An absurd story broke this morning on TMZ, about video footage of Ariana Grande and a boyfriend visiting a Lake Elsinore donut shop. An employee brought out a large tray of donuts and Grande said, “What the fuck is that? I hate Americans…I hate America.” TMZ has called the remark scandalous, “fat shaming on a national scale.” Some believe Grande may have hurt her career. Expressing disgust at obesity and the foods that cause it is, of course, sacrilege in these twisted times. Love America, love the obesity. The latest CDC figures say more than one-third of Americans are obese. And that “non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (47.8%) followed by Hispanics (42.5%), non-Hispanic whites (32.6%), and non-Hispanic Asians (10.8%).” So by all means, throw Grande to the lions and may other celebrities take heed.
