Wow, Healthy,

You have the worst attitude I’ve seen in a long time…

You are making an enormous (don’t pardon the pun) assumption that fat unilaterally means unfit.

Beth Ditto is the first body celebrated in mainstream media that closely resembles my own. When I was introduced to her and her music, I almost cried with joy.

I am a size 18, I swim twice a week totalling 4 hours in the pool. I walk everywhere in the winter and bike everywhere in the summer. I dedicate 4 hours on the elliptical machine each week. I grow and can my own vegetables. I am a vegetarian since birth. My BP is perfect. My cholesterol and triglycerides are spot on. And I’m nearly 40.

So you cannot tell me that I am unfit. I am at the top of my game and a hell of a lot healthier than when I was killing myself with exercise (I called it aerobic bulimia)to maintain a size *you* would deem appropriate and socially responsible.

Do yourself and the world a favour and go get better educated before you beak off. It only reveals you as an ignoramus.

I am refreshed and oh-so happy to see Beth and her body – a shape and size many of us share and so rarely see reflected.

How do the nay sayers know she doesn’t eat right and exercise? Are they having lunch with her? (if so count me pretty freaking jealous!)

I go to the gym and spend an hour three times a week doing cardio and still I am a lovely 262 pounds at 5’11.

Also, why is “No offense” always followed by something that you would have to be dead not to be offended by? Why not be upfront and say “OK, time to insult you now!”.

Whatever, anyway I plan on peeping at the cover as soon as I am out of work because…well…no matter how tastefully done peeping at naked ladies on the company computer is pretty well frowned upon!

Karen, I’m not trying to offend anyone, but you should seriously learn how to spell. ASAP.

Hey Karen? That’s your opinion. Not fact. You’re assuming a lot about a person based on her appearance, and to be honest, that kind of ignorance isn’t really flattering to you.

P.S. “I’m not trying to offend anyone but…” should stop just before the “but”. Then you actually *gasp* don’t offend anyone!

[...] Ditto, is becoming somewhat of a fashion darling with her edgy style. She even scored the cover of LOVE Magazine earlier this [...]

GROTESQUE…

Obesity should not be promoted. It is one of the highest causes of preventable death alongside smoking and alcoholism. Flaunting her flab and trying to be sexy is irresponsible and embarrassing.

If she really loved herself and her body, she would respect it enough to eat well and do some exercise.

ah, now i understand why i’ve been seeing beth on the covers of american tabloids with the WORST BODY headline slapped over it and a censoring bar over her eyes. i was trying to figure out how they managed to put beth on there… she’s hardly the kind of gal readers of such a magazine would find interesting! (i, on the other hand, adore her.) i figured it was some kind of fat-as-spectacle thing, which it is, but i’d also assume that it has something to do with magazine covers like this shoving beth further into the eye of the usual public (i love the magazine cover, it’s very lovely.)
