“ The issue, you see, is not that America manages food resources incredibly irresponsibly, that grocery stores routinely throw out tonnes of food, or that everyone - everyone! - in America is encouraged to eat more than they need and encouraged to waste food. It’s not that our industrial use of energy and fossil fuel is wasteful, mismanaged, and out of proportion to any other country’s use of those same resources. It’s not that the fucking health care system is so broken that no one even knows how to fucking fix it, and that practically no one in America is getting adequate health coverage. It’s not that the seats on airlines have gotten smaller and smaller over the last thirty years, or that the airlines care less and less about customers’ comfort and more and more about profit margins. No, it’s that I’m taking up too much fucking space.
thingswithwings | this is so much bullshit, I cannot even tell you how much bullshit it is (via notemily)
At what point do we start taking responsibility for our own actions? Normally I see posts about how it’s okay to be fat and how the media is responsible for the proliferation of fatsism and that not all body types are created equal and that we should celebrate our size (which I’m totally down with), but this is the first time I’ve seen somebody blame EVERYBODY ELSE for their own problem. Bullshit indeed.
