I see both questions and answers here that say horrible things like fat people should be banned from restaurants and we should take away their cars so they can get more exercise. I see a lot of hate and downright cruel words spewing from people's mouths about fellow human beings who already feel bad about how they look and the physical difficulties associated with being overweight. No one wants to be fat and it's a constant struggle for them without people making them feel worse for it.
If some of these things were said about a person's race or religion, more people would be outraged. What makes people feel it's ok to bash someone for another's difficulties with food and why is it more tolerable than other kinds of discrimination?
I want real, serious answers please.

One other thing I thought of...I hardly see people joking about alcoholism, so what's the difference? Overeating is an addiction to food.

no it is not anymore acceptable in my eyes than any other form of "racism". When folks like yourself stand up more often and say that it's not okay with them, it does cut down on the hate in the world.
My mother made fun of overweight people when we were growing up, and the worst part about it was that she didn't know my sister was in the bathroom puking all the time. My sister is just a big girl, not any less beautiful than anyone else, she just has big genes.

Dave, you're a sweet pal for being so smooth to the way human beings manage your pal. i recognize what you propose about some heavy human beings being very pleasing. I trust you completely about wanting to learn to hate or be prejudiced hostile to mum and dad for inspite of reason. I favor there became a fashion to demonstrate those who being heavy isn't a negative difficulty. i'm hoping your pal isn't questioning he will be rejected by anybody else who comes a lengthy. some human beings see the attractiveness inspite of if others do not. I favor there have been extra human beings like you Dave, the international should be a happier position without a lot hatred.

Don't take that class!There are greater causes in life than to worry about what people on the internet say about fat people.It would be nice if we were all perfect.If you have a weight issue that's something a person works on over a period of time.It does not mean that a person will always be fat.Ignore hollow coments on-line.

With all the diversity in the world, where should we draw the line? At this point we may as well persecute everybody. Or, we could all just freakin relax for once!!

Yes, it is discrimination... some people downplay it like it is isn't really a form of discrimination, but I have friends that know that that isn't true...
