Thank god some male is pointing out the stupidity of the Fat Acceptance Movement. As a woman discrediting the movement, you get pushed out of the herd.

Being skinny takes EFFORT
So true. I lost 86 lbs in less than six months some years back. This was not by some kind of luck. And whenever anyone mentions genetics, I have to point out that I’m the only person in my family that accomplished having the low body fat I enjoyed until the tragedy that occurred this year. When I lost that body fat, it took living completely new habits, then sticking with them every day. It’s a lifestyle that most people, sadly, will not choose to live. Data shows that most people, at least in the ‘United States’ … are obese. Obesity is a choice. The education on what foods cause obesity is not so difficult to find anymore. Listen to my friend Scott Brick (most heard audiobook narrator in the world) speak about his drastic life changes after a cancer diagnosis… his eating and exercise changes have become his lifestyle. My eating regimen is detailed and is discussed elsewhere, but here’s a little bit of what I still do to keep the body fat away: http://bit.ly/1nwuipq Now many more steps have been added each day as I recover in a 24/7 in-patient situation after one second, sitting in my car at a stop, changed my life.

I know that you know we are not promised countless tomorrows. In this world there are simple truths. This one is difficult to share, but I will: Whether you’re working for a corporation or you’re an entrepreneur, artist… even if you’re not on camera, more opportunities flow to the most functionally fit persons. Sure it is sad, but I cannot change the choices of all humans that are in power overnight. Instead, I focus on being in the best health I can be in. Lower body fat (around 7% for a man) is generally much ‘healthier’ according to mountains of research from institutions that most people say they respect.

One theme of this comment thread seems to be “men tend to inspire each other to improve themselves, while women tend to tell each other it’s ok not to improve themselves.”

My ev. psych speculation is that the hunt, being a non zero-sum game, was a place where shared in your fellow man’s success. While the campsite, where the women and children were, was a mostly zero-sum game, focused on dividing what the men brought back from the hunt.

A young, attractive female friend of mine was yammering on about fat acceptance and “lookism” (*facepalm* to the latter) a few days ago. I told her that the fat acceptance meme was just a weak attempt to guilt-trip guys that she doesn’t want to fuck into fucking her fat friends. When she tried to protest this, I told her that she needed to make a list of all the fat guys she’d fucked before she could say anything else about it. She, predictably, changed the subject.
