But then again it's only my opinion,it's the utopia society I'd like my kids to grow up in. Meanwhile all I can do is take care in my own life to be as positive a person I can be, and a good influence on my kids and the other kids I come into contact with! GB, my Fat Parade wouldn't go near the fast food places, we'd just walk form one Leon cake shop, to another, finishing up at the Queen of tarts!Midget Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114529056109093110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-66567802585761731232007-09-22T14:52:00.000+01:002007-09-22T14:52:00.000+01:00I've got a close family member with a serious eati...I've got a close family member with a serious eating disorder so I detest the size zero culture.<BR/><BR/>However, I'm not convinced that a fat pride march is the answer. For a start it would be a very slow moving parade and we'd have to plan a route that didn't involve passing by any fast food chains or Butlers chocolate outlets.<BR/><BR/>More seriously - I can't help but think that people are missing the point with the Beth Ditto thing. Or maybe I am.<BR/><BR/>Yeah - shes a big girl; good on her. I'd rather shes in the charts than Paris Hilton.<BR/><BR/>Is Beth herself a healthy role model?<BR/><BR/>Heres a tangent to go on..<BR/><BR/>We know that extreme right wing politics are bad. Is the antidote to those politics to support extreme LEFT wing politics? I don't think so.<BR/><BR/>I find the sight of Beth in the nip just as distasteful as those picture of anorexic supermodels.<BR/><BR/>Why can't our pop stars just like like Debbie Harry circa 1979 goddamit<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Butgoldenbeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752614241390213580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-90037041170677345052007-09-21T07:54:00.000+01:002007-09-21T07:54:00.000+01:00As it stands, I think a Fat Pride parade would be...As it stands, I think a Fat Pride parade would be the object of mass hysterical amusement and abuse! Imagine the wee gurrier boys. <BR/><BR/>But perhaps this is more of a reason to do it. <BR/><BR/>I was once satanding at a bus stop outside Trinity eating an Iceburger and holding a can of Pepsi Max, and a couple Dublin lads went passed and one remarked 'Well, you know why you're fa'!' and they reeled onwards consumed with merriment. <BR/><BR/>It was funny, in fairness, and I couldn't really argue with him either. Though I am envious of thin people who can eat on the street without drawing comment!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-81789643304435518292007-09-21T00:01:00.000+01:002007-09-21T00:01:00.000+01:00Am in total agreement with you MW, media and busin...Am in total agreement with you MW, media and business interests have spent decades now convincing us that thin is in. Why? Because there's no profit margin in you being heppy with the size you are. Milan is right - it was always considered a sign of health and beauty to be curvy and pale. There's nothing hotter in a woman!bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458929948666472435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-48461309830891243922007-09-20T23:23:00.000+01:002007-09-20T23:23:00.000+01:00I think you should have a fat pride parade.

And back then, the whiter your skin the better. Tan was for urchins who have to work outdoors. Of course if I went back i'd still be a freak, being 3 foot higher than yer average punter then.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.com
