Oregon State University will offer a spring course on “fat studies” in order to teach students how “weight-based oppression” is a “social justice issue.”
According to a syllabus for the course obtained by Campus Reform, students will examine “body weight, shape, and size as an area of human difference subject to privilege and discrimination that intersects with other systems of oppression based on gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation, and ability.

Actually, they have a point. Different cultures throughout different points in history have had different valuations of body size and fat percentage in people. We happen to currently live in a culture that values thin, almost anorexic bodies, but it is purely cultural.
