Fat people eat too much. Fat people are unhealthy. Fat people are disgusting. Fat people cannot be sexually attractive. Fat people don't care about themselves.
Fat people have low self-esteem.
So that is how I try to help people see the connections. Our culture stereotypes very large people, but it affects all of us, because most of us are so afraid of becoming fat that if there's even the tiniest little variation in our body's size or weight, it brings all these feelings on ourselves. That's why we support a multi-billion dollar diet and weight loss industry. And let's make that choice based on the science and based on examining our fears. So the next time you go on a diet, you'll know whether you really want to or whether you're doing it because of this terrible fear that you'll be fat.
