Food-shaming happens all year long, but the holidays often mean parties and gatherings around food, which can make it a food-shamer’s paradise. So Jeanette DePatie and I created a little holiday song (to the tune of Up On The Housetop) to help people tell food-shamers that they can either mind their own business, or find someplace else to be.
This is part of a series of re-vamped holiday songs (you can see them all here!) We’ll be releasing more until the new year, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel to make sure you don’t miss them!

“Looks at my plate and then looks at me
makes a fat joke and then slaps his knee’
Ah, yes, the ol’ Potshot of Plausible Deniability. Make it obvious to the person you are fat-shaming that you are fat-shaming them, but be vague enough people who don’t have to deal with fat-shaming all the time might not recognize it, or might at least be too unsure whether or not you “really meant it like that” to call you on it.
Another fun song!
