Meme - Stefan Brundage: "I noticed the Lizzo played 22 shows across the country over the course of two months. I am guessing she was on stage for 1.5-2 hours a night. If you've seen her live performances you'll note that she is dancing and singing and PLAYING THE FLUTE in all of these songs. This is an incredible athletic feat. Try running 7MPH in heels on a treadmill clearly singing the words to Truth Hurts without sounding out of breath. Stop halfway to play the flute for a minute. Now start running again and finish the song. Now do this for two hours. That's more or less what Lizzo trained to do night after night, and to make it look effortless and fun at the same time. She gives an incredible performance. I, deemed average BMI by Science, can barely dance through one Lizzo song, let alone keep it up for multiple hours. And I run 3 miles three times a week. So the next time you hear someone opine that Lizzo is normalizing obesity, know that this is simply more fat-phobia disguised as health concerns." - Melissa Florer-Bixler
Pixie Usagi: "I understand what this post is saying But I just scrolled through a 1.5 hour lizzo performance and she doesn't run, she actually hardly even danced. She mostly stood in one place and paced around or was sitting. And she had tennis shoes on, not heels"

Comment: "22 shows in two months is not "night after night", it's about one show every three days."
Did "Body Positivity" Influencer Tess Holliday Scam Her Way To Popularity? - "From controversies to supposed eating disorders, it’s apparent that Holliday wouldn’t have the social status she has today were it not for a few calculated decisions on her part, all of which add up to nothing more than a scam. With an impressive follower count across social media platforms and, more importantly, an influential hold over millions of impressionable women, it’s time we examine how Tess Holliday scammed her way to popularity... one fan documented how Holliday's “body positivity” rhetoric really only applied – from her perspective, at least – to heavier women. The fan in question called out Holliday on Instagram for unfollowing her after the fan posted photos before and after weight loss. When the fan explained that she lost weight due to being diagnosed with prediabetes, Holliday reportedly declared that her post wasn’t indicative of true “body positivity” and that they were triggering to her... Accompanying her #effyourbeautystandards tag on social media, Holliday sold T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan. She announced that some of the proceeds would be donated to domestic violence organizations, as she and her mom are both survivors of DV. Though thousands of shirts were ordered, 140 were never delivered and only a confirmed donation of $1,000 was ever made. Holliday chalked up the issues to “usual business discrepancies,” but many of her followers weren’t convinced. Holliday had been extremely vocal about her antipathy toward losing weight, but she changed her tune as soon as there was talk of a sponsorship on the table, or as she puts it, “showing people that fat girls work out.” Holliday chose the payday instead of the opportunity to tout her tried and true health-at-every-size, self-love rhetoric within a magazine of international popularity... Holliday, who has since announced her recovery from anorexia nervosa (despite sharing none of the symptoms with the clinical diagnosis of the disease), continues to be successful, and because of the cultural popularity of “body positivity,” will likely remain so"
Tess Holliday/Munster is a shitty person, and here's why. - The More You Know post - "Holliday is also known as a horrible person to work with. Despite claiming to be against traditional beauty standards and standing up for body positivity, many photographers who have worked with her in the past have said that they will never choose to work with her again... Holliday's general stalking-behaviour of people speaking out about her says a lot about what kind of person she is. She knows she's doing wrong, and she knows that people can tear her down if they need to. tl;dr, Don't hate Tess Holliday because she's fat, hate her because she's a scam artist, liar, and generally a bad person."

HUGE if true: Dove hires 'fat liberation' activist who ruined a UVA student's life - "In the latest example of modern culture celebrating poor choices, Dove has decided to partner with 'fat liberation' activist, Zyahna Bryant... She has instead decided to celebrate her obesity and demand that others accept it as a moral good. Dove, apparently, agrees. If the attempt to force cultural acceptance of yet another unhealthy lifestyle choice were not bad enough, Dove is also enabling a woman who was heavily involved in destroying a fellow UVA student's life during the BLM George Floyd protests. Bryant claimed that Morgan Bettinger made threatening statements when her vehicle was surrounded by a mob of BLM protesters during the George Floyd 'peaceful protests'... Bryant decided to throw her weight around and instead claimed that Bettinger made a direct threat that they would 'make good speed bumps', started a social media campaign to make the fellow student pay, and forced the issue with UVA, who was more than happy to check the woke box and punish Bettinger."
Why are so many activists nasty people?

Chef Jamie Brooks lost 21 stone after friend text him 'fat f***' every day for six weeks - "Jamie Brooks, who has lost over half his body weight, says he feels like a ‘new man’... Jamie’s weight loss journey began when his friend, 46-year-old camper van salesman Neil Williamson, saw an advert for the Ideal Weight diet in his local GP surgery. Desperate to help his friend lose weight, Neil decided the best plan was to serve Jamie up some tough love. This tough love came in the form of texts, including ‘fat f***’ (which Neil texted Jamie every day for six weeks), and other motivational gems such as: ‘You’ll be dead by the time you’re 40’... And Jamie’s weight loss has changed more than just the size of his jeans. Since losing weight Jamie has begun a romantic relationship with his neighbour Melanie Mulley, and he admitted he’s never been happier: ‘I never made plans for the future as I always thought I would be dead at a young age, but now I’m healthy and have an amazing girlfriend – I’m a new man.’"

Lululemon founder faces backlash for blasting company's diversity, inclusion efforts - "Lululemon's controversial founder Chip Wilson is again facing criticism for his latest remarks regarding the company's diversity and inclusion efforts. In a recent article by Forbes, Wilson objected to the company's use of models with a range of body types, whom he said looked "unhealthy," "sickly" and "not inspirational." "They're trying to become like the Gap, everything to everybody," Wilson said in an interview with the magazine. "And I think the definition of a brand is that you're not everything to everybody … You've got to be clear that you don't want certain customers coming in."... Wilson founded Lululemon in 1998 and resigned as chairman in 2013, following controversial comments about its Luon yoga pants, which some customers had complained were too sheer. "Quite frankly, some women's bodies just don't work for it … It's really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there," Wilson told Bloomberg in 2013."
Of course, if a plus-sized clothes company said its products weren't for thin people...

AITAH for telling my morbidly obese patient that we need a team of people to roll her so that we don’t hurt our backs : r/AITAH - "Hi. Med surge nurse here. I got a new patient last night. She is a 450 ish lb woman in her 30s who just had a major surgery. She is also a “body positivity” “influencer” who wanted to record everyone to “document her journey. We had to explain to her that in our state she cannot record any hospital employees without their consent, and all of us are refusing consent because we do not want to be in her videos. Anywho, she needed to use the bedpan. She could not lift her hips, and her legs were too wide for me to wiggle the bed pan between them. I explained to her that she would have to roll on her side, and then I would place the bed pan under her, and then she would roll back. She tried to roll but couldn’t do it. I told her no big deal, I will go find a few staff members to help and we will roll you. The only person who could help at the time was the cna, who is pregnant. I explained to the patient that we just don’t have enough staff free right not to roll her, it’s just me and the cna, so we will have to wait a little bit for more people to be free. She huffed, and asked why the two of us can’t just roll her. I explained that I don’t want either of us to hurt our backs, especially not my pregnant cna, and that it would be safer for us to wait for more people. Side note, this patient sucked at rolling herself. She was dead weight, putting in little to no effort. She was pissed at me saying that, and she wanted to speak to my charge nurse. She said I hurt her feelings. My charge nurse ended up being part of the team that helped me roll her, and while we were doing it she basically scolded the patient, and said that her feelings are not more important than us not getting injured. She still thinks I’m an asshole, and I happily offered her the phone number she can call to file a formal complaint. Those do literally nothing by the way. AITAH?"

Veronica @celestialbe1ng: "Most of the fat people I know are living off 1200-1500 kcal a day and doing their absolute best—at least 80% of them. Little do they know it’s all for nothing, because being fat is a metabolic issue, not a matter of weak will or laziness. They’re fat because they’re sick, not the other way around. They don’t realise that you can’t out-starve or out-exercise a low metabolism. The mainstream information available will never help them. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: fat shaming will not be tolerated on this page."

Thread by @wokal_distance on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "The National Institutes of Health hired an activist who claims:
-obesity doesn't cause poor health
-safe weight loss isn't possible
-poor outcomes for obese people are caused by fatphobia, and anti-fat bais
America's largest Health organization is captured by activists/🧵
These ideas come out of an academic field called "Fat Studies," which has it's own academic journals. The ideas from Fat Studies come almost entirely out of Critical theory and Postmodernism. Those who work in Fat Studies call themselves "Fat Scholars" and "Fat Activists." Fat Studies is postmodern, and as such is accepts the postmodern idea objective absolute, universal truth does not exist. Postmodernism says all truth claims are socially constructed, and are thus polluted by the biases, interests, and agenda's of the people who created them. Postmodern thinker believe every claim reflects the values, interests, prejudices, and biases of the people who made that truth claim, and for that reason truth claims are not objective propositions that accurately reflect reality, they are subjective claims disguised as fact For this reason, postmodern thinkers reject the idea that science produces objective facts. They instead believe that health science "privileges" thinness, so health tests, experiments, and studies are systemically biased and prejudieced against fat people.
This means someone at the NIH used science rejecting arguments from "Fat Studies" to tell people that obesity is not harmful, that safe weightloss is not possible, and that poor health outcomes for obese people are the fault of stigma and bias, not the result of obesity itself
And here is the big point: The article was written by Erin Foxworthy - A woman with no scientific training, who has a BA in Religious Studies and who had worked in the St. Mary's College of Maryland Gender and Sexuality Studies Department as a Peer-Mentor. That means... An activist trained in Social Justice academic fields Hijacked the DEI blog at the National Institutes for **HEALTH** and used it to undermine science, tell people losing weight safely is impossible, and claim poor health outcomes for obesity are caused by anti-fat bias.
This is what we are talking about when we talk about government institutions and agencies getting hijacked by activists. A Social Justice/woke activist hijacked the NIH blog and undermined trust in well established science in order to advance her "Social Justice" ideology. This sort of thing is happening all over the U.S. Government. Critical Social Justice/woke activists are taking up positions in the government, redirecting government resources away from their mission, and using government institutions as vehicles for advancing woke ideology. This undermines trust in the government, institutional trust, trust in science, and takes resources from important goals and ideals of American society. Hijacking government institutions for ideological ends is a subversion of democracy and needs to be stopped."
