@DottyRoads@tinaaaxo@iamjessinnis@kimchrstina Check out the article I posted above on BMI. Using BMI as an indicator of health and for things like insurance is also bullshit and a public health issue.
@DottyRoads@tinaaaxo@iamjessinnis@kimchrstina This!!!! This is horrible and you deserve better. This happens so much more than people even realize. That is one of many public health issues that people in larger bodies face that others do not. Weight stigma is more detrimental to someone's health than the size of the person.
@kimchrstina The difference is that people in larger bodies experience what's called institutional fat Phobia (example: airplane seats, clothing sizes, etc.) Whereas people in smaller bodies experience interpersonal (how they view themselves) and intrapersonal (how others view them).
@iamjessinnis@kimchrstina Absolutely 👏 As a public health nutrition professional I will continue to use my platform to advocate and educate on these very real and relevant social justice issues
@DragginKnuckles@kimchrstina This is absolutely an issue on the same level as racism bc diet culture and fat phobia exist/are stemmed from white supremacy. It is interconnected and it is part of the problem. A few books worth reading are Fearing the Black Body, Anti-Diet, & Health at Every Size
Real problem: realtors don't show black people all the properties they qualify for. Fake problem: calling the master bedroom the master bedroom. Fix the real problem, realtors.

WOW MAN!! 🤦🏾♂️. Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee?? Has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect of 🇺🇸 and our soldiers(men and women) who keep our land free. My father-in-law was one of those
