Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i imagine the 'health at any size' people agree that an overweight pet that is still medically and physically apt is all right. unlike us, pets generally have a smaller margin between a good weight and obesity, and their happiness depends much more on physical activities than does ours - as soon as a pet exceeds a certain weight, either it stops being all that healthy, or the additional weight encumbers some of its physical activities and therefore its overall happiness. a dog that derives most of its happiness from guarding its territory or playing with the master won't be happy anymore once it's too fat to properly run around.

i feel you, anon. i have a pet with allergies, so i can't avoid getting him hypoallergenic dry food, but i sure as hell wish i could.

yeah, if I have a roly poly cat that's still physically active, running around, climbing on stuff, etc., I'd want to keep an eye out to make sure it didn't get too much fatter, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make sure it loses weight – that just seems like it'd be a pain in the ass for both me and the cat. If it's fat but still active then I don't think there's anything to worry about, unless it was the result of a sudden change in weight.
