So shaming fat people is okay, but not people who are too thin, anorexic or bulimic? You don't think fat people are shamed enough as it is walking down the street and being stared at by assholes like you lot every day?
For those who favour government intervention so much, maybe you should demand sodium restrictions in your food products and mandatory gym classes in high school before you demand edgier anti-fat advertising.

Well I believe anyone that wishes for more government control should by consequence be controlled by the government in their daily choices. Then we would see how long they continue standing behind their belief.
Anyways a government founded program to shame or ridicule anyone is a terrible idea. Privately owned and founded is a different story though. I still agree it is morally wrong but then its basically just a well founded protest and protesting is still legal.

The question was rhetorical, but seeing as how I have yet to read about a thin shaming campaign, I choose to make the assumption that the question holds.
Really appreciate the thought-provoking response though, especially the condescending thumbs up 👆

Don't forget geodon. I gained 40 pounds at age 12-13. I've turned most of it into muscle but if I hadn't I'd still be fat. I haven't taken any in two years and it's effects on my eating habbits are still apparent!!

You know, I like food adverts. They're oftentimes some of the best and most clever ads out there. Like Coke, they do amazing things.
I'm just saying, we wouldn't have to worry about the effect of the advertising if we demanded the food it's advertising was more nutritiously sound.

Yeah but I haven't seen any sign of this happening outside of subway.
More fattening foods are cheaper, poorly cut proteins comprise most of what is sold on the food market today. It's just more cost effective to provide poor nutrient foods, despite the health effects.
And food is everywhere I go, just driving to work of course I go past 100 fast food stores. Yet there's only one place I go, the local grocery store. I only eat healthy. At work, on lunch break, it's either pack my own lunch, don't eat, or eat fast food.

Only if you get the whole grain with no sauce, six-inch, it's all in the fine print.
Hasn't New York banned Big Gulps now? That's a step in the right direction in my opinion. Nobody on this planet needs 2L of soft drink a day.
Sodium should be next. The amount of sodium in food here is disgusting and completely unnecessary. But it's a great preservative and it increases your appetite so restaurants, and not just fast food ones, will continue to dump truck loads of it into their food. A prolonged high-sodium diet is deadly, but nothing is being done about it.

Considering Raisen responded to a post noting really thin people can be lazy and weak people with agreement, I'd say it likely does not. 👆

I used diet as a noun there 😕
di·et
/ˈdī-it/
Noun
The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.

The difference between fat people and thin people is that fat people are in your face with their bodies. Obese people less cut out for survival as well I would say because they can't move, get up, etc. One more difference is that, even if it's not the obese person's fault, obese people have issues with gluttony, and anorexic people get satiated far too easily, the same amount of food makes them sick, they will loose more weight from gorging themselves because of how their metabolism is set. When a fat person gorgeous his or herself nothing changes, when they try cutting calories, that's when they gain weight because of how their metabolism is set. I have more empathy towards obese people for that reason, I would rather no one have to suffer from being fat than from lacking the ability to have fat.

Yes, I'm aware that diet can be a noun. If you eat an ideal healthy amount of food every day of your life you'll die one day.
Demonstrating that a high sodium diet is "lethal" or even reduces life span is very difficult for a number of reasons (for example high sodium diets are usually unhealthy in other ways so extracting the effects of sodium by regression is basically impossible). Perhaps you mean that people have found health issues linked to high sodium intake?
