Thin privilege is being able to buy all types of food in your weekly shop and not have to be concerned with strangers judging you for your purchases.

Each week I buy all our groceries and put all the “junk” food (which is generally for my thin partner) at the start of the counter and ensure that all the fruit and veges are placed at the end. I do this so the junk gets bagged up fast and the customer behind me will be less likely to say something shitty if all they see is veges.

If I do not do this, if I put the veges up front or put the junk food wherever on the counter and am shopping alone (fat phobes are less likely to be assholes to me when I’m with someone thin), without a doubt the customer behind me will make a comment or pull a face and look me up and down.

“Where are your greens?!” -already bagged up you shithead

“That’s a lot of food for one person”- i buy for 2, thanks

“I hope you don’t eat all that in one week”- we might, or we might not. it certainly won’t make a difference to you.

“That’s a lot of bread. You know carbs aren’t that good for you?”- piss off, i love bread. Did you know that diet coke you’re buying is way worse for you?

“I’m just trying to help, Dear. You look like you need it”- i am an independent human being who doesn’t need your passive-aggressive attempt to shame me.

EVERYTHING a fat person does in public is judged negatively. And if we fight back or tell them to mind their own business we become the assholes! I’m so sick of passive aggressive nosy people. Mind your own selves, people!
