If I see a really overwieght person eating Ice Cream, I'm like shame on you.
If I see an attractive girl or, a moderatly fit person eating ice cream I then get a craving for a lil Butter pecan.
Do you do this? If so do you know why?
P.S. I know this is a politically incorrect question, I don't judge people I'm just explaning a small thought process so save your condemnation/and finger waving for when you happen to walk past our current president one day.

Okay, I read a great theory once...
People laugh or get mad at overweight people because those that are not overweight live by 'rules' not to indulge too much and have some self restraint, and these people seem to flout the rules. So, if you like, it's a form of disgust and maybe deep jealousy (therefore anger) that they allow themselves this freedom.
As you said, you really want the ice cream! So if an attractive girl is eating ice cream she is subconsciously showing you that you can eat ice cream and still be attractive therefore it's 'okay' and you want it.
According to the theory, if you see an anorexic person, although it is an extreme attitude to food like the fat person, there is no anger or teasing, because she has been following the 'rules' to the extreme that we have to follow (ie denial)... so there's usually a kind of awe and unconscious respect.
You should be able to ask a question like this, it's honest and therefore not up to judgement.

It probably has something to do with the fact that maybe YOU don't want to end up looking like the overweight person who has obviously had one too many ice creams in his or her lifetime. Whereas you probably understand that the fit person is merely having a 'once in a blue moon' treat. The fit person probably does not eat ice cream all the time.

It doesn't bother me to see an obese person eating ice cream or do I get a craving for ice cream if I see something tasty eating it. Now if your talking about eating a hot dog now that is another story lol (joking)

i was at this nice buffet (oxymoron, i know) at a resort last weekend, and at the dessert counter, there was this family that was extremely overweight, and every member got at least 4-5 different desserts. it really disgusted me, and almost makes me not have respect for them because they have no self control and are teaching their kids SUCH bad habits, like borderline abuse. thats so unfair to the kids, its downright mean. it actually really ticked me off. but yes, if i see a pretty fit person eating ice cream, i think good for them! its probably a reward for all their hard work to look good :)

I don't do that....I don't really care what other people eat. That overweight woman probably shouldn't be eating that ice cream but that is for her to decide. I'm sure other people do what you do too....I mean as long as you aren't giving her dirty looks or comments then it is no big deal.

Because the overweight person eating it makes us realize how unhealthy it is. The slim girl makes us crave it
