Meet Virgie Tovar — The San Francisco Health Department’s New “Fat Positivity” Consultant

Go to Article

The San Francisco Department of Public Health is putting Californians’ tax dollars to good use…by hiring a so-called “fat positivity” expert as a consultant.

Virgie Tovar is a self-proclaimed “plus-size Latina author, lecturer, and leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity with over a decade of experience,” according to her website.

She’s written several “fat positivity and body acceptance” works, including the book You Have the Right to Remain Fat.

And, now she’s scored her dream job as a consultant for the SF Health Department, where she hopes to make a difference fighting against “weight stigma” and working towards “weight neutrality”…

You couldn’t make it sound more ridiculous if you tried…go ahead, I dare you!

Make Obesity Great Again? I guess?

Fox News has more details on this woke craziness:

The San Francisco Department of Public Health has hired a self-described “anti-weight-based discrimination” expert to consult on “weight stigma and weight neutrality.”

Virgie Tovar, the author of ‘You Have the Right to Remain Fat” and other published works on “fat positivity and body acceptance” announced on her Instagram Monday that she was hired to consult for the department, calling the collaboration an “absolute dream come true.”

“I’m unbelievably proud to serve the city I’ve called home for almost 20 years in this way!” she wrote. “This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health.”

Tovar’s website lists her as a ​”plus-size Latina author, lecturer, and leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity with over a decade of experience.” She is a contributor for Forbes, where she covers stories on the “plus size market.” Her most recent articles include features about hosting a “size inclusive” Thanksgiving and alleged “fatphobia” in current TV shows.

The Daily Caller added:

In the lovely cesspool of San Francisco, it’s time to Make Obesity Great Again.

Never mind the poop and dirty drug needles littering the streets; the San Francisco Department of Health seems to want fat citizens to feel comfortable in their own bodies, to feel accepted by society, to feel like they can live their truth without any fear of judgment. To do so, they apparently hired a fat-shaming expert to work as a consultant — two labels that should send chills down your spine — on “weight stigma” and “weight neutrality” — two buzz phrases as hollow as they are silly.

Virgie Tovar, a self-described “plus-size Latina” and “leading expert on weight-based discrimination,” announced Monday she will work with the city’s health department to achieve the aforementioned “weight neutrality,” which, in my estimation, entails yet another feckless waste of taxpayer dollars for some unbelievably stupid liberal theory.

“I’m UNBELIEVABLY proud to serve the city I’ve called home for almost 20 years in this way! This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health,” Tovar wrote on Instagram.

Should’ve got RFK Jr. instead…
