Quick wonder

So why is anti-thin-people rhetoric more acceptable than anti-fat-people rhetoric now? I come from a family of thin people (I, at size 8 UK/Irish sizing, was The Fat One. When I was born, the nurses admired my fine, powerful thighs). Why do people assume that thin people are anorexic? Isn't that just as bad as assuming that fat people overeat?

It is?

I mean, it's not any less wrong than anti-fat rhetoric, but the last time I walked down the street eating ice cream was years ago for a reason.

One day people will stop getting on others' cases for their weight, no matter what, and what a lovely day that will be.
