Carson Kressley, formerly of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, has a new TV series, How to Look Good Naked. His mission: to help overweight women stop hating themselves and feel beautiful in their own skin.
And that has ticked off the folks members of the National Action Against Obesity who feel that the show’s message is really that “obesity is beautiful”.
It’s no more logical to compliment the aesthetics of obesity than the beauty of cigarette-stained teeth or track marks on a junkie’s arm,” said NAAO President MeMe Roth. “A dangerous characteristic of obesity is denial.”
In other words, ladies and gentlemen, NAAO says that if you’re fat you’ve got no business wearing clothes that make you feel pretty, nor in looking for anything to actually like about yourself. In their view, you’re a self-abusing addict who should hate everything about yourself, including every inch of your body and everything you see in the mirror.
As far as they’re concerned, whether you’re 20 pounds overweight or the size of one of those Branson hotels, you don’t deserve to feel good at all about your body until the scale says you’re thin.
I guess it’s never dawned on NAAO that feeling crappy about one’s self is the leading cause of overeating in the first place.
