Now that obesity has been incorporated into Cultural Marxism, “fat justice” can be used to bully those of us who commit oppression by not being overweight. Society must be reengineered at the behest of our new plus-sized overlords:

Any demand made by an allegedly oppressed person is a basic human right. Jae’lynn Chaney, the Al Sharpton of morbid obesity, has achieved high privilege by flying while fat.

Where moonbattery prevails, everything else is crowded out. Before long, there will be no standards at all in academia except moonbattery. Students will be accepted to college who cannot even read and write, so long as they check correct identity group boxes. University of Connecticut is already there:

Cultural Marxism calls for arraying oppressed classes against the core population so as to undermine society. Since no one is really oppressed in this country, classes of artificial victims must be created. The newest one consists of people whose self-images center on being obese — I mean fat:

In the world of fat activism, the “O-words”—overweight and obesity—are expressly verboten. That’s because advocates and “fat studies” scholars want to destigmatize and accommodate fatness—their preferred term—and push back against the view that overweight or obese people are somehow abnormal or diseased.

To be obese is by definition abnormal. Obesity is recognized as a disease by the American Medical Association. It is associated with many other diseases, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, dyslipidemia, heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, osteoarthritis, gallstones, liver problems, endometrial cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney disease, apnea, asthma, psoriasis, reflux, mood disorders, and incontinence. Consequently, it is correlated with reduced life expectancy.

Now a third problematic O-word has emerged: Ozempic.

Fat activists do not like Ozempic because it helps people lose weight, which from their perspective is counterproductive.

Meanwhile,

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently estimated that obesity is associated with approximately $385 billion in health spending in 2024. According to a recent paper in JAMA, employees with obesity have seven times the medical claims costs and 11 times the indemnity claims costs of those with a healthy weight. They file twice as many worker compensation claims. …

According to a 2023 paper in the journal Nature, roughly 8% of all medical expenditures in the U.S. are associated with the treatment of obesity.

But to acknowledge all this is to commit stigmatization, which academia regards as thoughtcrime.

Fat studies, an interdisciplinary field that arose in the 1990s, focuses on what it calls “weight-based oppression”…

No wonder some people want Democrats to force others to pay off their student loans. It can’t be easy to secure gainful employment with a degree in fat studies.

Like ethnic studies and queer studies, fat studies was inspired by activism and organized around identity, incorporating aspects of social sciences, the arts and the humanities. In the language of fat studies, to “fatten” an issue means to examine it through the lens of the fat justice movement.

There is no shortage of moonbats whose heads have undergone fattening.

Let’s not be too hard on shifty Adam Schiff. He isn’t the only powerful person to engage in mortgage fraud. Consider Lisa Cook:

The recent developments surrounding Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook have brought her under scrutiny following allegations of mortgage fraud. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has escalated the issue by referring the matter to the Department of Justice, implying serious legal consequences if the claims prove accurate. Pulte alleged that Cook committed mortgage fraud by improperly designating an out-of-state condominium as her primary residence shortly after securing a loan on her Michigan home, which was also declared as her primary residence.

Her background:

Cook continues to serve on the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve, a historic appointment by President Biden in 2022 as the first Black woman in this prestigious role.

This historic appointment is having a negative effect on the US Dollar Index, which is down for the day…

…reflecting investor caution and the potential ramifications of this development on monetary policy and economic sentiment.

But she still checks the correct boxes where Democrats are concerned.
