    Professional athletes and entertainers are usually fat

    I don't know about party affiliation, but in general, poorer people tend to be fatter because they eat more fast food, might not have the means to work out and might be less educated about healthier nutrition habits?

    I don't see a lot of fat people at the Fresh Market in Boca, but if I go to a Walmart in Boynton Beach or something...different story.

    You’re generalizing here

    Also making Lizzo as a health and beauty standard is not good

    What happened to girls wanting to look like janet Jackson or Sade ?
    Or even Mariah Carey from the fantasy video?

    It's easier to become a fatty when you're older.

    Boomers aren't typically heavyweight fatties for obvious reasons esp after the Great Culling of 2020 by "unknown" or "other" causes of death.

    Or maybe...the left embraces the fats so the old fats die off sooner because shaming them was the only way for them to lose weight?

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I was at my neighborhood Walmart yesterday and ran into a guy from my Gold’s gym. We’re both in shape and we stuck out like sore thumbs. Lol

    This is very much a problem of industrialized countries including Europe and even the PRC. In the US it’s exacerbated by the problems of food deserts where many poorer neighborhoods don’t have access to fresh foods but instead have a lot of unhealthy food.

    Okay these are the hints that says you are playing a character. Or you really lack that much self awareness.

    Really? Jimi wasn't "fat." He also wasn't the least bit conservative. Quite the opposite.

    It's the persistence with tinman that is more impressive. The time dedication is off the charts.
