Not one mention of obesogenic animal products which is the most significant contributing factor to their condition. The lack of respect towards other individuals, both animals and even humans, is palpable:

"Sarah now says it should be against the law to make comments about body shape and size"

Your freedom ends when she decides her feelings are hurt. This is classic narcissistic personality disorder.

Or - one might interpret her comment as a very normal, human way to vocalize her displeasure with the really crappy hand she's been dealt in life. She's not a Law Lord, with actual power to restrict your freedom of speech. Nor a Philosophy Professor, whose statements should always be analyzed with the Pedantry control dialed up to 11.

Those who claim that recent years brought nothing but bigotry, division, and slop, should consider lives of those people. For the first time ever, nearly all of them can live a normal life today thanks to GLP-1.
