Fat is not a feeling

Quote:

Facebook removes the 'feeling fat' status update, replacing it with 'stuffed'.

"As someone who struggled with body image, I feel so happy that I've helped eliminate one form of body-shaming hatred on the internet."

Maybe they should replace it with "Looking fat" ?

The media seems to be brimming with items trying to "normalise" overweight people. Good or bad thing?

If we do ban the fat word.

what do you call fat people?

obese sounds offensive. and big boned didn't stick from the last trial.
overweight is no good when you're talking tons instead of a couple of pounds.

Funnily we use the word fat as a name as in "Look at that awful fat"
