    Some of my scattered thoughts on the subject:

    1. Treating people poorly because of their health and/or appearance is reactionary and has no place in fascist socialist spaces

    2. Obesity is largely a modern phenomena that disproportionately affects the poor and people of color.

    3. Obesity is one of the most serious risk factors for an enormous number of health issues and generally leads to lower quality of life

    4. Being visually fat is not automatically an indicator of poor health, however

    5. A socialist food and health program would reduce obesity and improve quality of life without ostracizing or alienating fat people

    6. Socialists should focus on their health first for their own sake and as a political goal second

    7. We have seriously fucked up body images in our society largely as a result of advertising and, more recently, the explosion of superhero media with unhealthy depictions of supposedly ideal bodies
