Heck, include the boys as targets in the next issue. Being fat is unacceptable for either gender.
If I were in charge of this, I'd be even more aggressive. They should start even younger. 9th grade is already too late, because if they're fat at that age, they'll be fat into adulthood. Try to sneakily encourage a nationwide culture of bullying of fat kids. Instruct teachers to silently stare for 10-15 seconds at kids who are eating twinkies. Use the public education system for good by indoctrinating kids into thinness and not being fat piles of fuck.

I just bought a box of heartburn tablets today and it lists a description of all the contributing factors to heartburn.
One of them in the list literally says, "If overweight, lose weight".
Straight, to the point, no punches pulled, but no offense meant. Just reality.
How long until basic, important health information like this is seen as "fat-shaming" and violently opposed by the masses of idiots out there?

Whatever happened to all the fitness stuff for kids? Back in the 90's we had Schwarzenegger and Bush trying to get kids in shape, doing specials before movies (I must've watched the one at the beginning of TMNT a hundred times) and commercials all the time trying to get kids to stay fit.
What is there now?

^ Probably food lobbyists. They probably have much more clout than the exercise lobbyists. I wouldn't be surprised if the food industry sponsors shit like Dr Oz.

Passarella's mother said she's worried the material will encourage students toward self-consciousness, bulimia or anorexia.
Compare the number of girls with anorexia to the number of girls getting diabetes due to being hambeasts in their twenties and it should be clear just how idiotic that line is.
Take care of those titties for me.

I kind of see this as a trade off that comes with the shift of consumer power and technological advancement.
We can clearly see, it's not the child who developed the ideology, but she is the one responsible for its proliferation.
As younger females are increasingly targeted consumers, their opinions, spead widely through trackable social media are important for advertisers and manufacturers.
We have a moronic "empowered" mother pushing ideas that kids lap up because they like the power it gives them, and media platforms playing into a profitable and popular trend of middle class consumers, leading to more of that demographic sharing an opinion pushed by TV and online influences.
While damaging, it seems like the runoff waste of making the advances in tech and social interaction that were developed and implemented by men like us who make shit happen. It's kind of like we're complaining about the smog from the smokestacks of factories we built. So, do we try to adhere to a kind of morality or push through hoping to find a better form of development? At one point, we literally had pollution that was poisoning the air, we pushed through and found better energy sources.
We'll push through this too I believe, but it's only going to lead to new challenges.
Might as well accept it. I hear the AI event horizon is closing in like a bat out of hell...
