Do you agree with this quote from J.K Rowling? About FAT as an insult.?

I found an article on her website and I had not thought about it all in this way before. I'd like your opinions too.



… Is fat worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’?…

I don’t want them (her daughters) to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things before ‘thin’. … Let all my girls be Herminones rather than Pansy Parkinsons….

What a wonderful quote. I hadn't heard that. She is a wondeful writer. Sadly a lot of girls are made fun of in school if they don't fit a certain image. A girl doesn't even have to "fat" she can be like 5 lbs over from where she thinks that she should be and feel fat. You think about some of those skinny model types at school who think that they are better than everyone else, I agree wih J.K. Rowling I would rather be "fat" than a stupid, mean girl.
Reply:So she would rather her daughters showed no self control when it comes to food?
Reply:She doesnt know what she is saying.
Reply:I'm afraid that everyone thinks something is "the worst".

actually nothing matters in the great scheme of things.

people ,just survive this trail of tears and stop worrying about inconsequential things.
Reply:She isn't discussing 'fat' as an insult. She is discussing various flaws that people should work to avoid, and pointing out that flaws of character are worse than flaws of appearance, such as being fat.
Reply:I'm guy an I have dated both thin

an heavy women. I date women based

on their looks. I think it is wrong

to judge women by their weight. I

hate shallow people. There is a lot

more to a person than their weight

or what they look like.
