Someone on this message board equated making fun of fat people with racism, sexism, or homophobia.
No, no, NO! With racism--first of all, being any given race is not a bad thing. Second, no one chooses their race.
But, no one can honestly disagree that being overweight is bad.
By very definition of the word, this person is OVERweight.
It looks terrible, and it's unhealthy.
And yes, with very few exceptions, if you're fat, it IS your fault. People with some rare glandular problem may be powerless to avoid obesity, but 99% of fat people ARE fat because they have a disgusting, undisciplined diet and they get little or no exercise.
Fact.
If you are fat and you drastically alter your diet (cut out the junk food, for a start) and exercise even moderately (and no, taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work is NOT exercise!), you WILL lose weight. Fact. Simple fact.
I think it is okay to make fun of fat people--maybe it'll motivate them to lose this disgusting flab!
