I watched the Presidential Debate in its entirety on Monday night. I am going to weigh in on one little portion of the debate. It is not okay to fat-shame anyone, ever, period, end of story!! As someone who has struggled with this issue for the last twenty years, it is not cool. I have watched people, men and women, struggle with eating disorders, as I have, and the last thing we need is someone telling us that we are fat. A person’s value is not based on body weight, shape or physical characteristics.

As we strive for gender equality, we certainly don’t need to be judged on our looks, physical or otherwise. We need to teach our children that people come in different shapes and sizes and that’s a good thing. God made us uniquely in God’s own image. I, for one, am glad we aren’t all the same.
