I wondered how many of you have heard or read about both body positivity and fat acceptance movements on the internet and outside of it. I would like to know your opinions and thoughts on these movements which are usually associated with left wing political ideas in the west,
Do you believe these movements are important and have some actual goals which could improve the well being of people? Or do you rather believe they are nothing but an excuse for governments to waste taxpayers' money on programs which are unnecessary.
Fat and obese people also have the right to fight for their existence. Some people are comfortable with their body and do not conform to what society expects and wants to see.
This body shaming is also commercial because the slimming industry is a million-dollar industry. They want to portray fat and obese people as sick and ugly people so they can push their products and service to fat and obese people.
This practice of body shaming should be stopped, people have the right thing to choose what they want them to be as long as they feel and act healthy.
