Is America too lenient on chubsters? First post here on Voat but I used to do a little bit back before the ban on Reddit. Anyway i was thinking today, when i was growing up (in Scotland) I was rather chubby and I was berated non stop by friends/class mates and even my PE teachers (not talking a long time ago either, in the 2000s). I was always called fatty, chubby, lardy etc and my teachers would always give me sort of sly/sneaky insults. I would say its thanks to all the name calling and singling out that I chose to lose the weight, eat healthy and actually start to love exercise.  Now, i ask this because I have seen a lot of facebook profiles of fatties from this site and googling of names and i have never once seen name calling. I also love watching documentaries on these monsters and again its like they are treated with the same respect as real disabled (mentally and physically) people to the point they seem to get EXTRA respect and encouragement for doing very simple tasks like going to the shops/walking. Maybe im not seeing the name calling and general low level bullying that is very prominent here though.
