Fats Should Be Treated Like Any Other Addict Why aren't they? Doctors and such will refer to it as a food addiction, but outside of professional circles you rarely ever hear someone refer to fat people as addicts. Like most people I lie awake at night replaying conversations and arguments I've had during the day until I win them, and I think from now on I will refer to their fat as an addiction in any sort of weight discussion that comes up. "I don't eat a lot, I probably eat less than you do during the day but I just gain more weight!" "I'd like to believe you, but you wouldn't take an alcoholic's word for how much they drank in the morning, would you? How could I take your word for how much you eat?" It's a perfect way to approach all their bullshit. "You can be healthy at every size!" "That's like saying you can be just as healthy as a non-smoker even if you smoke 30 packs a day." ============================== "I have a condishun that makes me need to eat more!" "Imagine if an heroin addict told you he has genetics that make him pawn his mom's jewelry and shoot up all the time. You'd laugh and call him a cunt." ============================== "This is an intervention... If you don't stop eating so much you're gonna adipose overdose."
