Continued attacks on crash dieting are among the most convincing arguments for why it's a good idea to be fat pig !

Well here's what she has to say to people like you Riley!!!

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Okay.

Here is the thing.

I know no one will ever believe me when I say this, so fine. Whatever. But since, apparently, this isn't evident even among health professionals churning out ad campaigns, I do not fucking eat chocolate cereal and buckets of ice cream. Here is what I actually do: Pretty much every morning before work I walk 1.1 miles uphill to a coffee shop, which is across the street from the organic co-op where I do all my grocery shopping. I eat normal, human amounts of unprocessed, fresh, largely local foods. I have no mobility problems. I have flawless cholesterol and blood pressure. I never get colds, I have never been hospitalized. I have a great job, I make a good living, I'm in an incredibly happy relationship. Sometimes I eat dessert, sometimes I don't. I pay taxes. I take care of my family. I do not commit crimes. I'm nice to strangers. In general, I think you could say that I contribute more to the world than I take out of it.

And I'm a fucking epidemic? I'm a problem?

You have the gall to make generalizations about my life because, in your eyes, I superficially resemble a massive, diverse swath of the population whose lives you've also deigned to generalize? Whose complex, painful, messy, joyous lives you've boiled down to, "Har har too many Cheetos"? Please.

I know Lindy West is that feminist chick that went one-on-one with Jim Norton about censorship but it's hilarious to see that she's also on the Fatty front and just can't fucking handle it...

[Gunther]

i guess she left out the part where she gets some type of white chocolate latte covered in whipped cream every morning

[spacehamster]

What I want to know is how many calories she considers a "normal, human amount". I'm guessing she has no idea. They never do.

[Raw Ting]

It always comes back to the point of, barring an actual medical condition or a fucked up metabolism, fat people over fucking eat and don't know proper portion sizes. I can't fucking stand seeing fat people pretend that they don't over god damn eat. So retarded. and a mile and a half walk uphill doesn't burn off even a quarter of the calories in a orange mocha frap with whip, you piece of shit, so don't even mention it.

[riley-o]

I think it's fucking hilarious when some slob trots out the ol' "I'm an athlete ! Why, just this morning I walked over a mile, so don't make assumptions about my health !" Wow, you walked ?? A whole mile, you say ! Well haven't I been put in my place ! By the way, what do you get at the coffee shop when you walk (no, I know, uphill !) there, every day ?

My biggest problem with this, though, is that her argument seems to be that since she's not the person that the ads are targeting (assuming she's not lying about her portions and food choices, which, come on.) then NO ONE is the person these ads are targeting. And that seems like a pretty monstrous leap, especially for someone as girthy as Lindy.

[spacehamster]

IRL the second somebody mentions walking in any vaguely health or exercise related context, I try to change the subject as fast as I can. Because fuck. I mean FUCK.

I mean, unless they're, like, 70.

[FVBTVS]

slinky would still bone lindy west..

[Comrade Slinky]

I'd need a decent look at her arse first before I committed to anything.

[riley-o]

The new world we create is going to be a tough one for our old pal Slinky..

[FVBTVS]

since i dont know what slinky looks like i can just idealize him as a decent looking clean cut gentleman with no visible problems but he just has this fatal flaw. its fun.

[Geeheeb]

I went from riding 160+ miles a week to struggling to walk 200 feet. Maybe these people just have important bones that are broken.

[riley-o]

Their point usually is that they're otherwise healthy fats who just happen, by the cruelest of chance, to be fat. No outside reasons need apply.

Oh look! Here's an article she wrote about lying on her active and healthy diet ass for 24 hours watching tv.

All full of misleading fat chick myspace angle selfies.

This might be 1000 calories more than I eat in a day and I'm a ~190 lbs. active male

Fats are junkies, and they lie about their intake just like all other junkies do. Actually, I think heroin/opioid addicts are more honest about how much they use, because they really just don't give a fuck. Alcoholics, smokers, rapists, and eaters almost always at least halve what they imbibe in when asked.

[Necrometer]

fuck

FAT SHAMING

[Dr Yail Bloor]

I was just thinking of putting cards with what that person eats in a day on passed out fatties.

[Raw Ting]

I have a relative who's a bleeding heart facebook activist, constantly posting about the fight for GMO labeling, and a constant stream of nutrition factoids pictures. This person also happens to eat a fuckton of fastfood, and at any given time the trunk of her subaru is littered with a ton of mcdonalds bags. Did i mention she's an avid jezebel/huffpost reader?

[Thrashmaster Flash]

That picture of 24 hours worth of "snacks" is making me nauseous. This is coming from someone who woke up at noon and ate 5 cookies for breakfast (small ones, and I stand by my decision). Oh wait, they're "human-sized" portions, though—that explains it.
