Mama Cass and the fucking ham sandwich Someone I know on tumblr reblogged this post that just had a little gem of fatlogic. and I had to share. The original post is, of course, by thisisthinprivilege.  They claim that Cass's heart was weakened by dieting and not the fact that she was 300+ fucking pounds. The fact that any obese person doesn't think that they are putting massive strain on their heart is delusional and retarded. The fact that your heart is pumping blood and oxygen to a body that is 6 times the size it's SUPPOSED to be supporting is what's weakening it.  People of normal weights skip meals regularly, exercise a lot, even partake in fasts for various reasons and very few of us drop dead of heart attacks at young ages? Hell, my stepmother is 49 with an 8 year old, has been on the very low end of normal weight for her entire life, doesn't eat a ton, and her heart isn't weak at all.....
