[Content Note: Fat hatred.]
"Nobody knows for sure the long term health effects of living in a society that constantly stigmatizes you and tells you that you can't possible be healthy. Nobody knows what would happen to fat people's health if they didn't live in a society that constantly stigmatizes them."—Ragen Chastain, brilliantly stating what should be obvious but is anything but, in "What 'Everybody Knows' About Fat People."
I love this quote with one million hearts.
