RE: the force is strong with this one
nah sorry, I disagree with being sensitive to fat people, even if they do have a condition. My partner has PCOS, which has a lot of side effects, one of which is obesity. There are specific diets to aid her condition. She knows she cant eat certain things, she does really well. Unfortunately she'll have to take care of her diet all her life. But she deals with it well and accepts it.
Its actually quite obscene that there are so many fatties in the western world gorging themselves out of pure greed. Especially when there are so many people starving.
I have consistantly been a tubby little bastard ever since I suffered from extreme asthma from birth. Then add to the mix getting a car and being able to drink and eat kebabs in my 20's. I was extremely obese. Made me feel like shit. I didnt mind people knocking me about my weight until one day I realised what a sack of shit I was. I did something about it. Its a long hard ongoing struggle, but its certainly worth it.
The majority of fat people CAN do something about it, but choose not to. Maybe their parents are fat too, and they have an unfair disadvantage. Maybe they have an extremely slow metabolism. So what, you deal with your condition and sort it out. Life isnt fair, and struggle and perserverance is all part of the game. Theres no excuse's for being obese. Its down to laziness and greed. And people should stop pussyfooting around fatties.
If that sounds intolerant and unreasonable, then sorry. But thats they way it is. And remember this is coming from someone who is still overweight and unhappy about it.
