Microaggresions: You don't need any dessert

I'm subscribed to the site Microaggressions.com which is a website of examples of where prejudice is shoved in peoples faces guised in a wrapper of 'it's no big deal'. It's pretty powerful reading, especially as most of the entries are only a sentence long. It shows that while we have come a long way as a society, there is still a lot more space for us to grow.

A recent fat-based microaggression particularly hit my nerve:

“You don’t need any dessert. You could live off your body fat for three months.”

My grandma after dinner. My parents just sat there silently. Made me feel like crying.

I wonder if this person has the same grandmother as me.

Hope you are all doing well, I miss you guys - apologies for the lack of blogging as always, though you are constantly in my thoughts and in my heart.
