Sometimes when we’re excited about something, we tend to go overboard. For example, when we think it’s genius to wrap everything in (kosher) bacon, or to put a chicken patty between two glazed doughnuts. Such is true in this week’s Torah portion. Sometimes, you just have to call it quits. Because the more you give, the more you put in, the less you’ll get out.
Big thanks to this blog for the awesomely gross photos.

It was upsetting to see such blatant fat-shaming on the front page on this great blog. I understand that there is a larger point, but it’s buried under a dictation about a person’s body, health, and diet. Even supporting a site called “This is Why You’re Fat” is really shameful. It perpetuates the (wrongful) stereotype that fat people are gluttonous and unhealthy.

Hey Ingid, sorry to upset you. The blog that we pulled those images from is called “This Is Why You’re Fat”. Due to Creative Commons Licensing issues, we have to give them credit, and unfortunately, since that is their name, that’s the name we have to reference. Did a little editing to make it less harsh. Hope that helps you to feel better.
