Also can we PLEASE stop equating weight with health.

I am very skinny and very unhealthy (and shockingly enough, those two things are actually kind of related).

Fatphobia is a blight on this nation.
To underline the ridiculousness of the rampant fatphobia in this country: I weigh about 40kg atm (the plage broke me a bit), and someone actually told me I was "getting fat".

To reiterate: I am a grown man and I weigh 40kg. 88lb. And someone tried to shame me into losing weight.
Plus, if you go onto the literal NHS website and look for advice on how to gain weight, it literally warns you how to gain weight without getting "fat". Like that is in any way helpful for anyone, especially when the page is likely to be visited by people with eating disorders.
