You've probably heard by now about yet another reason not to be fat: Being fat increases global warming.
Apparently, though, that information is an unnecessary condition for the popular loathing of fat people:
[In] a famous study in the 1960’s in which children were shown drawings of children with and without disabilities, as well as a drawing of a fat child. Who, they were asked, would you want for your friend? The fat child was picked last.
Now, three researchers have repeated the study, this time with college students. Once again, almost no one, not even fat people, liked the fat person. “Obesity was highly stigmatized,” wrote the researchers....
Man. Things must really be rough for fat atheists.
