OPINION: Being morbidly obese is a choice. There, I've said it. I know it won't make me popular, that many will accuse me of "fat-shaming", while others will argue that being grossly overweight is a disability, and who chooses to be disabled? But to be honest I am still reeling in shock from having seen Plus Sized Wars on Channel 4 this week. I watched the documentary with a mounting sense of horror, as the so-called plus sized bloggers - young, obese women who flaunt their bodies on Instagram and Twitter and have thousands of online followers - and a host of fashionistas, retailers and shoppers lined up to insist that "fat is fabulous". Link to the story. |
