Poverty and oppression make people fatter

A common fat-phobic belief is that fat people are fat because they overeat. A recent submission to @facebooksexism​ perfectly illustrates this stereotype and the harmful classist attitudes it perpetuates: 

Like most fat-phobic beliefs, this stereotype is completely wrong.

It is well accepted in public health science that food insecurity – which is the lack of consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living – predicts higher body weight. 

Some reasons for this association include:

Limited resources and lack of access to nutritious, affordable foods. Heavily processed, low-nutrition foods are usually cheaper, but are more calorie dense and less satisfying to eat.  

Cycles of food deprivation and overeating. Low income people often run out of money for necessities like food before their next paycheck arrives, resulting in extended periods of hunger and starvation followed by periods of compensatory eating when the paycheck arrives. Such eating patterns cause weight gain over time.

High levels of stress, anxiety, & depression, all of which cause physiological changes resulting in weight gain over time.

Limited access to health care. Many chronic health conditions, like polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, and type II diabetes, cause weight gain when left untreated. 

All of this means that systematic oppression causes people to be fat for reasons that are outside of their personal control, and that poor fat people are not lying when they report that they cannot afford to put food on the table. Stop spreading the harmful, oppressive, and fat-phobic belief that you can judge a person’s nutrition or eating habits by the size of their body.

what she says: I'm fine.

what she means: Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't coming out on the PS4 until late 2016, and while I'll be able to play it on my PC a few months after the XBox's release date, I will not be able to really enjoy the game to its full potential because of my computer's outdated graphics card and fear that it will overheat even with all of the options at their lowest setting and this is really distressing to me because I am a huge fan of the series and now I'm going to have to take the extra precautions to avoid spoilers a year before I can actually make a purchase that I am happy with.
