Fatty gettin’ some action.

awwwww sheeeeeet.

fat girls need love too

She doesn’t look that fat at all o.O

You’re exactly right because she’s not. At least not by reasonable standards.

But by BMI, she would be considered at least overweight, and as we’ve been warned all too often (most recently, in this absurd study from Harvard), even being a little bit overweight is like living with a cobra in your house: it may not kill you today, but soon and very soon.

To better understand who is and is not a “fatty,” please refer to Kate Harding’s most excellent BMI Illustrated project (which should have a Tumblr… hint, hint).

We’re told that being in the overweight category is a death sentence (despite solid decades-old research, which strongly disagrees).

We’re told that anyone who has a body like the one pictured above is unhealthy, unsexy, unlovable, unacceptable, inappropriate, immoral, and a treat to national fucking security.

I’m sorry this is absolutely, undeniably wrong.

But this is not the forum to discuss that issue. If you want to agree or disagree, feel free to speak your mind on my personal Tumblr, Atchka!

This blog is a showcase of beauty, history and reality.

I hope you enjoy.

Peace,
Shannon
