In a Facebook post about a year ago I referred to Trump as "the fat oaf," back when we were trying to not spell out his name. Someone implored me to refrain from "body shaming." My response was "no." I've known people with multiple sclerosis, cancer, disabilities of all sorts, people who would leap at a chance to rid themselves of their problems by something as freaking simple as going on a diet. When I stopped taking Zoloft I dieted off over a hundred pounds in nine months, instead of demanding that people not notice I'd developed a belly. As Rosanne Barr said back before she stopped being funny, "if you're fat, then be fat, and shut up." And if being fat makes you feel bad about yourself, then eat less for a while.
