Mediocrity, Breastfeeding, and Why I'm a Mean Girl

Big and Beautiful?  Or, Unhealthy and Miserable?
Sucking at life is not fun.  Being fat and unhealthy is not fun.  Ignorance?  That's not fun either.  So, I ask you, why does everyone suck so much?  And why, oh why, is everyone so damned okay with it?

The self esteem movement, this idea that we should love ourselves despite our flaws, has morphed; it has grown and changed before our very eyes into something perverse (not to mention frightening).  Now, it is perfectly acceptable, preferred even, to love oneself because of ones flaws.  Failing grade?  That's okay, as long as you tried!  Fat?  NO! I'm not fat, I'm curvy and proud of it!  Their, there, or they're?  Does it really matter?  

Mediocrity for everyone! Yay!
