YUBA CITY (CBS13) — A Facebook page created to criticize people about their weight is generating controversy in the Yuba-Sutter region.

530 Fatties appears to be created by someone who lives within the local 530 area code, and featured photos of overweight or obese people in public without their permission. With those photos are words mocking the subjects’ weight.

The page was taken down at some point on Monday after CBS13 began looking into it after several people reached out to us.

Jessi Lynn Howell, 18, is still mortified after discovering a picture of herself posted on 530 Fatties.

Obesity is not a conservative value, nor is stuffing your teenaged daughter full of Cheetos.

What makes us different from hippy dippy liberals is that we have community standards, and we’ll call people out for ridiculous behavior instead of trying to make them feel good about their poor decisions.

No government intervention needed, just good old fashioned social pressure. The way it’s worked for millennia.
