a little rant, about a common misconception

I gotta get this one thing off my chest.

It is incorrect to assume

that because one is FAT,

they eat a lot.

We were at a dinner party a few weeks ago.

There were 4 women at my table;

2 thin, 1 average, and 1 fat.

There was all sorts of zombie apocalypse talk going on

(which I, of course didn't participate in,

as I am completely uneducated on the subject)

and one of the skinny ones,

who was sitting next to me - the fat girl,

says to the other skinny woman,

"You could be on my team,

because you wouldn't eat much."

I'm not easily offended.

And I wasn't offended,

but y'all it has bugged me.

There is a very good chance that I eat less 

than both of those skinny girls.

(and the average-sized one, too)

but because of my size,

the assumption persists

that I,

and other people who carry excess fat on their bodies,

eat a lot.

And that is simply

not

always

(maybe even, often)

true.

Rant over.
