This could just be a brilliant satire, but I don't think it is. From what I gather, in West Hollywood, there are stickers on the parking meters reminding drivers that they don't have to "feed" the meter on certain holidays. According to this woman, it's disgusting that the city is promoting diet culture. "Don't feed me on the following holidays" is fat-phobic.

It's impossible to figure out what will offend someone next. I know that there's a "body positivity" movement out there in which you're supposed to take pride in being obese.

She appears to be dead serious. If this is just a skit, well done.

The graphic I chose to go with this post — the obese woman doing yoga — comes from the cover of Cosmopolitan. "This is healthy," they declare. It's not healthy. I'm not obese, but I could stand to lose a few pounds. I guess I'm caught up in diet culture.

She tells the city that this is a problem. It's not a problem. Depending on how woke the city council is, they just might scrape off all of the stickers and replace them with something less fat-phobic.
