I just wanted to write a quick update on the things that have to go because they’re fat-hating.

Taco Bell

First, and somewhat ironically (?), Taco Bell is being boycotted. Their latest advertisement is a serious (!!!) diet ad, claiming that a person who ate Taco Bell lost 49 pounds and is looking her finest. Of course, loud and clear she says, “what happened to me is not typical but it could happen to you, too.”

I contend she got a parasite from her Taco Bell food which consumed every calorie she ate and more and that’s where her weight went.

Frankly, I don’t eat Taco Bell anyway because I don’t trust any place who’s meat can be that inexpensive.

Whole Foods Hates Whole Bodies

The nauseating new campaign by Whole Foods to reward their employees for low BMIs makes an already overpriced place that I couldn’t afford to shop anyway that much easier to avoid.

When I said of Taco Bell that I didn’t like my meat to be too cheap, I didn’t mean that I should be charged the price of gold.

Wall Street Journal

So a recent article in the Wall Street Journal discusses “Normal Weight Obesity,” claiming that even thin people can be fat health-wise. Now thin people, when they suffer health problems, are fat. That means that unhealthy now equals fat rather than just fat equalling unhealthy.

I think I’m going to go crazy.

I know there were some other things but that’s just by way of a friendly update. Anything else that comes to mind that’s fat-hating that I should be boycotting in my experiment? Let me know in the comments.
