This is why when people say, “Australia is the fattest nation on earth” I chortle in their faces.
Salient bit: “The World Health Organization (O’Hara, 2006) data on “obesity” in adults indicate that the United States ranks twentieth, Australia thirty-fifth, and Canada thirty-seventh in global rates of “obesity”.” (The Fat Studies Reader by Sandra Solovay and Esther Rothblum, p 1.)
Getting your “facts” from a morning television advertorial is not acceptable and bloody lazy. Those people are trying to SELL shit to you.
This is true, when I went to Vanuatu there are a lot of women who were way larger than me - and they were happy! The men aren’t really fat but if I had to work hard every day in that tropical heat I’d be thin too…and they like they’re women curvy (and fertile but let’s not go there…)
I’d love to live in Samoa or Vanuatu…

straight up, mine is an info desk, making me INFO DESK GIRL. this is stunningly accurate. so far today, i have provided info on how to do problem #2 on the econ problem set, the immense costs of working for low-income folks (childcare and transportation, chiefly), the number of ski lifts currently open at mammoth, the definition of chondromalacia, directions to the health center, a description of what an institutional researcher does, and surely 10 other things i can’t remember right now.
info gathering, organizing, and transmitting is ALL I DO.
I am WINDOW BOY. I will defenestrate you for great justice!GREAT JUSTICE.

h/t to haterina for pointing out that as this meme stands it is kind of grossly binarist. So if you want to disregard the man/boy/woman/girl part, that makes tons and tons of sense.
WATER BOTTLE WOMAN.
BECAUSE HYDRATION MATTERS.
This is also kind of apt. I’ve become a hydration fiend in the past few years. And I have a Sigg water bottle that I’m basically in love with.
