It could be due to a health condition or they could just eat too much. How would you know?

maybe some do it because they are afraid they themself will get that fat...
I find it is mostly teenage boys.... they sometimes "Moo" at me.
I don't let it get me down. I do try to diet andexercise and I have medical condition but people who don't know you don't know that.
Some people make fun of others so they can feel they are 'better than'.... I find it to be an indicator of gross imaturity.and insecurity.

This is really a tough one to answer, but here goes. Well I think its a weird thing us humans do. We like to pick apart eachother. So what you're actually seeing is 1.) People who are glad their not fat, so they make fun of overweight people. 2.) They are trying to showoff. 3.) Basically there is an unexplained reason behind the act of teasing. So just accept that their are people in this world of ours that are going to do that. Also remember to be nice when the people around you are being mean to a person. Don't join in and then the next day say I didnt do that. Thats going to make you two faced.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that ignore the comments people make on other peoples aspects. It's life.

Because it's not appealing. It's just the truth. Who knows why, but it's developed in our minds that being fat is wrong and gross. So naturaly since it's "differnet" people make fun of over weight people. Especially young children. Over weight young children have a horrile time, and it's not there fault there like that. It could be genes, or they easily gain weight.
Although many, many people DO eat more than they should and the gain alot of weight. I think there the people that should realise what there doing to there body, and they should realise there are children in some countries who eat as much as an overweight person eats in a day . . . in one year.
But we don't know who is overweight because of a condition or because of selfishness. No one but those people who are overweight know for sure.

People make fun of overweight people because they are sucked in by the image of what people are supposed to look like according to things such as Television , Movies , Magazines, etc. Also in some people it fills a certain void inside themselves such as insecurities about their own weight, their social status, or their own depression.

Everyone has flaws. Being fat is readily visible, so it's an easy target.
When a person is fat it is usually his or her own fault due to overeating and lack of exercise. However, many people make their own problems. If I ever meet someone whose problems are entirely out of their own control, that person has my permission to make fun of me.

It's so sad... but many of us will never admit to the fact that by pointing out somebody else's flaws, it secretly gives us a sick but satisfying feeling...
I myself, do not make fun of people... Even if I do, I wouldn't have a problem admitting to it, because sometimes, that's just the way life is.

Some insecure people need to pick on others. They say fat people are the last acceptable group to pick on. I find it so mean when I hear people putting down heavy or bald people. It's such a turn off.

I have the same question regarding people who complain about bad drivers. You don't know if the person in the other car is handicapped and doing his best or talking on a cell phone.

I used to when I was a kid, only because my friends did, then we grew up. Now I don't really see a person's weight, unless they are REALLY big, and then I just feel bad because I'm sure it must be a medical thing. But I would never say anything.

People don't know, but most humans, fallible as they are, insult others fro almost anything, if not overwieght isssues, the color of your eyes or your haircut, your voice, etc... It's becuase people are so unsatisified with themselves, they put others down subconsiciously to make themselves feel better, or to disguise their own problems from others.
It's even more sad that this attitude is almost trained into us, and alot of us don't even realize we do it.
Humans... can't live with them, and can't let them kill themselves soon enough. =)
