Does anyone else get annoyed with these double standards regarding weight? I saw a commercial this morning where a super skinny guy was eating Jif peanut butter straight from the jar. But if they had an overweight actor doing that then there would be issues and the actor would get cyber bullied and stuff. They had the skinny doing the commercial on purpose.
It just triggers me a bit how society views overweight people. It makes me be really careful and particular about my own self. I walked around the grocery store this morning with seasonal flavors of Oreos and Pop Tarts for my brother. No one glanced at me. But I’ve heard stories of people making comments at overweight people about what is in their carts.
It’s just difficult for me to comprehend sometimes.
Not related to this but I do eat just plain peanut butter but it’s usually the little cups of it. Not the big jars. Although I did do that before once.
