pretend you are doing anybody a great service by it.

Fat acceptance has this kind of uncomfortable overlap with revolutionary leftists, which is weird to me because in a sense there's more imperialism in your lower abdomen than there is in all the improper pronouns in the world.

I can’t afford lots of new clothes all the time. Or even some of the time. Nor should I have to! I’m sorry, have you seen this economy? I can’t afford $50 Lane Bryant bras, $100 Domino Dollhouse dresses, $30 for a pair of leggings.

and even if I could, most of the clothes that all the fatshion bloggers go gaga over aren’t available to me at a size 32+. (hint: if your company claims to offer stylish options for fat women, but ends at a size 24/26, you’re not trying hard enough.) I don’t have a nice camera to make OOTD blog posts. I never look put together.

She says she is happy being fat except she never looks put together and she can't afford plus size clothing and the plus sizes always stop 6 loving sizes below her size but she doesn't think the calorie count printed on loving container matters and she doesn't want almost half the calories anyways because she needs the energy.

That's her choice and it looks like she's ensured a lovely life for herself by seeking out offense and calling upon her army of followers to start flame wars on people who get short with her. I'm not concerned about how she feels about herself and there's nobody alive who wants to look like her. But to normal people who don't make their living off of being contentious and starting fights, it's instinctual to know that it would be nice to be able to stand up and walk around without carrying an extra 100 lbs on your body.
