Woke: Stupidity writ large. And fat. Really fat.

Link: San Francisco Health Department Hires ‘Expert on Weight-Based Discrimination’

Virgie Tovar, the author of You Have the Right to Remain Fat, has been hired as a “consultant on weight stigma and weight neutrality” by the San Francisco Department of Public Health.

“It’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health,” Tovar wrote on social media when announcing her new position. The San Francisco Department of Public Health’s “Health Eating and Active Living” program hired Tovar to work through June 30, 2025 and educate staff about weight stigma and body positivity..."

Evidently this cow's claim to fame is her commandment that "No one has to be healthy." San Franciscans now have the rare privilege of seeing their tax dollars paying Jabba The Hideous to spread the gospel of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and death. Victory!

Her claim translated; " I Do not have the self discipline to eat healthy so I I will run a government dept. that normalizes obesity an find ways to punishes those who live healthy lifestyles. We'll call it Fat-Fare."

The formula is simple. Fat people get paid for obesity derived healthcare needs. And healthy people get taxed more to pay for it.

Hope she pays into social security and dies at the ripe old age of 65 or sooner, as most fat slobs do.

Melen, our natural daughter, due to complications from being Type 1 Diabetic and a family history of Thyroid issues, is now obese. She is hoping to get on one of the injectable weight loss drugs. Personally I'd prefer she just do it the old fashioned way and exercise and eat fewer calories. But she has multiple medical issues.

She is obese but not an idiot. She is not one of those people who thinks it is a "body positive" thing to pound down donuts and crap food. She actually tries to eat healthy foods but her blood sugar bounces so much and family thyroid issues compound the problems. Looking for solutions.

But she, and we, know that "body positivity" good thoughts are not the answer to getting her to healthy weight again.

People who simply lie to themselves are just future DARWIN AWARD winners. Maybe they don't know it yet. But those are the people who are on the nomination list and soon to make the final round.

My mom was type 1. For the longest time as a little kid, I thought everyone's mom shot up first thing in the morning...

Obesity is the principal driver of multiple co-morbidities that drive up the cost of healthcare. I'm old enough to remember when much of the left's virtue signalling revolved around healthcare. Now they don't even pretend to give a rip. Because Trump, or something.

She should be applauded for just loving herself where she is at
There is no one size fits all.
It is nobody's business about your body or your diet but your own.
As far as body neutral I do not agree but if someone says it because they are trying to love themselves fully then it is ok.
There are still a lot of beauty standards including very thin being the most beautiful.
And that is hard on women when a lot of women are still incredibly hard on the way they look especially since there is a lot of people who use Instagram.

She should be applauded for just loving herself where she is at...

Only if she is willing to acknowledge how unhealthy, and quite likely fatal, loving where she's at is likely to be. Nevermind encouraging everyone else to embrace all the comorbidities that go hand in hand with obesity.

...There is no one size fits all...

Which no one here has stated, suggested or implied. It's always instructive to see straw men deployed.

...It is nobody's business about your body or your diet but your own....

Except that she's making it everyone's business, and doing it on the public dime. A thoroughly repellent narcissist.

And what a let down to her friends and family when she goes into the hospital and dies at an early age, and probably at the cost to tax payers as a result of her selfishness.

You are right your views are your own and you have every reason for your views and not nice to judge another's views even through disagreement.

 

[Patriot]

Nobody wants to be fat. It's just that some people, and increasingly today, give up on trying to get to a healthy weight. So, in order to feel better about their choice to remain fat, they buy into a culture of "body positivity" that says you and others should accept you as you are, even to the point of rejecting clear science that being fat is unhealthy. It's a cop out, plain and simple. An easy, lazy method to stop trying. It's no wonder then that it would catch on the most with the left side of the political spectrum.

Actually if you read what he wrote, there are OBJECTIVE facts.

Being morbidly obese is literally UNSAFE.

That is a medical fact.

Ye gods. You know what's not nice? Shoveling public dollars to pay this bloated narcissist to encourage anyone and everyone to abuse their bodies, jeopardize their health, and rack up ridiculous medical bills that strain the healthcare system overall. That's something I'm happy to judge every day of the week. And twice on Sunday.
