no fatties
In stupid_free, there's a post about a girl who is 5'4" and 90lbs, fishing for compliments in

isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.

jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for

blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

	What is up with people thinking muscle weighs more than fat? I see that all over diet and fitness communities and it drives me bugshit. slaps a pound of muscle on one scale and a pound of fat on the other as a visual aid (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A pound of anything weighs the same: one pound. But isn't it true that a cubic centimeter of muscle is heavier than the same amount of fat? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, by that logic, nothing could ever weigh more than anything, because a pound of anything by definition always weighs the same. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yes, exactly. Muscle is denser than fat, so the same volume of muscle will way more than that volume of fat. "Muscle weighs more that fat" is just a faster way to say it. (Reply to this)(Parent)
