This is the next phase in political fat acceptance. The days of justifying our fatness by lying and saying we have a mysterious genetic or metabolic disorder are over. We now freely admit to and embrace what the fat haters would call gluttony. We fatlings are no longer apologists for our size nor our greedy gluttony. We are fat because we eat huge amounts of food and we like it. If you don't like it get used to it because fat people are now the overwhelming majority.

Men, Moobs and Mammograms
Just as sloth and gluttony has become fashionable so has the moob aka the man boob. Massive meaty male mammary glands are fast becoming fashionable. More and more men are flaunting macho melons. Unfortunately the fashion industry has been slow in recognizing the commercial potential of these hefty he man hooters.
Sadly for America, Japan has taken the lead in the development of men's over the shoulder boulder holders. America will be importing men's bras from Japan. Leave it to the resourceful Japanese to recognize the next big thing and beat us to the punch.

Fat men have enjoyed wearing thong panties for many years so why has it taken so long for clothing manufacturers and designers to produce a man bra for the unique man boob?

OK ladies you have seen a whole bunch of greedy gluttons with gynecomastia but now it is time to stop drooling. Proud FA brought up a serious issue, breast cancer in men. I decided to consult a fat friendly doctor for the skinny on boy boob blubber. Here is part of the interview.
Doctor Sizemore on Moobs
Dr Sizemore checking for breast and testicular cancer.
Fat Bastard: Dr. Sizemore, do men get breast cancer
Dr. Sizemore: The answer to your question Fat Bastard is yes. Men make up about two percent of all breast cancer cases, but breast cancer in men is often fatal because the symptoms are ignored.
Men would be wise to do a self-exam when they take a shower. Some men's chests, being flat, will be easier to examine than a woman's chest is. Guys like you Fat Bastard have breasts that are not unlike women's breasts. Soaping your breasts makes them slippery and that helps you feel the details of the tissue better. This is true for women, too, of course.
Fat Bastard: That sounds like fun!
Doctor Sizemore: If you find a lump, you should get a mammogram. I don't think there is a recommendation for routine mammograms for men, but because sadly so few protocols exist, I suggest you do your own extensive literature search.
Fat Bastard: Have you treated many men with breast cancer?
Dr Sizemore: I have had several male patients with breast cancer. I would like to tell you about one in particular.
Fat Bastard: Please do.
Doctor Sizemore: His first symptom was that his left nipple was inverted - it was pulling in. That began to increase and then it became very painful. One night, it hurt so badly that it woke him up. That's when he called my office. I found a lump so I sent him on to a surgeon.
The surgeon said he didn't think he had breast cancer, but he tested him anyway and found out what I had suspected. Eventually he went to a breast specialist to have the tumor removed.
Since this experience, I have run into four or five more cases in Herkimer alone. I don't hear the media talk about male breast cancer though, so I'm hoping to raise awareness.
Fat Bastard: We will be presenting this on Bigger Fatter Blog doctor. We too want to raise awareness. If I told my doctor that I suspected I had breast cancer how would he respond?
Doctor Sizemore: I would expect that many general practitioners would brush you off, send you on your way with some antibiotics.
Since we can't count on the media for accuracy and balanced reporting, I appreciate guys like you Fat Bastard keeping the public informed.
Fat Bastard: Are men with moobs at greater risk for developing breast cancer.
Doctor Sizemore: I really cannot give you a definite yes because the problem has not been thoroughly studied but I can tell you from my own experience that all of the cases of male breast cancer I have observed in my patients obesity was also present. That makes sense for many reasons. For certain cancers like breast cancer there is a link to estrogen. Fat stores more estrogen. There is also evidence in the medical literature that testosterone can prevent breast cancer. Being that fat men tend to have lower testosterone levels and higher estrogen levels then it would follow that they would be more likely to develop breast cancer. Fat also tends to store more carcenogens and fat people tend to eat more processed foods that are low in anti-oxidants. That too can increase the risks for all sorts of cancers. Fat people do develop cancer at a higher rate than lean people so I would have to say that it is reasonable to conclude that fat men are more likely to develop breast cancer than lean men.
Fat Bastard: As the leading voice in the new fat acceptance it is our duty to keep fat guys informed about health issues. Doctor, should men with boobs get mammograms?
Dr Sizemore: Most doctors would say no but they would be wrong. I strongly recommend men with gynecomastia have regular mammograms.

Blog readers,
Breast cancer is another risk of gluttony and obesity. If you find the risk acceptable as we do then be fat and pig out like the glutton that you are. If you don't find that the risks outweigh the pleasures derived from gluttony then don't be fat greedy gormandizer like us. Because this blog is done in the interest of fat people we give you both sides of the story. I encourage our readers to examine their moobs regularly. Being that moobs are pretty much the same as boobs the examination protocols are the same. If you have moobs you should have a yearly mammogram. If your doctor does not schedule you for one find a doctor who will. In the meantime learn how to perform a proper moob self-examination.
At your service,
Fat Bastard and Proud FA, Leaders of the New Fat Acceptance movement.
PS I have asked Teddy Bear for his thoughts on moobs. For those of you who don't know, Teddy Bear is a the world's leading authority on obese anatomy and obese body types ie soma-forms. If you have not read his work on pear and apple shaped bodies please do. It is both highly entertaining and informative. If I may I would like to coin a term for the field of study Dr Gerald "Teddy" Bear has created. I will call it fatanatomy.
EAT LIKE A PIG!

I didn't know guys with man boobs could get breast cancer.
I had no idea that breast cancer rates were so high in men. This article shows how the size acceptance movement has ignored the needs of fat men.
Does anyone know where I can get a man bra? My moobs are huge.
Balltungo,
I have been looking on like for sources to procure a male bra aka bro aka manssiere but so far I have had no luck. If I find source I will post a link.
I am going to contact Bill Fabrey of Ample Stuff to see if he carries them.
There gynecomastia vests that hide the moobs but that is a form of fat hatred. We are looking for bras that enhance and show off moobs.
I wish I had bigger moobs.
I only measure 56 inches around my chest, while I measure 64 inches around my waist and 70 inches around my hips and my thighs are 36 inches around.
I have moobs, but they are not as big as I would like them to be.
Does anybody know how a guy can get bigger moobs.
I thought of taking Estrovin, pills women take after menopause but I'm afraid to mess around with hormone pills.
Here lately I have been gaining mostly on my hips, butt, lower belly below the waist and my thighs, which is nice, but I want bigger moobs.
Hey TB,
If you look at the last picture in the post you will notice that the Japanese guy has suction cups on his moobs. That will probably cause fat to migrate to them. A vacuum is a void and nature abhors a void. Maybe you can get a silicone beef-up for your moobs. My chest has not been right after my last open heart surgery. I don't have much in the way of moobbage.
If you told your doctor hat you had gender dysphoric disorder he may put you on estrogen.
Hey Teddy Bear,
You know what they say, anything over a handful is wasted. I have a D-cup but my late husband was a DD-cup. He was a fat sissy boy just like you. He loved it when I played with his nipples and moobs. All Nancy boys like that. He was to fat for sexual intercourse but he sure had an educated tongue.
That's pretty much how it works Rotunda. Fat guys are not all that good at throwing the dick but when it comes to oral pleasuring a woman I would put a greedy fat gluttony up against a lesbian any day. I can tell you from much personal experience that when it comes to tickling the pickle fat girls are the best.
I am a intern at a major hospital and we recently discussed male mammogram protocol. I stumbled across this blog while researching this subject.
Male mammograms can be used to diagnose cancer, gynecomastia, and other breast problems. Not gynecomastia patients need such X-rays. My boss Dr. Bermant prefers to examine each individual before deciding if mammograms are indicated. Typical reasons that may raise concerns include:
* Firm breast lump
* Enlarging mass
* Nipple discharge
* Nipple changes
* Klinefelter's Syndrome
Thank you for making this public
It would be great to get a man's bra. My moobs bounce around and I get sores underneath them.
I just found your blog and find it irreverant and very informative...yes, I can read between the lines. I was hoping that I could use some information from both the moobs and model posts from July. I have a blog that one would be good for and another that I write for that would be great for the moobs. Of course, I would link and mention you in both posts.
