Twitter users slammed an account for tweeting that the term 'obese' is a dehumanizing 'slur' against fat people that should no longer be used.
A"vegan leftist" faced backlash earlier this week after she tweetedTwitter user @hutchleah posted her thoughts on the offensive nature of the term"obese" to Twitter Monday, claiming it was"a slur … used to dehumanize us and harass us."
By Friday afternoon her tweet had been viewed over 2.4 million times and had received thousands of comments and retweets. . According to the WHO, ‘Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. A body mass index over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.’"USA Today opinion columnist Michael Stern found the user’s complaining inconsistent with her Twitter bio, which says"fat vegan leftist."

Used BMW E46 M3 CSL for saleE46 M3 CSL – fabulous low mileage example The M3 CSL can quite reasonably claim to be possibly the greatest M road car ever made. The standard E46 M3 was already a masterpiece of engineering, with near perfect weight distribution, the most powerful normally aspirated engine ‘per cc’ ever made (and winner of multiple awards) and handling to flatter even the most frivolous of drivers. The CSL just crowned it all off. With an amazing 10% weight saving – by the use of carbon fibre panels (roof, valences, engine components, bumpers and interior) – and a centre of gravity downshift – as well as an increase in horse power from 343 to 365, the CSL wrote the book on how to squeeze every drop of goodness from an already supremely accomplished sports coupe. With hindsight, the CSL is easily the high point of BMW Motorsport, before the bean-counters and EU joy vampires finally got their way. With only 422 RHD CSLs produced for the UK market – many of which had a pretty energetic first few years – the number of truly collector quality examples available is probably only now in double figures, and we’ve seen most of them. This particular CSL has been through our workshop this year, and can certainly be said to be one of the very best examples you will find, having spent most of the last decade amongst a fine collection of motorcars, until it arrived in our showroom. Even the most discerning CSL expert will struggle to find fault with this particular CSL, which looks, feels, and drives just like a 16k miles car should. There isn’t much more to be said, other than that, if you’re looking for the best CSL money can buy, you’re probably home safe. For more information on this fabulous machine, or to book a visit, please contact our showroom team
