fph as workable public policy: a call to action Although fph is a bastion of sanity in an increasingly fucked sjw world, we are both a literal hate group and something of an echo chamber. How to change this? There are two perennially viable tips to any spear of political action: terrorism and won't someone think of the children. Until the fats start choosing a faster and flashier method of suicide and destruction, we are stuck with the latter. Thus: At very least obesity needs to be considered child abuse. I think it's workable as a mainstream public policy:  If a kid was as extremely thin as some are fat: (utterly inargueably) child abuse If a kid suffered health issues that were in the exclusive control of the parent and went unaddressed, unrectified: child abuse If a kid suffered isolation and rejection because of the way they looked (sending your kid to school in a clown costume or something): child abuse If you failed to educate your kid about basic hygiene or manners (shitting themselves and then throwing it around) - not understanding about vegetables and portions and instead stuffing your face with endless amounts of shit - as an entitlement - is surely in this bracket: child abuse I know this has never been codified public policy, but that's because, until pretty recently, it didn't have to be; it was just common knowledge and practice - so-called fat shaming.     Fats should be ashamed. Let's remind everyone, and not just each other, of that fact.   Is this a way forward?  Please share your thoughts.     Thanks to @carsandsarcasm @weaponsgradeautism @theepilepticferret @chryseos-geckota and @YamaMaya for helping me draw my ideas together on this here
