Athletic Mother of Three Under Fire for Posting This Picture: Do You Think There's Anything Wrong With It?Liz Klimas The Blaze October 13, 2013 While she might not look it, Maria Kang has three children between the ages of 1 and 4.
Though proud of her physique, this self-proclaimed "no-excuse mom" is being accused of "fat-shaming" after she posted a photo on Facebook showing her toned body with her three boys and asking, "What's your excuse?"
The photo was posted last year with Kang asking people to share her message, but some didn't take too kindly to it. OK. WTF is fat-shaming?

Fat shaming is shaming people for not having perfect bodies, or for being overweight, whether it's just a little bit or a large amount.

I know. I was being facetious. I just couldn't believe there was a term for it.

I thought you were just big-boned... 
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

"Athletic Mother of Three Under Fire for Posting This Picture: Do You Think There's Anything Wrong With It?" Yes: a) she is wearing too much, b) she's exploiting her kids.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I don't know who made up the term Golem. I think it's ridiculous. I'm not exactly svelte myself and I'm not complaining.
