Do you guys think fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:11.820
So do you guys think fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:20.280
Do you think that fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:23.380
For me personally, it motivated me to lose weight.
00:00:27.140
I think it was a great thing for me, and I'm very thankful for it.
00:00:32.760
So I, you didn't interrupt me, so you get to go first.
00:00:38.200
So I can remember some years ago where my mother tapped me on my shoulder,
00:00:45.020
and she said, Pam, you're just a little bit too big.
00:00:51.760
And at the time, I can remember feeling like, oh, I felt really sad.
00:01:00.820
And it was shortly after I'd had, I think, my third baby.
00:01:11.040
And looking back now, at the time, I was quite offended by that.
00:01:15.780
What are those habits, if you don't mind me asking?
00:01:17.240
So just the eating of lots of chocolate, I had a sweet tooth.
00:01:23.320
And also, there was chocolates, and there was gato cakes.
00:01:28.380
And there was, I used to have, when I was a kid, I used to have club biscuits underneath my pillow.
00:01:32.220
And whenever I was in a particular type of mood, because it has, it's catch-22, because you need the sugar.
00:01:44.500
So therefore, I had, there was, we didn't have a variation of foods around.
00:01:53.060
And so for me, it was, for me to be able to have the sweets, whatever it was I was getting,
00:02:03.220
So when my mum, who was the first person to come and say to me, Pam, you're a little bit too big.
00:02:10.280
You know, because even the father of my children, he used to bring me chocolates.
00:02:23.400
So even now, even though I've had a tummy tuck and I've had lipo, if I'm feeling a particular way,
00:02:29.140
there are times when I will, you know, I wouldn't so much get the ferro roche,
00:02:32.900
but I might have a healthier chocolate or, you know, a dark chocolate perhaps,
00:02:39.960
And I think that now we can still have those types of behaviours.
00:02:48.020
Even when you, you know, you might look good, but again, are you healthy?
00:03:01.040
I know you've never done cocaine, Pearl, but I've been to Columbia a couple times.
00:03:08.280
They're like, it's crazy how addictive sugar is.
00:03:14.340
And it's honestly, in the United States, sugar's in everything.
00:03:18.660
It's in, you know, it's in bread in the States.
00:03:23.380
There's sugar in every single thing in the States.
00:03:26.540
And that's the main reason why so many people are fat in the States.
00:03:36.600
And they have fucking salad dressing that has sugar and all these seed oils in it.
00:03:40.680
So we're living in this, like, kind of contaminant world.
00:03:43.980
But there's a lot of people making these breakthroughs and coming through and understanding, like, the fundamentals of nutritional science and putting it into food.
00:03:52.600
You know, but, like, the average person is just so poorly uneducated.
00:04:03.560
The food pyramid said you needed to eat six to 11 servings of bread or rice a day.
00:04:16.000
It's your responsibility to educate yourself on nutrition.
00:04:25.420
Years ago I did, but when I got really fat, when I told you, when I went vegan, I started looking at what is in the food and the ingredients.
00:04:37.780
But now that we have social media, it's become a lot easier.
00:04:40.400
But if you think about years ago, we didn't have this.
00:04:46.300
You know, now ketchup is considered a fruit in the food pyramid of the United States.
00:04:56.800
If it was from a sugar cane, if it was from a fruit, it's natural sugar.
00:05:08.120
I mean, when I was a kid, I was also a chunky kid.
00:05:11.320
I lost the weight when I started sports, but the habits continued.
00:05:16.740
And I know how to make really good cookies from scratch.
00:05:20.700
And it's with all natural stuff because you're making it from scratch.
00:05:28.120
I used to eat like half of the cookie dough when I was a kid.
00:05:31.240
And like the American diet, like the mainstream American diet is just so unfortunately unhealthy.
00:05:38.400
Like, you know, do you know which country has the lowest obesity rate in the world?
00:05:54.160
And if you ever go to Vietnam, if you eat there, it's like, first of all, if you ever
00:05:57.960
go to Vietnam, it's just like a giant, it's like a small city in a jungle.
00:06:09.180
You know, Vietnam has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world, too.
00:06:19.160
And I used to have a boy called Li Nam when I was in primary school as well.
00:06:24.400
So, like, you know, the food, when you eat there, too.
00:06:26.480
And I've noticed this because, you know, I travel a lot.
00:06:30.540
But honestly, every time I go back to America and I start eating American food, I get, like,
00:06:44.060
Because, obviously, I've grown up on processed food.
00:06:46.940
I've grown up with meat, you know, and, you know, fish and all that kind of thing.
00:06:51.960
So, when I go back to eating those kind of foods, it does.
00:06:59.860
I went to, I just went to the United States and every time I go back to America, I just
00:07:09.900
I eat, like, the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich or I eat the, or the breakfast biscuit or whatever.
00:07:14.460
And then my stomach, I look like I'm three months pregnant.
00:07:23.280
If I do eat something and I am bloated, I have a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,
00:07:26.560
a, a, a waist trainer that I wear and I'm not, I'm not joking.
00:07:31.940
If I, if I know I want to eat something, my waist trainer is in my bag.
00:07:38.720
Let's, yeah, let's, let's explore what, what, what waist trainers do for people and to people, right?
00:07:45.580
Because waist trainers, you know, they used to be used for posture correction and you have,
00:07:50.140
like, you know, post-surgery garments like Farhad.
00:07:53.280
But if you are just putting on a waist trainer and let's say you're wearing it for extended periods of time
00:07:58.420
because you're super committed to having a snatched waist, what is that doing to your organs?
00:08:06.360
You know, honestly, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I've been wearing it for five years.
00:08:12.140
I just can't see waist trainers being as big of a problem as obesity.
00:08:18.940
No, and I'm saying I think that's why we focus on obesity a lot more is because it's just a way bigger problem.
00:08:26.300
I'm so tired of the UK clowning on America for being overweight.
00:08:29.860
Because I looked up the stats and it's not that different.
00:08:38.800
It's like, okay, I think we're like 70% overweight and you guys are like 60.
00:08:46.480
But I don't, I think they're in the hillbilly sides of England.
00:08:52.860
I was expecting to see a bunch of fatties here.
00:08:57.880
I think it's because everybody's walking all the time here.
00:09:05.060
Like, I was driving, like, I drove everywhere in Australia.
00:09:12.280
And I wasn't, I didn't change my diet, nothing.
00:09:38.160
Because I, I like, I trolled chats once in a while.
00:09:40.540
And there was a, there was a girl that was on, there was a girl that was on a show.
00:09:47.340
But, you know, she was, I mean, objectively speaking, she was a little bit on the chubbier side.
00:09:56.500
And then I wrote, she's, she's about 40 pounds too heavy for me.
00:10:02.660
And she was really, really, really, really upset that I said this.
00:10:09.280
And the reality is, though, like, if you look at her, like, her weight is still what it is.
00:10:22.960
You know, it's like, so I went to America and basically a girl got angry because I said she was a little heavier than I preferred for my sexual preference.
00:10:34.480
I think women were, I think, I've been offended by that, though.
00:10:45.400
I think it's women were too soft and we need to get thicker skin.
00:10:48.560
And especially if he's making fun of something that you can change.
00:10:54.580
And until we stop doing that, until we stop doing that, we have no right to tell men what they can and can't prefer.
00:11:06.460
Because basically, I went to America and a fat girl got mad at me because she was fat.
00:11:14.200
Because if there was no truth in that, you wouldn't have been as angry as she was.
00:11:24.300
Because a fat person will not get angry if you don't.
00:11:32.900
And the other thing I don't understand is, like, celebrities like Lizzo will lead with their weight.
00:11:40.160
And that's what she's leading with because she's in these super scantily, like, she's wearing basically nothing.
00:11:47.860
And then she gets mad when people comment on her weight.
00:11:51.800
Nobody commented on it because she didn't lead with it until she lost it.
00:11:56.740
And then they said that she might have not been well when she lost the weight.
00:12:14.040
And even Lizzo, she wore, like, a thong to a basketball game with kids.
00:12:22.440
If you look at her Instagram, she knows kids follow her.
00:12:28.920
And it's like if an Instagram model leads with her body and men call her a slut.
00:12:37.980
Like, if an Instagram, even a thin one, it's like an Instagram model.
00:12:41.500
She's wearing nothing and then people call her a slut.
00:12:46.120
So, I'm sitting here, I'm wearing, I don't know what this is called, but it doesn't have.
