It's not only about fat. I realized, years ago, that in USA political campaings, blatant lies and smears were allowed. They lied first, and afterwards if the truth appeared, the people who had believed it, never checked that out. After a few years, this way of thinking has been imported to European politics, too. They used to shut up or apologize... now they blatantly lie. I think the internet has created "iron bubbles" where people who hate something or love something can get a self-brainwashing. Truth is no longer important. It's the truth, and the scientific truth, that are in danger. Fat Acceptance is a result of it. Actually, it began in the 90s, when designers started to call "fat" any woman who was plumper than Kate Moss.  Look at Calvin Klein's model for "plus-size": https://www.google.es/search?q=calvin+klein+plus+size+model&client=firefox-b-ab&tbm=isch&imgil=wr-b6JuEWkyZnM%253A%253BErQIGnuduwjbOM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.theodysseyonline.com%25252Fresponse-to-calvin-kleins-very-first-plus-size-model&source=iu&pf=m&fir=wr-b6JuEWkyZnM%253A%252CErQIGnuduwjbOM%252C_&usg=__A-ujeur9dLdh8S-S77U9ektQNnI%3D Look at the model in the first line. OK, she has not a completely flat belly, but... overweight? Plus-sized? When I was young, that was an average hot model. Not thin, not plump.  Designers in the 90s used to call anyone who wasn't thin, "fat". Some people consider Scarlett Johansson "fat". Fuck! Scarlett Johansson is NOT fat, dammit! People stray from the truth, but the truth has been warped and twisted. See? I wrote in google "Calvin Klein plus-sized model", and two women appeared: a healthy, hot lady, and Tess Holliday. How ON EARTH are those two women in the plus-sized category? One is completely normal, and the other should be at a hospital for her compulsive eating! How are they both considered models of beauty? How come BOTH are considered overweight, when one is clearly not, and the other should clearly head for the hospital? Sometimes I feel we have to regain perspective. The acceptable ranges used to be thin-normal-plump (plump requires not having a double chin and having a marked waist: lose the waist or gain the second chin and you are fat). Suddenly, thin had to be skeletic, normal was "fat" (as in Scarlett Johansson or that Calvin Klein model "fat", meaning "fat my ass"), and many people started saying "then it's OK to be "fat"". Yeah, it's OK to be "fat" as Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson or that CK model. The problem is those were never fat to begin with.  You just have to love editorials such as "Jennifer Lawrence refuses to lose weight". Of course, she doesn't have to! "Scarlett Johansson loves her curves". Of course she does!  They changed the label of what "fat" was. If Johansson and Lawrence are fat, fat is acceptable. It's time to remember everyone that those weren't ever fat to begin with. But again, the truth has to be rewritten and screamed around.
