Depends on if they have one of the debilitating conditions that comes with being fat (arthritis, heart disease, the many complications of diabetes................)

Fat people, as you put it, are not just fat now. Many of us started out as heavy children. That weight grows with them. But It starts distroying the discs of their spine and the joints of the knees even then. During growing years any damage is healed some what by their continued growth. But as we become adults that slight heaviness now starts its real damage.
While jogging is good for many people, for the heavy adult it is now the worst thing for them. The impact of the bones on the cartledge in the knee is a hundred pounds per inch for every 10 bounds of excesive weight.
That is anything over the normal body weithy.
That is the same as it was when this child was playing in the school yard and no one bothered to help control his weight then. This is the same child that used to be great because he was bigger than everyone else.
Now go back to that Fat person in the handicap parking space.
His knee joins are breaking down. The bones now grind one on the other because there is no cartledge left. - Chronic Pain & Imflamation.
How do you 'Walk Farther For Excersise' when each step taken is one closer to possable spending the rest of your life in a wheel chair. And people like you look at them and say "Got a chair because their to lazy to walk. It's even electric."
But where are the friends that thought you were so great and big when you were protecting them. When they gave you that extra food they snuck out to you.
So WHO put the FAT people in the handicap parking places.
And where are those friends?
That would be the ones asking why FAT people get handicap parking places.

A fat person has a hard time catching their breath when they have to walk a good ways. They also have trouble with their knees from the pressure on their joints.
When you are a smaller person, you can't know what an obese person goes through. I have a friend that has so many different disease from her weight, she has a handicap sticker for her car. But she also has a bad heart, lungs, liver, muscles, joints, nails, hair, eyes, ears, and bad nerves.
She use to be a small woman till she was in an auto wreck. The only thing that happened to her was, she messed up her neck a little. (backlash).
With in two months, she developed all kinds of illnesses, fibrodmialgia, sun poison, etc.
Please, when you see someone overweight, don't make faces at them or think harm about them. Sometimes things happen that you can't help.

Parking spaces for the handicapped aren't just closer to the entrance of a building, they're also placed farther apart much of the time, and thus make it easier for people to get into or out of a vehicle parked there. That's why obese people who don't have another condition (arthritis, bad back, whatever) caused by their weight still get a handicap tag for their car.
Of course, I'm sure that some of them are just lazy, as are some people of lesser weight. People are like that.

I don't know. I had a morbidly obese professor in college who got handicapped privileges simply for being obese. He got to park right by the front door, refused to climb stairs, would only teach on the ground floor, etc. And he bragged about it. It all seemed pretty bogus to me.

Things are not always as they seem. There may be more going on than what meets the eye. There could be all kinds of reasons for the disability. The weight may be due to an illness not just because the person is "lazy." Don't judge.
