Lindy West Quotes

Fat People Already Are Ashamed. It's Taken Care Of. No Further Manpower Needed On The Shame Front, Thx. I Am Not Concerned With Whether Or Not Fat People Can Change Their Bodies Through Self-discipline And "choices." Pretty Much All Of Them Have Tried Already. A Couple Of Them Have Succeeded. Whatever. My Question Is, What If They Try And Try And Try And Still Fail? What If They Are Still Fat? What If They Are Fat Forever? What Do You Do With Them Then? Do You Really Want Millions Of Teenage Girls To Feel Like They're Trapped In Unsightly Lard Prisons That Are Ruining Their Lives, And On Top Of That It's Because Of Their Own Moral Failure, And On Top Of That They Are Ruining America With The Terribly Expensive Diabetes That They Don't Even Have Yet? You Know What's Shameful? A Complete Lack Of Empathy.
