It really is in EVERYTHING these days, once you start looking for it.
I think that people who have never had trouble taking off weight and have always been healthy think that most people should be like them, more or less. And Hollyweird has the money to fix whatever problems come their way, while the rest of us get the bottom of the barrel in doctoring. And then you add on the Obama Body Mania that's been shoved down our throats for eight years...and it all adds up to the hatefulness you see today. Not that it hasn't been around a long time. Just seems worse lately.
My step-mo is one of those people who has always been thin and has those runner's muscles, and if she wants to lose weight all she has to do is give up cokes, and she thinks it's that easy for everyone.... so we must be super lazy if we can't give up cokes or chips, when the reality is I have to starve myself ...as in having just an apple a day kinda starve in order to lose ANYTHING. I have no desire to do that anymore.
I met my kids' gym teacher the other day and within two minutes she was talking about her weight, just so insecure that someone would say "You can't be a gym teacher because you aren't a size two." When a forty year old woman is still that sensitive you just know it's screwing a lot of people up.

I also think that the villainization of fat people is spilling into the real world and is really not helping, especially with kids. Maybe in a hundred years, we'll have a better handle on it, but there is no treatments for half the disorders out there. Picking on fat people is victimizing people who have already been kicked by their own DNA.
Loved her on Gilmore Girls, but I have never been able to watch John Candy, Chris Farley, Rebel Wilson, or any others in a fat-depricating comedy role, and unfortunately, when I think of them that's about 90% of their careers. Not saying fat people can't do comedy, but does it always have to be so vulturistic??
I can only think of a couple of larger actors and actresses that even do serious roles.
Name some?
Cameryn Manheim
Conchata Ferrell (before 2.5 men)
Quinton Aaron
Louis Anderson
Dom Delouise
In wealthy nations, the wealthy and powerful display good dietary control, appearing thin, while less wealthy seem to suffer added weight. But in poor nations, obesity is a sign of wealth and power, while the impoverished are skin and bones.
Just pretend you are wealthy and powerful.

not "coated with" - it is integral to that, unless the KFC nuggets are really "all breast meat."
When you get to the "deli meat" aisle at your store - look at all the "food" (meat) in that aisle that is not frozen, and not fresh - if it is in a "cooler" then avoid it. you want chicken sandwich, bake a chicken, or pick up a deli-cooked chicken, and cut the meat off and sandwich it over the upcoming days. Same with turkey, beef, etc. Never consume "meat" that is packaged before arriving at your store but is only refrigerated, unless it has a freshness date you know is normal. This includes "deli meat" at sandwich shops - which is "freshly sliced" from a meat wad in the shape that even children know is not the shape of chickens or turkeys.

I picked up chicken tenders at Zaxby's last month (never had them before that) and spent the rest of the *week* in the bathroom.
Silicone or no, McD's nuggets are still digestible in a pinch.
Even things like MILK from fast food places now have artificial flavorings and additives. Sonic's ice cream is mostly LARD. It doesn't even melt!
I used to get Dairy Queens strawberry sundaes once in a while, but they replaced the strawberries with "gelatin and strawberry flavored goo". Steak and Shake gave me a "pink shake" instead of a strawberry shake the other day and I just tossed it. No more of that either.... I may have to start making my own damn ice cream too...
I like to visit a few Hardee's for their ice cream - i can watch them scoop it out of the tub, none of that soft serve garbage.
Also, look at your local convenience stores for F'Real ice cream shakes - it's real ice cream, different flavors, very easy to prep, and they have become much more available in the past decade. I also take in flavors to add to the shake, like coconut puree, strawberry jams, raspberry, blueberry, peach and other jams.

Actually, found a canned beef, chicken and turkey that advertises minimally processed and just lists sea salt and water that we use a lot. They run about $7 a can, so not cheap, but no funky ingredients. Nitrates and carmel colorings and junk in the packaged stuff I agree.
As for Hardee's...half hour away from me. But, yeah, good shakes...
And.... I can't put my head up my @ss that far to pretend to be wealthy and powerful
