Should We Shame Fat People Into Losing Weight? One Researcher Thinks So
According to a report released this week, an obesity researcher has seriously proposed that the solution to America's weight problem is to shame fat people into losing weight. No, that isn't brilliant satire from The Onion. That's according to a story published earlier this week in the Atlantic:
People don't hate being fat enough, basically, according to Hastings Center bioethicist Daniel Callahan he argues that nothing is working, and goes on to make the case for fat-shaming people until they start eating more salad.
In other words, people who are overweight should be publicly castigated for their weight. Perhaps a special class which would obligate restaurants to ridicule them instead of seating them. No doubt liberals would carefully instruct their children to follow fat people around screaming insults at them. All for the public good. Or, just deny them medical care until they die.
Yes, we can create a perfect world of perfect people.
