things we really have to stop:

• using fat people to illustrate greed
• using thin people to define health and happiness
• using fat people to depict illness and sadness
• moralizing health
• bringing up a fat person’s health at all
• using fatsuits
• the use of headless fat people in news reels
• using fat as an insult
• thin people jumping in on conversations about the lived experiences of fat people and making it about them
• the idea that a fat person who is in comfortable clothing is “sloppy”
• basically, treating fat people any differently than a thin person
