Its lucky Tiff only gets diet cokes and saltines from the lunch lady, otherwise she might end up getting something “special” added to her lunch. It is kind of ironic that Tiff blimps up when she gets to Mooney University.
People don’t fat shame because of their deep concern for the health of the individual. If that were true there would be hecklers outside of bars (because of drinking) and people hooting in derision at anorexics like Tiffany. People fat shame because they consider overweight people physically unattractive and it’s a useful justification for cruelty to say it’s all about health concerns. Ironically Tiffany’s reactions here are very much tied to her own eating disorder.
Pretty heavy humor for a Tuesday. Oh, it is always SUCH a great idea to antagonize people who deal with your food. (I know waiters and waitresses – not a great idea.)

Oh, the irony. Tiffany making fat shaming jokes a few scant years (luaan time) before she becomes fat.

I usually do not dislike arcs in the classic series, but this one is quite irritating. Tiffany is not just fat shaming she’s being purposely hurtful.

I see a brick in Tiffany’s future.

Lady you had best never ever go to China. They have even fewer social constraints on laughing at fat people.

I looked ahead in this classic arc.
The Cashier will one-up Tiffany in a big way, (No pun intended) before this arc is over.
And what the Cashier says will not only be true then but it’ll still be true now. :)

The old joke about getting on a talking scale and jt saying, “Two of you gotta get off.”
With that in mind I used to say I was just a 220 pound man carrying around a couple of 110 pound women, like I did when younger and at the beach.
