"A Tad Defensive"

I don't mean to pick on Anonymous Commenter #753, but this article may be an eye-opener to those who think fat prejudice is mostly in our own heads.

"[W]eight-sensitive evaluators 'felt disdain, but couldn't put a label on it.' Their prejudice revealed itself instead in a gut-level reaction--as if some inner voice said, 'This person's fat. I don't like her,' These subjects had a hard time explaining why they thought heavier applicants were unfit for the job."
