When Melanie Tait, from the city of Hobart in Australia went to visit her favorite café one sunny Saturday morning, she expected to simply get a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. She certainly didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of a fat shaming tirade from a total stranger.
What actually happened that day totally shook her world upside down. Another customer in the place (a fairly young man) actually had the appallingly bad manners to call her “fat” in front of everyone else in the place.
Presumably he felt that the fact that he was young and still quite slim gave him some to of right to criticize others who didn’t measure up to his perceived standards? What a terrible attitude this is, but unfortunately it’s one that seems to be getting more and more common. Fat shaming it seems is something that’s become acceptable in many sectors of society.
