Marry me, Dr. Purnell

Whilst searching for the actual Oregonian article that sensationalized the NEJM study, I found this reponse by an associate professor at OHSU. Thank God someone in the medical field responded.

I still think this issue needs to be discussed further in a public forum. And I’m still really pissed.

Oh…and here’s the article that ran in the Oregonian.

OHNOZE!!!!!

According to the New England Journal of Medicine I AM BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. I will make you fat. I am contagious.

Even if their findings are ’scientific’ or ‘accurate’ is still useless information. In the Oregonian yesterday, one of the doctors associated with this study said that it wasn’t his intention to suggest that thin people avoid being friends with fat people…but damn!!! What ELSE is a reader going to assume? Who wants to be fat?

I have never been so pissed in all my life. Even if it’s TRUE…what the FUCK??? As if fat people didn’t ALREADY feel alienated and unloved and  unwanted…now there’s a medical study that confirms the undeniable and concrete proof that we should be sequestered from society because….OH MY GOD WE ARE MAKING EVERYONE AROUND US FAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!

*takes a deep breath*

I half expect an angry, albiet thin, mob to take me away to fat camp or an obesity clinic or whatever the hell…

Fat people don’t need this shit. I say that all fat people should go out in public in skin tight and barely there clothing, sit their fat asses in restaraunt seats and booths and stuff their faces just to spite the New England Journal of Fucking Medicine.

I may be changing my lifestyle to become healthier…but that doesn’t mean that I don’t DEMAND respect as a human being. GOD!!!

Amid the big push to erase intolerance and bigotry aimed towards people of color, religion, and sexual orientation…fat people are still fair game.  I refuse to roll over and take it. I’m here, I’m fat, GET. THE FUCK. OVER IT.
