i am so angry! yesterday the fucking cbc (who i love by the way) posted this story. turns out 25% of kids in Canada are fat and will live shorter lives than their parents! this story is based on a house of commons report on the status of fat kids in canada! (note: i'm using fat because i think the terms "overweight" and "obese" are too nice and detract from the fact that this is a bunch of fucking fat fear!!). the report goes on to say that 55% of aboriginal kids on reserves are fat! because they eat processed food! not because maybe the communities are living fucking third world standards and are more worried about food security and surviving the residential schools let alone fatness!! grrr! i'm so angry! the report also says that three actions need to be taken:
"* Start a comprehensive public awareness campaign." (ie. "hey you! you're fat and we hate you!")
"* Mandate standardized labels on the front of packages." (ie. "hey you! this food you're about to be putting in your body will make you fat or fatter and everyone will either hate you or hate you more because you supposedly are draining the medical fund!! fuck you fatty!!! we don't think you have feelings!!")
"* Remove trans fats from the Canadian diet and replace them with an alternative low in saturated fat." (ie. "hey you! didn't you know that trans fats are the only thing that make you fat!? that means that the only reason you're obese you fatty is because you eat shitty! not because you grew up fat, or because you don't have the financial opportunity to have access to the food you need to be health! nor is it because you eat a lot of fast food because you spend all your time at work trying to live the wonderful american dream with your suv and your dvd player and your juicy suits. no no no, i'm only telling you you're fat, not creating the culture that is keeping you fat, no no no!")
did you know that there is also an international obesity taskforce!? mother fuckers! this fat fear and war on obesity is another thing to distract us from what's really going on in the world! it is totally a master plan of patriarchy, colonialism, and fucking global white domination!!! grrrr!!!!
so, i found the chubsters!! and they're amazing! i want to be a chubster! bring on my donut fist. don't fucking fight against fat in my neighbourhood! aren't our problems a little more than some fucking trans fats? grrrrrrr!!!!!

I gave up fast food three years ago, mainly due to the conditions in which its created. I don't regret it, at first I missed it, you have no idea how badly you just want McDonalds sometimes, but I stuck to it, and I'm very glad I did. I feel better now, mentally and physically. But you're right, the culture needs to be worked on, its deeper than people just not being educated.
