I kind of expected things would go this way when I watched the show, but I wanted to just make sure. Piers Morgan had on Dr. Oz, who of course talked almost fetishistically about how fat people are at risk for certain diseases. You know, it’s really quite strange how that happens, like doctors have this fantasy that fat people can’t be talked about in terms that aren’t dehumanizing for some reason. I say fetishizing, because it’s like when you talk about someone in terms of their body negatively or positively, it sounds the same as someone who’s lusting after someone. Is it just me? It seems like some sort of bizarre hate lust.

I thought I’d update all of you that the hysteria over how being fat killed James Gandolfini is still being portrayed in the media. Although, the good news is that some of the news reporters like Erin Burnett and Piers Morgan, have brought up the issue that it may be genetic and not due to fat. So, at least we’re making strides in getting people to consider that enough to mention it.
