Fatties, it's time to fight back: If you're judged obese, you're a second-class citizen at best
So, it’s time to fight the good fight against clueless bullies. If you can’t be at home in your own body, where exactly are you supposed to go? Sure, eat right and exercise. That’s what both of us do. It’s good for us, and it feels good. But guess what - one of us is still thin and the other is still fat.
And that’s only natural. The idea that Kevin Smith would be as waif-like as Keira Knightley if they both had the same lifestyle is nonsense. But it’s the kind of nonsense that our government feeds us every day, when it claims that, according to a bunch of definitions it made up out of thin air, everyone can and should be a certain size.
So be a rebel. Draw a line that’s guaranteed to do you (and people of all sizes) some good. Draw a line against weight bullying. And defend it. Eat what you want and where you want. And fly only the airlines that treat you properly.
Contrary to the lies that now bombard us from every direction, the world has always been full of both fat and thin people, and always will be. That some of them are as smart and funny and talented - and angry - as Kevin Smith makes our world a better place.
