In my freshman year of high school, as per usual, I had a health class. Now I don’t know if any other schools do this but we watched Super Size Me at the end of the semester (it was only a semester long class). I understand the reasons why we watched that movie (for those who don’t know what Super Size Me is it’s a documentary about a man who takes on the diet of the usual American by eating food only from fast food restaurants) considering how unhealthy the diet is. But here’s the kicker, my teacher continuously stopped the movie to make fun of the overweight people, totally professional of an educator right?! He even rewound the disc and played it in slow motion making comments about their weight and everything. Then he also got mad when it came to the part where two overweight people were being interviewed and they said that their weight issue is genetic; he went off on a whole spiel about how there’s no such thing as fatness being hereditary (glandular problems, come on man). Needless to say I feel sorry for those students who have him as a phys ed teacher this year where he is most likely discriminating against the more overweight kids in his classes like its okay.
