Poison of the Mind [RANT] It fucking infuriates me. I was telling a group of friends of mine about why I think being fat is really bad and fat shaming should not be looked down upon. I compared anti-fat campaigns to anti-smoking campaigns. Which I think is a fair comparison. Those friends simply said: "it's not the same." I asked them why. They said fat doesn't affect people around them, smoking does. At this point I was amazed at how they couldn't see that fat affects everyone around them. I told them fat people smell, I told them fat people waste tax payers money, I told them fat people injure nurses. They said they didn't care and we should all live and let live. I'm seriously upset about this, how can they be so close minded about something that is clearly an issue? No fucking wonder everyone's getting fatter and fatter. This mindset, this toxic "being fat is your own business" idea affects minds of people who are otherwise rational young adults.
