I really think it comes from a deep seated inferiority complex. I'm an American who lived in britain for awile, and I really noticed that. Fat is the ONE measuring stick on which British people are "better" than Americans</I>.<BR/><BR/>Being British, I don't consider my fellow countrymen any more unforgiving towards fat than Americans – at least not judging by some of the flagrant hostility, ignorance and intolerance I've come across trawling the net. <BR/><BR/>Given that we have no equivalent of NAAFA in the UK and have finally caught up with the US regarding political correctness around every other issue <I>bar</I> fat, fat-bashing, being socially acceptable, has become something of a national sport. Some of our journalists can be spectacularly vicious and our press has no qualms about allowing them a platform to villify half the British population – something that strikes me as extraordinarily benighted, since, by extension, that includes a significant proportion of their readership. The fact that they do not even take this into consideration and that so many of us are prepared to tolerate it is proof that fat acceptance has yet to take root here in any meaningful way.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Britain suffers with an inferiority complex so much as it's never quite gotten over losing an empire. For as long as I've been old enough to vote, whoever's been in government has determinedly grasped onto America's coat tails in order to convince themselves we're a superpower by extension. Many Brits take a dim view of this, especially when it involves dragging the country into wars they feel are none of Britain's business – hence a lot of anti-American feeling. (Though, to be honest, as someone who has visited the States on numerous occasions, most recently when US troops were preparing to go into Iraq, it strikes me there are many Americans who feel the just same way). <BR/><BR/>There are more supersized people in America but, frankly, with both nations working themselves into an hysterical frenzy over obesity, I think the "fat American" jibes have more to do with foreign policy and the word "fat" commonly passing for an insult than any perceived superiority about the health of the nation.Buttercup Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929261555166423769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1160781009172480972006-10-13T16:10:00.000-07:002006-10-13T16:10:00.000-07:00I mean there's some new BBC show called "Fat Frien...I mean there's some new BBC show called "Fat Friends," remember "Fergie, Duchess of Pork," the guy who plays David Brent obsesses over being fat, they have to have PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS on the tv to tell schoolchildren not to viciously bully fat children -- it's all kind of sick, "innit"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1160780678199427232006-10-13T16:04:00.000-07:002006-10-13T16:04:00.000-07:00Can I share with you all my secret beliefs?

I will assume the need to visit hatred on people who resemble their former selves is a form of projected self-loathing and indicative of a major personality defect. <BR/><BR/>Frankly the rest is pure conjecture.<BR/><BR/>And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm bowing out of this tedious exchange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1160528981516661212006-10-10T18:09:00.000-07:002006-10-10T18:09:00.000-07:00What I don't understand is - what are you FA chick...What I don't understand is - what are you FA chicks actually proving?

I <I>cannot</I> tell her what I think about what she is doing. She’s not a friend or relation so I‘ve no personal involvement or axe to grind. I don't know how old or how fat she is; how many diets she's been on, (beyond this being the umpteenth time she’s used the points system); I don’t know whether she’s gotten steadily fatter over the course of her life as a result; if she has any attendant health problems; what kind of relationship she has with food as a consequence of dieting – or much about her personality at all. I’ve certainly no idea why she feels the need to know what a diehard fat acceptance type would view her current choices. What I <I>do</I> know is that I have been where she is now in many respects and – once I realised there were other ways of looking at what I’d been taught to view as problems – I elected to deal with them differently, benefiting substantially in the process. I have, however, <B>never</B> been, where FFC, nonstickpam and co. appear to be – which is to say in the business of crashing conversations which have nothing to do with weight loss to yell, “Listen up, you fugly bitches, you’d better ditch the pounds because we did and if you lazy-arsed, Big Mac-guzzling failures won’t admit you want to be fabulous, sexy us you’re stupid, stubborn, cracked, lying, jealous or just plain wrong!” <BR/><BR/>My response to FFC may well have been fired off in anger but it also deliberately preempted everything she (and you apparently) expect me to say as an proponent of fat acceptance. If I hadn’t said it, she most certainly would, especially in the light of her cheesecake comment, so I thought I’d save her the bother. Yes there’s an element of truth, (as I perceive it), to my comments but I do not cruise diet-blogs telling people they’re poor, sad, deluded victims of the partriarchy on the highway to nowhere, not least because my views are actually not that simplistic and it would be rude and presumptuous. Fat acceptance is not just about dieting, nor is everyone involved with the movement necessarily fat. It’s about the perpetuation of stereotypes that colour people’s attitude to and treatment of fat folk in every walk of life; it’s about the way women of every size are taught from birth to hate their bodies and fear fat – and the multi-million dollar industries which profit obscenely from ensuring that situation doesn’t change. If you genuinely can’t see a political aspect to that, then that's too bad.<BR/><BR/>If someone wants to devote their lives to "fighting" to be thin, that's their business. Under normal circumstances I would refrain from voicing my opinion unless it's asked for.<BR/>However, if that person decides fighting the good fight entitles them to make judgements about <I>my</I> fat and how I care to deal with it, I'm certainly not going to stay schtum about my experience of dieting. If you don't like what I have to say, don't provoke me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1160520739363125122006-10-10T15:52:00.000-07:002006-10-10T15:52:00.000-07:00Anonymous @ 1:00 - Obviously, I was talking about ...Anonymous @ 1:00 - Obviously, I was talking about the experiences other people have related on this thread, when it was clear the blind date bailed because they were obese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
