"Its time the tale were told, of how you took a child and you made him old. Reel around the fountain, slap me on the patio I’ll take you down. Fifteen minutes with you, Oh I wouldn’t say no. People said that you were easily lead and they were half right."

MY BIG FAT FETISH
After the airing of ‘My Big Fat Fetish’ last night on channel 4, societal attitudes to obesity and weight issues have once again been swayed to suit a more negative approach. From simply looking at a series of updates on my own facebook newsfeed, a very select majority of the population no doubt, the common view shared on the programme was of a derogatory and insensitive nature.
So the women featured on the programme embraced and accepted their bodies for how ‘God intended’. They had no issue or shame from being overweight, their confidence in their beauty was strong and heavily apparent.
All of the women shown are beautiful. They are beautiful because they love themselves, they take pride in their appearance and they exude confidence. Society may cast these women as undesirable or disgusting simply for their life choices. It could be asked however, who should decide what life choices are considered as normal or acceptable. If a person chooses to maintain a larger body and they are happy and healthy in their choosing, who should dictate to them that this is negative? Should we take it upon ourselves to ridicule someone for being happy just because of prejudice in support of being thin or skinny?
No; we should not.
There is no doubt that societal acceptance of obesity will never be strengthened. Being overweight will always be seen as un-natural and unattractive because the media will only support stereotyped beauty in its advertising and programming. Models will continue to remain tall, slim and photoshopped. People will continue to see this as true beauty, therefore judging others who choose not to adhere to maintaining a thin physique.
The acceptance of being overweight should be a norm. We are all beautiful in our individuality, no matter how big or small, tall or short, dark or light haired, black or white, no matter of our gender, ethnicity or sex.
It comes to something when a world plagued with discrimination, a lack of acceptance and a biased judgement will continue to subject a significant amount of people to scrutiny as a form of entertainment. There I was thinking that discrimination was a bad thing, how very naive of me.
This programme was a disgusting attempt at promoting the normality of fetishes. It did however, only highlight the shared belief of ‘big as ugly’.
Channel four, you are shit.
