(121 posts)I've lost count of how many comments I've seen online on how a skinny person should eat something. Or that a skinny person is not a real man or woman. Or that someone who goes to the gym a few times a week must be a narcissistic asshole because he/she spends time on their health. I don't see many people criticizing these comments.
Tell a large person to put down the cheeseburger and you get called a jerk from multiple people. (If you tell someone to put down the cheeseburger you are a jerk)
As for the soda ban, I don't really care one way or another. To me it's similar (not identical but similar) to laws telling people to use a seat belt. There should not be a law to use something as simple as a seat belt. You should just do it. Similarly, there should not be a law limiting or banning how much soda you consume. You should know that large amounts of soda are bad for you.
The fact that we do, to me, is a sad reflection on society.
