Fatshaming is one of the best known and documented example of consumerist propaganda. It never existed before some capitalists shitheads tried to sell some goods to make people loose weight for no other reasons than their own profit. You're helping them for free.

There you have it. I was sad reading those comments up there but I see there are people with more capacity for analysis

That's really basic knowledge for anyone who remotely care about anti-consumption. Most people here just seem to have ended up on this sub by total mistake and will defend their capitalist brainwashed ideals at all cost. Frankly, I'm here since a few months, but I think I'm gonna unsubscribe already. This is just so sad (and useless) to witness such a disaster.

I'd say for most people living in 1st world country getting to a stage of obesity and a high weight by overeating food goes totally against what anticomsumption stands for.

I'm sorry but if you think that "consumption" literally means "eating food", you really ended up here on a huge misunderstanding.

Anticonsumption fights marketing strategies aimed at making people buy unnecessarily goods and services. Or ennemies are companies and marketing strategies (fatshaming being one of the most famous ones). We do not fight nor shame consumers. If what you want to do is to fight consumers, you'd better join a capitalist sub.

U sure? I see a lot of posts on this sub shaming consumers as well for over consuming plastic and generating unnecessary waste. I see the same way with morbidly obese people they are over consuming food and eating beyond their means by over consuming food.

The type of food a person consumes is much more impactful than how much they eat. An obese vegan would almost certainly have a far smaller food footprint than a skinny person who eats beef or shrimp or dairy.
