Ok, I have to say, I couldn't even watch the full video clip to this article, out of disgust. I am a big girl....even when I was at a healthy weight...I was a big girl...so I will always be a big girl, it's in my genes. The twit in this video clip made me want to smack her. All she kept saying is that Jordan, from American Idol was obese and that she represented heart disease and diabetes. I'm not an American Idol viewer, but they showed clips of Jordan, and by no means would I classify her as obese. Regardless of my weight, I've taken 3 nutrition courses through my university, I understand what is healthy, and what looks healthy. My impression of Jordan is that she is probably taller than me (I'm 5'1", so that's not hard to beat, lol), she obviously has a larger bone structure...and she's only 17. I'm just tired of the "fat" stereotype. I'm tired of people assuming I'm lazy or I eat nothing but junkfood and watch TV. I would prefer to eat healthier foods, however my income prevents it. That's another thing.....people don't realize that when you are poor, and I'm not talking dirt poor, its hard to buy healthier options because they are more expensive than the cheap sugary or fatty products.
ok...I'm done ranting on this one....if you want to read more, click the link below
