MYTH 1

“Thin people should help fat people lose weight.”

“Weight loss is the result of healthy choices and should be celebrated.”
PART TWO: “BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?”
MYTH 6
“Obesity is the leading cause of death in the United States.”
MYTH 7
“The BMI is an objective measure of size and health.”
MYTH 8
“Doctors are unbiased judges of fat people’s health. Fat people don’t like going to the doctor’s office because they don’t like hearing the truth.”
MYTH 9
“Fat people are emotionally damaged and cope by ‘eating their feelings.’”
PART THREE: “FACT ACCEPTANCE GLORIFIES OBESITY”
MYTH 10
“Accepting fat people ‘glorifies obesity.’”

MYTH 17
“No one is attracted to fat people. Anyone who is has a ‘fat fetish.’”
MYTH 18
“Fat people should pay for a second airplane seat.”
MYTH 19
“Skinny shaming is just as bad as fat shaming.”
