I think this is one of the biggest challenges I see in terms of "fat shaming" It would appear there is a direct correlation between how much additional weight people carry and the general tolerance level for obesity in that community. If we remove fat shaming altogether it's likely more people will become sicker and die faster.
It's worth noting that my cousin also moved to SoCal. She's now in her 40's and snorts cocaine 2 or 3 times a week in the evening to skip eating to keep herself slim. Apparently it's a very common practise amongst her and her friends.
- birdmanjeremy 11y agoYour cousin is a coke head, and likely has an eating disorder. This is not the norm outside of her group of friends.
- jusben1369 11y agoRight. Except she's not that different to the Guatemalan lady in the original story. None of those issues existed until she moved to a new location. That's why it was so shocking to me.
