Is this fat shaming?

I don't think listing the calories is the problem (you can argue that for health), it is the implication of the last line, "summer is coming... just sayin'". The idea that you have to be thin and/or fit for summer because it is the beauty ideal, i.e. it's what you should be and nobody wants to see bigger people in swim suits. Summer = more skin, winter means "offensive" bodies can be covered up. I think if you posted this elsewhere you would get a different response. We're all on a fitness for a reason, myself included. I have friends who are interested in challenging thin-privilege and the monolithic constructions of beauty in our society. They would give you a better answer than I can.

nope...thats just marketing...the guy making fun of kim kardashian in a thread is fat shaming.

here, see for yourself.
this dude seems really angry.

This.

That dude needs to get laid, obviously.

OP is a chick

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.

Umm...I'd eat them both in one sitting...am I missing the point?

That was my take away... "Look! Here's breakfast."

I'd make an oatmeal bagel sandwhich.

I'm pretty sure it's bullying.



You know, because we call everything bullying these days

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, yes

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!

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.

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 listed

You cant prove things via assumptions.

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 patron
