Thin Privilege vs Fat acceptance

A couple of terms that seem to be bandied around lately.  Whats your opinion, do you think such a thing a thin privilege exists? Is fat acceptance healthy?

Thin Privilege vs Fat acceptance

Is timeliness a virtue? Not according to you.

 

Especially when you bump a FIVE YEAR old post that you were the last poster on. Surely you could  have made that comment in 2015.

It does worry me being fat is now something to be proud of like it's an achievement. You can be comfortable in your own skin but health issue associated with being fat should never be acceptable. 

Thin privilages do exists. I don't need to cite examples, it's too obvious. I think by thin, we really mean, healthy fit looking. I doubt anorexic looking people get any privilages. 


Well, it can be looked upon as status and a sign of prestige. In some cultures it is.
