People make fun of anything and everything.
Fat people get mocked a lot more openly than others, but believe me, there are plenty of people who think skinny is gross.
The problem is, skinny people don't get offended when you make fun of them as much, cuz it's socially desirable. But people who obsess over being thin and perfect are usually the most horrible people on the planet to interact with.
I'm not skinny or fat at this point in my life. But in high school I was horribly thin and got made fun of. In college I filled out a little and got a lot of attention from men. Now I'm married and exactly the target weight for my height. Which means to some people I'm already fat. I get scared sometimes I won't be able to lose weight as I age, because of medical problems that run in my family, but you know what? No matter what happens, if someone mocks me for being skinny or fat, it makes it REAL EASY for me to know what a complete waste of a human being that person is, and that I shouldn't waste a single second trying to interact with them.
To quote one of my favorite songs, "I'd rather be fat and sassy, I don't care what you think about me...You're fat, get over it! Girl, go with it!"

I would never be mean to a person because they had a big behind, or because they were fat. But just to clarify, a lot of people just have big butts, but aren't actually fat. Usually when people are truly fat it means they have big stomachs.

there are a number of reasons. One, fat shows you don't respect yourself. It shows you are mentally weak willed, and can control yourselves. You're a real space problem; you take up two seats, you sweat and smell really bad... plus you are always wheezing. Did you know that obese people are the first ones to die? More than AIDS or any other disease. Heart disease is your downfall. It really shows you care only about yourself and no one else, especially your family, who's probably told you to back down before you die... your mortality rate is CRAZY!!!
It's a sign of laziness and it's a mental disorder because you're only fulfilling your cravings and desires because you can't cope with your emotional stress any other way.
Work out. Quit eating like a pig, and get some respect already. You're grossing us out.
Oh, and you have a million excuses to blame something else other than yourself.

There are people who are fat because of genetics or disease and then there are people who are just plain lazy and pretty much decide to be fat. Sometimes what a person needs is a nudge to get off the couch and do something about it. There are some people who are not couch potatoes, but choose to just eat whatever they want and not care.
I work everyday to keep myself in shape. I try to eat the right foods and I walk whenever I can. I don't do anything extreme, but i do what I can. I show people I care about myself.
People who don't take care of themselves kind of makes me sick. I don't make fun of them, but sometimes I just want to make them see what they are doing to themselves.
People who make fun of fat people are wrong. People who don't care that they are fat are wrong. Two wrongs don't make it right.

It's quite hilarious to watch fat people eat three times as much as I do, sweat while doing it, and then complain that they are still hungry.I love laughing at those fatties and making fun of them.....others have legitimate reasons for being overweight and i don't laugh at them.

I'm not mean to large people. In fact, I feel sorry for them because in some cases they can't help it so I go out of my way to be nice and show them that they are just like anyone else in my book.

People are mean because they equate fatness with sloth and laziness and stupidity. Too bad for them. Their bad karma will come back to bite them!

I don't make fun of fat people... but.... I don't have pitty for them either. I once weighed 325 lbs. and got back down to 185. Of coarse moving out of my parent's house had a lot to do with it. Money for rent or food.... rent or food..... rent. Go hungry again- oh well.

People fear what they don't understand or in this case what is different from them. We start to hate what makes us feel afraid, thus the ridicule of fat people.

well it depends how fat you are, if u are like morbidly obese u should get help from a doctor or specialist. if u are just a bit fat well then just do some exercise and diet. its hard but its worth it
