Prof shocked to find that women don't want to gain 100 lbs
Campus Reform ^ | August 24, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

An Arizona State University professor was distressed to discover in a recent study that her female peers do not desire "the stigma of extreme weight gain.”

Professor Breanne Fahs, a self-described “fat woman,” recently published an article in the Women’s Studies International Forum in which she declared that “the fear of fatness is far more extreme, exaggerated, and terrible than the lived realities of living in a fat body.”

When she sits around the house, she actually sits AROUND the house.

I know I heard that on some old sitcom or other type of comedy show years ago, but I can't recall which. Most search results quote someone from the stupid post-John Belusi/Gildner Radner SNL days as saying it, as if he/she came up with it.

Do you recall the series or show I might be referring to?

Why in hell would anyone want to be obese and then suffer the physical side effects that go along with it?

Perhaps she should have asked Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, whose weight was up well over seven bills.

Oh weight. He died of complications from obesity before he hit forty (years of age).

I think you're right. From his film "Back To School". At least that's where I think I first heard it.

Heck, don’t incoming female students fear the “Freshman Fourteen”?

When I see an obese person at the gym I have nothing but positive thoughts about that particular fat person. If I saw this fat slob in person I would probably puke. I don’t spend time in buffet lines, so I won’t run into her.

The good perfesser was undoubtedly too busy eating to respond.

At least she was polite enough not to talk with her mouth full.

I get nauseous just looking at that. How could anyone eat that much food?? That would feed my family for a week.

At least she doesn't engage in the silliness of calling herself "large" or "big" like other fat people do.

This is hard to believe, you women can still be plus size and beautiful. More of you to love.

She could have asked men the same question and got the same answer: “Are you nuts?”

It’s true. Common sense informs you of reality and reality is not politically correct.
