Fat bashing is wrong! Period! And obviously bullies come in all ages. I must have been living under a rock the past few months as the video to follow, from CBS WKBT news anchor Jennifer Livingston, just came into my view. Earlier in October she received a cruel email about her weight and she fought back, in spades!
The video below shows an eloquent Jennifer Livingston who explains, not that an explanation is needed, as to why fat bashing and name calling is bullying and wrong, plain and simple.
It reminded me of what recently happened with Lululemon and the insensitive comments and masked fat bashing that ensued on my personal Facebook page from a weight obsessed attention seeker after I posted the attached article. And let me add that there is absolutely nothing wrong with living a healthy lifestyle and being workout obsessed. The only problem is when it is force fed and makes others feel bad about themselves. There is quite a difference between inspiration and exhibition.
The bottom line is fat bashing, skinny hating or any other negativity towards another human being is wrong and it is a lesson we parents need to permeate through our families.
