Fat Sex Therapist Says Putting Children On a Diet is Like Sexually Assaulting Them

I know it’s 2019 and everyone wants to go to extremes, but there has to be something in-between mean spirited fat shaming and people telling you that it’s great that they look like candidates for “My 600-lb Life.”

What about something saner, more in the middle like acknowledging that those of us that are overweight have health risks and being encouraging when we take positive steps in the right direction? It seems like a good way to handle it, right?

Because as obnoxious as fat shaming is, claiming that being fat doesn’t produce health risks and adverse reactions from other people is as ignorant as saying that the earth is flat. The woman in question here looks like the little girl from Willie Wonka after she blows up like a blueberry; yet she militantly claims that’s not bad for her. Why would any college that cares about the well being of its students allow a guest speaker to preach this kind of insanity on their campus?

I truly believe that a child cannot consent to being on a diet the same way a child cannot consent to having sex,” Sonalee Rashatwar, whose Instagram username is “The Fat Sex Therapist,” proclaimed Thursday from the main stage of St. Olaf College.
