Fitness Mom Maria Kang has made enemies over her remarks against obesity.
www.foxnews.com/health/2013/11/27/fit-mom-maria-kang-banned-from-facebook-over-obesity-comments/ QUOTE:Fit mom Maria Kang banned from Facebook over obesity commentsNov. 7, 2013 Fit mom Maria Kang has been caught in another media firestorm. The mother of three was temporarily banned from Facebook after comments she made about obesity went viral, News 10 reported. After seeing an article in the Daily Mail about obese and plus-sized women posing in lingerie, Kang took to Facebook to express her opinions about the photos. "The popular and unrelenting support received to those who are borderline obese (not just 30 to 40 lbs overweight) frustrates me as a fitness advocate who intimately understands how poor health negatively effects a family, a community and a nation," Kang wrote, according to News 10. According to Kang, her post was taken down within three hours of going viral. Facebook then shut down her account, saying her words constituted “hate speech.” Kang originally drew criticism in October after she posted a photo of herself showing off her toned physique while surrounded by her three children. The caption of the photo read, “What’s your excuse?” Many viewers took offense to the message, saying it was an attack on overweight people. Kang’s Facebook account has since been restored, but her original post was removed. In a statement to News 10, Facebook said the account removal was a mistake: "A user reported content on her page, and it was mistakenly removed by Facebook. When we realized the error we corrected it immediately, and restored full access to Ms Kang. We apologize for the inconvenience." After regaining access to her Facebook account, Kang wrote a post titled, “Sorry but not sorry,” in which she said she felt misunderstood.

To be fair, skinny does not always mean healthy. Why the need to judge?

Absolutely; I have an in-law who is obsessed with the idea that she is overweight even though everyone keeps telling her she's underweight.
But obviously it's a case of moderation in all things!
Thanks for a great post, Apple!

What happened to free speech? Hi Gibby, I was brought up to believe that if you haven't anything nice to say to a person, then it is better to be silent. Would you say something to hurt your nearest and dearest? Because people are strangers, sometimes we tend to be very critical and use the excuse, 'free speech'

Would you say something to hurt your nearest and dearest? Because people are strangers, sometimes we tend to be very critical and use the excuse, 'free speech' I've also greatly appreciated people who were bluntly honest with me and or gave me some constructive criticism. Not that they were always right, but they helped me much much more in life than those who would be silent when I was making a mistake repeatedly because they didn't want to hurt my feelings.

Hi Anna, I am a person who also likes to know the truth, we all make mistakes and some of the mistakes are pretty trivial and not important enough to comment on, but you will always find someone ready to be critical in order to embarrass you. I think there is a difference

I think there is a difference If someone says something about me in public that is very different than telling me something in private. I actually usually get along very well with strict, disciplined people who criticise me in the hope of making me a better person. I can always learn. I'm usually a good influence on people who are overly strict too. The Ennegram type 1 personality. I can help them loosen up a bit.
