Is this fat shaming?

Is this "fat shaming?" Given the ginormous people in sweatpants walking around my neighborhood, I sometimes feel like we could use some, but this ain't it.

Not really. Some people just like to know the caloric content of the food they eat.
If it said "omg fatties get to the gym because your *kitten* looks bad in that bikini" then I think that would be, yes0 -
Not fat shaming, just guilt tripping :laugh:
Edit: Doesn't their oatmeal seem a little low calorie!? Sheesh...0 -
You would be surprised how many people don't know this. There are a LOT of people who think they are doing good by getting a salad, or chicken sandwich at McDonalds!0

The calorie count for the oatmeal is off..
:huh: :huh:
Ummm.... based on the information at hand, there's NO way for you to back this up, bro.
Sure it is, SIS. Assuming that their portion of oatmeal is atleast 1/2 cup, thats 150 calories alone not including the berries. Lets say they include 100g of berries... that's another 57 calories according to the USDA. Not to mention, any milk or additional sugar and/or flavorings they used to prepare it. So yes, chick, as you can see a simple bowl of oatmeal can easily exceed the 150 listed0 -
Err...my oatmeal with blueberries is 270 calories. But I digress.
It's a little haughty, but think it's great to encourage healthier food choices.
Why is it wrong as a society to raise the bar a little bit, without putting anyone down?
Not all choices are the same.
Not all lifestyles are the same.
Not all foods are the same.
Passively, lovingly encourage the good for its own sake.
If someone is uncomfortable with that little sign, I don't know why. Is it body shaming for someone to say eat more fruit and veg, to nobody in particular? I wish someone had put more of the good stuff in my food when I was a kid, instead of heaving plates full of white spaghetti and melted butter. That could have saved me 10 years of misery and declining health.
As for signs, junk food fans are fully welcome to put up their own signs advertising the tasty additions of sugar, fat and salt in their food. I promise not to be offended.0 -
NO its racism0

Grilled chicken sandwich 350.
Grilled chicken Caesar salad with vinaigrette 280.
So they'd be right

If you've ever read the nutrition label of most oats, you'd know that the serving size is pretty much 1/2 cup..that's not an assumption. I highly doubt a restaurant would serve less than that to a patron0 -

One day I hope to be so successful and so far ahead of my competition that people will make me out the the Evil Empire of Corporations and everything my company produces will be accused of being tainted in some form or fashion. THAT is a true measure of success.
Soooooo....oatmeal or a chicken sandwich at the local shop down the street is a Good, but get oatmeal from McDonalds (aka the Evil Empire) and that oatmeal or chicken suddenly morphs into something poisonous. All food like substanance is removed from any item if it is handed to you from behind a McDonald's counter, I guess. I watch them crack eggs but the forums have taught me that I will get zero nutrition from an egg sandwich from McD's.
The forums are an amazing place.0 -

not everything is unhealthy at mc donalds, but most things are, and the industrialisation of beef and poultry breeds disease and uses unnecessary chemicals and antibiotics to process the meat on an industrial scale as the cheapest possible price.
+ it would be better to support local businesses who actually make their food with love.
doncha think?0 -
I think this is GENIUS! And speakin the TRUTH.0

The assumption is that small businesses all care so much they produce food "with love" while big businesses are like "ha ha those stupid customers!"0
-
No, I think more places should be doing this.0

You got all that from bagels & oatmeal?

I eat oats every morning so i know the serving size. But you then assume the restaurant serves a certain amount....again using an assumption0 -
I think the bit about summer coming is irrelevant to the calorie content. I would be happy to have the info on calories, however.0
-
That is not fat shaming.0
-
No. I wish more places would advertise calories.. I think whoever wrote that blog is way to sensitive.
ETA: I had no idea the bagel had so many calories!!!! I definitely can't afford that!0 -
Not at all. I'm sure there are some hypersensitive over weight people who will probably try to make this more than what it is though.
Of course...I'm sure someone will see this sign and sue for hurting their feelings!0 -
I need between 500-600 calories for breakfast. I'm going to hit that bagel 0
-
That must be one giant bagel to be 600 calories.. Last I checked, a bagel w/cream cheese runs me about 350 calories.0
