Bucks for big-boned ideas: ‘Fat rights’ guru aims to supersize San Fran’s health policies
Self-professed “anti-weight-based discrimination expert” Virgie Tovar will gobble up taxpayer dollars to force-feed San Francisco “weight neutrality” - which she hopes will be “the future of health care.”
She once battled anorexia as a youth, admitting to “disordered eating” before rejecting doctors’ advice and growing to her current size - ultimately penning the book, “You Have the Right to Remain Fat.”
Look on the plus size: San Francisco going chubby might finally put the squeeze on avocado toast-loving vegans.

Which actually means we’re waiting to see what Trump and China do?
