she needs to check her big privilege - thin BF probably can't win that weight-loss competition since he's in shape

We just had a vendor drop off 40 sample bags of sugar-coated gummy bears; thin privilege means not being obligated to personally eat all 40 bags in one sitting. Check your thin privilege guys

I don't understand this 'thin privlilege' thing. Are they saying anyone who isn't fat, for any reason, is privileged to be thin? What about people who work their asses off to stay thin. Are they privileged?
I guess I'm not fully up to date with the 'fat excuse culture.'
These are seriously some of the most illogical people I've ever seen on the internet.

The time these people spend writing and reading these terrible blogs could instead be spent giving themselves the luxury of thin privilege. The average blog takes what.....20-30 minutes to write? Add to that the READING of the blogs, and you have yourself an hour of getting up from where your sitting and getting active. The internet is an enabler.

I don't disagree that thin people have it better or even that they have it a lot better. But like Crypto touched on, most of us do work to not be fat pigs. No one is required to do that work and no one is required to be thin, but for the vast, vast majority of people, a choice between hard work and healthy diet, vs not those things, is being made, and there are consequences for that choice. Physical, health, societal, and emotional consequences. Is that fair ? Well, it's hard to argue that your body's response to your diet and lifestyle are unfair. The societal consequences might seem unfair, but at the same time you can't really argue for people to be attracted to you, which seems to be a common end-point for a lot of fat-acceptance women. Or to have fat bodies celebrated, when it's inarguably less healthy for most people.

Honestly, I think the biggest problem is that these people have convinced each other that it's not their fault they're fat and there's nothing they can do about it. Once you accept that, all the other bullshit follows logically. It's another one of those internet hive mind things that we talked about in the fedora thread, where ridiculous ideas suddenly gain traction with some people because they can find enough others that agree with them.

I would love to see a study of people with slow metabolism/thyroid etc. Issues where the subjects eat unprocessed foods at a calorie deficit and work out 30 min. 3-4 times a week for 3 months....

The problem isn't an overactive/underactive thyroid. It's just cookies are delicious.

there's that research about the liver virus (?) that helps you be fat, but even that's not a full-on determinant (lots of are obese without it and non-obese with it)

As I understand it, it's something like 3% of obese individuals are obese due to thyroid issues or the like. The rest are fat by poor diet / lack of exercise.
I'll see if I can track that information down...
This is unrelated to the legitimate biological causes of obesity... but the studies linked and referenced in the 5 sections provide MORE than enough backing science to make the statement that they're fat because of their CHOICES...

Oh so I see they're claiming the lack of personal accountability isn't real and their problems are the result of the plot of "The Happening," but instead of suicide it's an invisible wave of fat.
