On Saturday afternoon I switched over to the Disney channel for some easy watching. I was horrified while watching an episode of Good Luck Charlie (Sun Down Part 2). The mother was wearing a fat suit and was under a bad curse, as if that message was not bad enough to send out to children it continued by having the family jump around her in a circle chanting “big and gross”
I was really surprised writers would even risk putting something like that into their show. I felt it was teaching children that bigger people should be made fun of and it’s something disgusting or in their terms a “curse.” I work with children and see this type of attitude all the time…. It’s heart breaking watching one child been picked on and excluded from fellow peers. Bring back the Raven days when healthy body self esteem was apart of shows.
