Thought of the Day

The "body positive" movement is yet another example of the coddling of the American mind. First of all, the concept was originally intended for the disabled, amputees, and burn victims and such. Then, fat people co-opted it. Shame on them for stealing another group's movement, and shame on them for encouraging one another to embrace poor health. Maybe you can be positive about a physical appearance that doesn't fit the standard criteria for beauty, but you cannot be positive about the chronic illnesses that accompany obesity.
