Let's talk about fat bias and thin privilege | Madison A. Krall | TEDxMileHigh 

She's talking about America, not Africa.

Okalani5000 please watch what the health on RU-vid- it will change you life

Does everybody think everyone in most 3rd world countries are skinny to the point of being sickly

Lydia L uh yeah that’s why it’s called a 3rd world country there are exceptions tho but they’re not the rule

A 3rd world is a developing country. This term was used during the cold war so developing usually focused on specifically the military and nuclear weapons. Now it doesn't mean the same thing, and it is not as accurate, so most 3rd world countries are the exception.

harbl99 not if someone is naturally thin because of a fast metabolism. It’s called luck and genetics. Fact.

Yah I have a fast metabolism but some people I meet even ask me if I've been starving myself it's really disappointing.

Not every thin person has high metabolism

@@JessSG exercise improves your metabolism. Don't blame genetics for that.

@@JessSG sounds like you're just looking for excuses.

She sounded out of breath up there lol

@B. G. why....

@B. G. I'm pretty sure you should try and find out why that is. Also i am aware that you can be underweight and unhealthy as well. Either way it was just funny because thin privilege is ridiculous.

Sounds like she is being fed her lines

She is not thin. She is robust thick.

Well shes like extreme Islam. No one agrees with it except psychopaths or the mentally sick. This is one of the most disliked Ted talks in history, and she should have been pelted off stage with cheeseburgers, closely followed by her flappy disco bingo wings.

@@24yrukdesigner ha

Please what do you mean by that?

Alex Wong good times

This is subtly different, though, this is a TedX talk. Pretty much everyone can do a TedX talk, the bar for entry is much, much lower than a proper Ted talk.

It's true all true

Sorry bro this is TEDx talks not Tedtalks. I can see why people would make that mistake though. Edit: but yes, this is not very scientific and frankly ridiculous.

So discrimination is more important than health? What planet are you from?

Virginbreaker kinda cringe bro

Exactly! she is on the verge of being overweight

Coder boi ok she isn’t thin she is normal lol. And calling thin people anorexic is body shaming lol

She's chubby

@Max Perfect? Look at her cheeks and the flab on her arms. She's overweight.

lol I thought I was the only one who is annoyed

She isn’t even that thin she’s average lmao

@@nevaehanderson5029 she might be a little above

@@nevaehanderson5029 Nah, she a little above average.

In the body positive mouvement, average is thin.

Hey hey hey - you better check your hygienic privilege!

Sounds like you believe in free will, the only problem is there is no good evidence for the type of free will you claim exists. And if you've never met a skinny unhygienic person then I think you've been incredibly lucky.

👏🏻Exactly 👏🏻

FuManBoobs if you can’t will yourself to a gym that sounds a bit less like “evidence of no free will” and more that you just are lazy and give up to easy.

She has probably really really really really just offended all the people suffering with anorexia right now. You know... an actual problem than people who claim to be suffering from McDonalds...

I actually do feel annoyed when people tell me I lost weight when I clearly have not. It feels like they're lying to me. Even though it's positive to let people know that it's a good thing they lost weight, I have lost weight from illnesses before, including stomach issues. It's not a good thing when you lose literally 25 pounds in two weeks or less, even WITH exercise and good dieting.

@@Okalani5000 what you are saying actually really annoys me. You act like being skinny doesn't have it's disadvantages. I am 6'3 and only weigh 65 kilos, which is a bit on the light side. I get told constantly to put on weight and get told to eat more. Every one has a perfect body that they want to achieve but many people don't try hard enough to get there. You shouldn't shift the blame to us about not being fit. Sure genetics don't help but you only bring it on yourself. I eat healthy and go to the gym 3 times a week, don't take that away from me because you don't like the way you look.

@K B "nice haircut" WOT HOW DARE YOU I DID IT FOR MAH SELF

Gary Reid lmfaooooo

Gary Reid lmfaooooo

It’s worth sharing to me

Ironically, that’s what the Middle Ages were like. If you obese during that time period, it meant that you were wealthy and, could afford all of the food you wanted.

only privilege is being able to afford more food than you need. in other words, economical privilege. and that's what these people actually have. first world problems!

Food security doesn’t negate skinny privilege. Nice try

regular youtube account - So what

She's passionate about the subject and clearly also nervous to be speaking in front of so many people

Sage Kampitsis thank you...

@@sagekampitsis6945 what?! no shes not! you crazy? shes out of shape lol... cmon....

@@sagekampitsis6945 I believe she is just nervous and not taking her time while she is speaking.

@@sagekampitsis6945 I'd be nervous too if I were on stage spewing this rubish.

Yes 👏🏻

That's like the whole idea of the left. It is the system at fault not individuals.

Thank you!

Thats probably the reason they stop dealing with it... because they kept growing..... 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

They will grow...around the middle

I ate garlic, which is good for the colon, Ginger, which is good for the stomach, and a couple slices of potato bread. I'm still over 300 pounds. I also ate an apple, a small piece of candy, and a small chocolate ball with nuts in it. Hmm. What are you eating today? Is it the same? If no, why is it any less healthy or more healthy than my diet?

@@Okalani5000 are you also exersising? Unless you have some sort of disorder you can't possibly be going to the gym and eating healthy and still be 300 pounds. Maybe you have started your journey and if that's the case, I hope it goes well. But it sounds like you have been doing this for a while. The thing I don't like about this movement is that heavier people will readily blame anything but themselves. I hear people say 'I eat healthier than you do' but never leave the couch. It's hard to lose weight, but don't complain about a problem you put yourself in in the first place.

@@Okalani5000 Ate whole wheat bread with peanut butter for lunch, oats and a banana for breakfast, broccoli and chicken with rice for dinner. Sunflower seeds sporadically during the day. Drink water and milk throughout the day. I exercise full body 3 times a week for 2 hours. It's not that hard. It's really gratifying to be honest, knowing that you're being healthy.

Okalani5000 if your eating healthy and exercise and still 300 lbs then you have to go to the doctor right away. Because that is almost impossible unless you have a medical disorder and even certain medical disorders don’t make you that overweight. For example I have PCOS, I do gain weight easier and it is harder for me to lose weight. But average weight gain from my disorder is 20-50 lbs at the most. My doctor recommended an anti inflammatory diet to manage my weight and symptoms. I was about 40lbs overweight at the time I started my diet and I knew I was eating the wrong things and overeating as well. Currently i am back at a normal BMI. I have to eat les calories than the average woman and I stay away from gluten, dairy, and processed sugar. If you are honestly consuming the recommended calories and you are active on top of that. Then something medically is seriously wrong.

@@Okalani5000 nah, it's the same... but you ate three times more

I don't know, when it comes to clicks and money, theres no such thing as bad publicity. Lot of sheckels to be made by being the channel people love to hate 🤔

LOUDERRRRR also more power to you 👑

This is sooooo true. I used to get comments in the break room all the time. I had one coworker who made me extremely uncomfortable because she used to explain to other people that the only reason I’m thin is because I don’t eat much. And I don’t really know her that well. Whenever someone came in and made a comment about my weight, she’d jump into the conversation to let others know that I “don’t eat.” And it’s often followed by silence because what do you say after that?

Sptting fax

Yes!

Lmao now you know what we deal with. Stop whining

Same I fell out of my chair

🤣🥲😅😂 lol and really not so. I just finished watching the model who was more compelling.

I now know Ted Talk its not a reliable source, For now on I will investigate what ever they are saying before believing them 👎🏼

@@allebasaiadartse3951 This is a TedX, not a Ted Talk. Ted Talk is where the delusional people go to speak because anybody can be a TedX speaker.

Nah, we will just ignore all the medical warnings here :)

How mean!

It will take probably more than a year to get to normal weight from obese weight though. So 1 year is absolutely cheap, if you are gonna get it freely by year deletion, it should be at least 5 years.

.. this comment is unoriginal, please stop pointing out obvious decisions in her PowerPoint. This kind of commentary is unnecessary ( same is this comment lol )

Is this reverse bullying?

I hear the same things, I feel the same way. And yes, many 'overweight' people too call me names. Now I have started giving people sarcastic and straight forward replies.

100000000000%

She's clearly talking about people within the normal BMI range, not olive oyl.

@@jaishu123 What?

@@AnnaJoyce24 She (the speaker in the video) refers to people within the normal BMI range when she says thin, not people that happen to be underweight (like yourself).

@@jaishu123 I am not even under weight and faced same kind of stuff 😪

Good for you my guy, imma tell you it’s so easy to gain weight, not lose it.

go to McDonalds every day, eat 12 hamburgers a meal, then you can get rid of your Thin Privelege

@@edyburkay That can literally kill you.

lucky

It’s offensive that you are more likely to get hired to jobs?

Yourlocalmemedealer agreed shishtar

What a sweet thought.....it is not what you think, how society treats you. Those who have priveleges are oblivious to them, unless the actively deal with them. She tries to open our eyes.

@@nezanetinaselamta5504 except, you can actually work to become healthy

That’s not a victim mentality. She literally gave stats and everything

She's a normal weight.

@@Okalani5000 She's chubby

Even if they earn it, a lot of them started out thin. Even if they didn’t, it’s an earned privileged. Still a privilege

@regular youtube account Your point?

@regular youtube account You having a heart condition and not being able to gain weight doesn’t change the fact that skinny people in most societies are treated kinder. Whatever point you were trying to make, you failed

@@tia2676 HAHAHAHAHAHAH SO HAVING A HEART CONDITION THAT MAKES YOU UNABLE TO GAIN WEIGHT IS A PRIVILEGE NOW? LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nerves? Racing heart rate from being on stage talking to lots of people?

She burning to much calories

Because she's "thin" lolololololol

She knows she's speaking complete bs, noones buying it, and perhaps she has a live view of the dislikes rising as she's doing the Ted talk.

@@pieandpep9136 Nerves cos shes spewing bs

Or, perhaps, they are told by today's wimpy woke culture chickens that they should be "Fat-N-Proud"? "PlusSized" women/men. LOL Men winning a women's beauty pageant. God help us... please!

LMAO

I was about to agree and then that last sentence

I don't know about that for sure. Lots of poor people are stuck living in food deserts where they end up getting their calories from the convenience store. that's a recipe for disaster.

Having enough money to eat healthy is privileged

​@@tia2676no it really isn't. get a better job then.

Oh sure, like THAT’S super easy to do lol

Who does that?

Well fatshaming doesn't start at 600lb, it starts way much earlier. Try to understand, instead of just trying to sound smart.

Ethio Lina I know. The past two years of my life have been in and out of eating disorder treatment. I know about weight and struggling with what is healthy regardless of society norms. The problem I have is people can almost hide behind the body positivity movement instead of truly living their best life and being healthy enough to do those things.

And "Bingo Wings."

,🤣🤣🤣

Hey Kevin, why do you say that? She is right you know

Tracy Binol no she is not. She is seeming obsessed about weight size and might have an undiagnosed condition of anorexia or OCD.

Kevin Bowman you are delusional and needs to shut up

She doesn't need to shut up you do

@@drsexycoolmeow8126 I appreciate you popping up on every comment🙂🙂

Pretty sure no one is forcing you to do that.

@@dejstoney that's why you don't call that privilege but it's called thermodynamics.

That’s what I’m thinking 😂

You're thinking of TED talks - the TEDx talk bar is very low.

LMFAO same

Damn..

sabage cabage123 uh huh

@sabage cabage123 it indicates a medical problem, get yourself checked out but don't embrace this narrative that will only discourage people to even try to be healthy

snair Amen.

They don't want to hear that. They have the right to eat themselves up to the point of being declared dwarf planets and they expect everyone else to fit the bill. Actually they want everyone to tell them how healthy and beautiful they are.
