As an overweight person, I don't think it's controversial. You'll also accrue personal and professional benefits from being a tall man and/or good-looking.
However, "fat people have no self-control" is still fatphobia and ignores the interplay of genetic, metabolic, physiological, cultural, socio-economic, and environmental factors that contribute to obesity. There are countless fat people who are incredibly smart and hard-working, and have exquisite discipline in most areas of their life.
First of all, I really find this term to be gross. You should be afraid of being unhealthy.
Second of all, are you posting that you have individual metabolic differences that substantially alter your caloric expenditure?
FYI most studies show very little innate caloric expenditure differences between human beings outside of what can be predicted based on their body mass. Ironically, heavier people burn more calories, not less, innately.
This makes sense because metabolic machinery is complex and so fundamental to life that it would obviously be very tightly tuned genetically.
Lodge a complaint with dictionaries, I guess? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/fatph...
You can't agree with "you will accrue personal and professional benefits from not being fat" and then pretend fat-scrimination (is that better?) doesn't exist.
Also, using heuristics to make judgments about situations is how intelligence works.
Being fat is bad. Being a normal weight is better in every metric
The quality of life improvement from not being obese is obscene.
Also, I prefer to associate with people who are not fat. Is that a bad thing?
I remember interviewing when I was chubbier post-COVID thinking that the only evidence the interviewer has of my self-control and drive is that I have none. Best case scenario, you are interviewing a temporarily embarrassed skinny person.
Noble prize winner James Watson, famous bluntly tell it like it is-er, said he didn't hire fat people for this reason.
(This has since been rectified by reinstating strength training and dietary controls, which I recommend.)
