Have you tried not buying them?
Just because reddit banned fatpeoplehate, that doesn't mean you need to be self righteous here.
I never once said I hate fat people. What a story you've invented.
You certainly sound exactly like someone who hates fat people.
But whatever you say.
I know someone very dear to me who can get suicidal and the only way to break out is by eating extraordinarily unhealthy food. So not buying them is not an option. One of the triggers for such a suicidal episode by the way is her weight and the stigma that comes along with it. So no it is not option. Shut the fuck up.
and this is why the insistent blemishing of artificial sweeteners maddens me, it's nothing but a vehicle for feeling superior.
sugarfree soda is kinda amazing, can we maybe resist the urge to scream at new things and just appreciate that people can now drink things that make them happy without gaining a bunch of weight from it?
