as for telling people they're fat, it needs to be done. Obesity is higher than ever due to a number of reasons and i can't help but feel that the "political correctness" movement and all the daytime tv specials on "fat people have feelings too" have tried to make us tiptoe around the issue.
sorry, I don't believe in catering to the ego of other people if they are my friends or not. I wish more people would call me out for being fat or other people in thier lives for it. (it means I would have been more inclined to think about what I put in my body if someone had called me fat recently) its a variable that people have control over, and if you let them know that they are slacking, then they might feel the need to do something about it. It's their body! their health! they need to take care of it, not have people lie and me like "oooh noo you aren't fat at all! you look good!" its bullshit and I've always hated people who are "polite" and slather the conversations in fake smiles.
and people who call other people fat have entitlement to feeling better about themselves because they just told the truth instead of being "polite" which is another social convention of "acceptable lying"
maybe its just that my pet peeve is dishonesty. I really can't handle people who lie.
this is a funny article to me because I've always been kicking this concept around in my head as "the way to be" and yes, it saves so much time to cut the shit.
