Food shaming as a form of fat shaming has happened to every fat person I know. Here are some examples of when fat people clap back at fatphobes.

Fat people on Instagram have been noticing a disturbing double standard when it comes to supposed “violations” of Instagram's guidelines.

Alexa Moreno recently found herself the subject of a whole lot of fat-shaming on social media.

What happens when you suggest diet behavior to a kid who’s about to grow a foot? How do you affect their growth? How to you affect their health? This is fat-shaming kids!

Keep working, keep pushing, live so that these people call you attention seeking activists every day. You are making the world better.
