both, and they are all that really matter. The rest of us should keep our opinions to ourselves for the most part.

That's a message that needs to get out more

Good points. It also costs tax payers millions to pay for their medical bills.

Why is it ever okay to comment on another person's body? Why body shame them?

Sorry, if there is one thing I hate, it's body shaming. You see it all the time:

Let's at least stop telling people to love their bodies no matter how they look

I don't think he's commenting on a specific person's body. He's commenting

Having worked with hundreds of obese clients, I assure - shaming is not helpful.

Ashtrash

7/28/14 3:21pm

I understand what you are saying, and clearly you have experience in helping

People are much more likely to overeat in public.

Medically, we comment on bodies all the time and its appropriate

7/28/14 2:59pm

Medically, it is necessary. But fat-shaming or thin-shaming on the internet is

Ashtrash

I'm not so sure.

Making someone feel horrible about themselves never induces change.

Ashtrash

7/28/14 3:23pm

It does for me.

Belboz

So that explains why you come to Cougarboard.

So what's the point of "Godly Sorrow"?

Now imagine the opposite...

7/28/14 3:02pm

There is an image of a model in a "I beat obesity" shirt, but I'm not sure

AndyDwyer

7/28/14 3:15pm

Under that model, I bet people would start paying better attention to it

7/28/14 3:20pm

It may be an eating disorder, but its not based on the same thing

Disagree.

7/28/14 3:16pm

I'll agree with that. At least when it comes to the extremes.

Memmo

7/28/14 3:43pm

Do you really think we glorify obesity though??

Ashtrash

Adam Carolla has some interesting ideas about this one

Belboz

I didn't know how to link to this thread...but it's what got me thinking

Where do you draw the line

Shaming is a tangential topic
