Fatties coddled at my work (rant) I'm not sure if this belongs here or in v/talesoffathate, mods feel free to place it where you see fit, it's a short rant about fat privilege at my work.  So my work has this "little" event put on by the wellness committee called "The Biggest Winner". It's an annual event in its fifth iteration that lasts from the beginning of February to the end of March. As you can probably guess it's a bastardization of that fat-shaming show "The Biggest Loser" in which fat people try to lose more weight than other fatties. Same at my work, whoever can lose the most amount of weight in that time "wins". For those wondering, the prizes are iWatches, various cash prizes and AmEx gift cards. The problem I have with it is the metric by which they measure your weight loss is not percentage-based, as in who can lose the highest percentage of body weight relative to their starting weight, no, it's a straight "who can lose the most poundage" contest, which automatically puts fats at an huge advantage, as they have copious amounts of excess weight to lose. This is a direct example of fat privilege. By making it a pound-for-pound challenge and not one of proportion they are pretty much excluding all thin people at my work and I don't see how this is acceptable in a corporate environment, especially since we are a division of a large multinational corporation with over 30,000 employees. If there was a contest that had rules that essentially negated any fat people's efforts (lol) at participation there would be porkers "REEEEEEEE"ing all over the streets!     I understand why my work is doing this; there are a lot of fatties here and my company has to pay for their health insurance. Over the past 5-6 years we've changed providers 4 times because so many of my co-workers are getting so fucking fat and driving up our premiums with their shitty health that the company is trying to be proactive and incentivize weight loss. It makes sense, in the long run it'll save them a lot of money and we all know fat fucks won't do anything unless they get some kind of reward in return, so I get it. What pisses me off the most is there's no reward for already being in shape and healthy and not needing to go to the doctor or take meds or use my fucking insurance at all. I guess my reward is being promoted over the fats and being in good health and being able to look in the mirror and not hate myself lol. I don't even want an iWatch, it's the principle of the matter. Why don't we have a pull-up competition with cash prizes? Because the fucking fats would rear up like rabid fucking boars and scream frothy curses of injustice, that's why. I don't want to go so far as to call it thin-shaming because I can't be ashamed of my body, but it sure as shit seems like they're catering to fatties here. It disgusts me. Fats fucking disgust me. They are literally chewing and eating away at the fabric of our society and the majority of people are ok with it! This is why we need fph, it's people fed up with this fatlogic shit that are willing to speak their minds against it and not worry about whether we are being PC or not. The writing's on the fucking wall, fatties, pull your forehead fupa out of your eyes and read it!    TL;DR: Fatties at my work get special events aimed at them losing weight, complete with prizes and pats-on-the-back, thin people get to take on their workload while they're weighing themselves and attending the "meetings", fuck fat people.
