\u2013 Andrea ist gerade in Br\u00fcssel und hat unter anderem das Comicmuseum besichtigt<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u2013 Jens zeigt<\/a> ein beeindruckendes Battlestar-Galactica<\/em>-Video, das sich von Beastie Boys’ Sabotage<\/em> hat inspirieren lassen.<\/p>\n \u2013 Franzi erw\u00e4hnt<\/a> den wunderbaren Trololo-Mann und eine noch wunderbarere Parodie, die Christoph Waltz f\u00fcr Jimmy Kimmel eingespielt hat.<\/p>\n \u2013 Isa \u00fcbersetzt<\/a> gerade Jonathan Safran Foers Eating Animals<\/a><\/em>, \u00fcber das Natalie Portman im letzten Jahr in der Huffington Post<\/em> geschrieben<\/a> und dabei einen sehr ungl\u00fccklichen Vergleich gezogen hat:<\/p>\n “I say that Foer’s ethical charge against animal eating is brave because not only is it unpopular, it has also been characterized as unmanly, inconsiderate, and juvenile. But he reminds us that being a man, and a human, takes more thought than just “This is tasty, and that’s why I do it.” He posits that consideration, as promoted by Michael Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemma<\/em>, which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don’t believe in rape, but if it’s what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n was ihr eine Menge Flak eingebracht<\/a> hat, zum Beispiel von Salon<\/em>s Broadsheet:<\/p>\n “Any other belief?<\/em> Really? That\u2019s a stretch in and of itself. But to go the extra mile and equate pleasing one\u2019s hosts with a \u201cso be it\u201d attitude toward the kind of violent assault that a 15-year-old girl endured<\/a> at her high school dance last weekend, the sexual abuse that women and men and children endure every day in their homes and schools and prisons, is so flat-out offensive that to even dignify it with a rebuttal would be like shooting and consuming delicious fish in a barrel. But we’ll mention that if you really don’t believe in rape, maybe you shouldn’t make movies with rapists<\/a>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ein Link, \u00fcber den ich mich \u00fcberhaupt nicht freue: For Obese People, Prejudice in Plain Sight<\/a><\/em>, via giardino<\/a>s Gezwitscher<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Over the last few years, fat people have become scapegoats for all manner of cultural ills. \u201cThere\u2019s an atmosphere now where it\u2019s O.K. to blame everything on weight,\u201d said Dr. Linda Bacon, a nutrition researcher and the author of \u201cHealth at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight\u201d (Benbella, 2008). \u201cIf we\u2019re worried about climate change, someone comes out with an article about how heavier people weigh more, so they require more fuel, and they blame the climate change crisis on fatter people. We have this strong belief system that it\u2019s their fault, that it\u2019s all about gluttony or lack of exercise.\u201d (…)<\/p>\n Despite the abundance of research showing that most people are unable to make significant long-term changes in their weight, it\u2019s clear that doctors tend to view obesity as a matter of personal responsibility. Perhaps they see shame and stigma as a health care strategy.<\/p>\n If so, is it working? Not very well. Many fat people sidestep such judgments by simply avoiding doctor visits, whether for routine checkups, preventive screenings or urgent health problems.<\/p>\n Indeed, Dr. Peter A. Muennig, an assistant professor of health policy at Columbia, says stigma can do more than keep fat people from the doctor: it can actually make them sick. \u201cStigma and prejudice are intensely stressful,\u201d he explained. \u201cStress puts the body on full alert, which gets the blood pressure up, the sugar up, everything you need to fight or flee the predator.\u201d<\/p>\n Over time, such chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes and other medical ills, many of them (surprise!) associated with obesity. In studies, Dr. Muennig has found that women who say they feel they are too heavy suffer more mental and physical illness than women who say they feel fine about their size \u2013 no matter what they weigh.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Links, \u00fcber die ich mich seit Tagen freue: \u2013 Andrea ist gerade in Br\u00fcssel und hat unter anderem das Comicmuseum besichtigt. \u2013 Jens zeigt ein beeindruckendes Battlestar-Galactica-Video, das sich von Beastie Boys’ Sabotage hat inspirieren lassen. \u2013 Franzi erw\u00e4hnt den wunderbaren Trololo-Mann und eine noch wunderbarere Parodie, die Christoph Waltz f\u00fcr Jimmy Kimmel eingespielt hat.
