Fat, it is a word we all know very well. It is a simple word; however its definition is complex. In today’s society “fat” is used in an extremely negative connotation. We criticize and fat shame individuals who do not fit the ideal body type. Recently, in a video titled “Dear Fat People”, so-called comedian, Nicole Arbour argues that obese people should be fat shamed because they choose to be that way. According to her logic, if we make them feel bad about themselves, they will surely be motivated to get skinny and get fit. More than two-thirds of Americans are either obese or overweight. Does that mean that more than half the country thought “Hey, I wanna be victimized and called out on a condition I have no control over”?
