| Actress Melissa McCarthy, posing fat and less fat. |
One thing I don't understand about America's love affair with obesity is if it's okay to be fat, even beautiful, and if it's wrong to fat-shame or judge someone by their size, then how come when famous fatties finally slim down they make such a big fuss about it, posting photos of themselves online which people ooh and ahh over, commenting things like "You go girl!" and "You got this!"?Why is complimenting someone's newly-svelte body perfectly okay, if not downright expected, while condemning that same person's body when it was obese a forbidden act worthy of censure?
If weight loss is so inspiring, what is fat acceptance all about?
