  WW, I respect your opinion, and it is true that by allowing oneself to be overweight you're doing a serious bit of harm to your health .... but sometimes it's not by choice.  A person might have a glandular disorder that makes it utterly impossible for them to eat without gaining weight, even if it's merely celery sticks and water.  Depending on a person's income, it might take a while to get on top of it medically so that they can turn it around  Also, once you are overweight it's difficult to go on that journey to find your way back from obesity, and it takes a lot of support.  Not everybody has the will power to just do it on their own, to just stop eating the bad stuff and only the good or to exercise (also some are too heavy to safely exercise right away, believe it or not ... just jumping in feet first can make conditions worse).  Further, if the people surrounding a larger person are enablers (i.e. always pushing food to them, never encouraging any other good health guidelines, telling them they look just fine, etc.) then that's going to make the process even slower and stickier.  People have to be honest, and not everybody knows how to be honest without fear of 'hurting' somebody even if it could be the one statement that helps them the most.  There are so many factors, so my point in this long comment was just this ... please don't assume that ALL overweight people are ALWAYS like that by choice.  Some might be, and it makes me want to knock them upside the head, but not everybody is.

  Agreed weird. Yet I hope your not discriminative toward them.

  hey Hegemone,
  i dont relate fat to looks, i pretty much relate it to the health messes someone can get in because of it...and i been through that, that's why i hate it...people are pretty callous about their physical well-being until they end up in the misery of bad-health...and that tends to teach a lot of lessons...
  believe me i understand about the problem of staying away from food...i cant do it myself, i love food too much...going hungry is one of those few things which can make me cry...i eat a lot and i am a total lazy bum, i don't believe in exercise altogether, my eternal excuse always been, i will get thinner...but i guess i got it easy also, cause i got a great metabolism which usually burn fat from my brain activity than physical activity...
  i got a sister who has problems with fat...loves to eat, gains weight in a second, and just messes herself up, because she doesn't like to get fat...she tends to spend a lot of time in the gym...and if she cant do it, she gets depressed...
  i don't have any problem with fat people, accept they are messing up with their health, and it is totally not worth it in the end...
  
  WW

  hey Machine420,
  how someone looks is not my excuse for discrimination...so i don't tend to discriminate fat people...
  but i do tend to have a lot of other discriminating excuses... :-)

  Fat people are destroying the economy with their bad health. If you're fat, stop eating in public. We don't want to see it.

  way back when when people where fat it ment u could afford the food to eat. and you showed that off by being fat. but now when u have money it means u can afford to be thin. buying the best foods etc. now in this economy alot of people cant afford the food they should be eating and get what they can afford. sometimes i really hate skinny people.

  I agree kate, some people cant help a little pudge though weird.

• Weird_World said on Jul 22, 2009....

  hey somethingunUsual,
  i am sure you have some basis for your views...what about people like me, who eat a lot, but are not fat??...can we eat in public??
  
  hey katelovesorange44,
  way back when food was a status symbol then life was also more strenuous, not the sedentary life-style which we exist in nowadays...getting thin is not about eating right or eating wrong, it is about combining enough motion to break down the unnecessary calories...i am skinny, you can go ahead and hate me, but i do mean it...fat is unhealthy...not just physically but physiologically also...
  
  hey UnicornForm,
  i don't mean about fat as in slightly fat or just over-weight...i mean people who get fat enough to mess up with their health...and i still don't think its right...
