It has been proven that being obese is just as bad for you as smoking. Why are they always the first to point it out then? And why is it OK for them to say "Hey - you shouldn't smoke, that's disgusting" and it's not OK for me to say "Hey - your humongously fat - that's totally disgusting."??

I've found it to be an important guideline then whenever someone tries to tell me how to live my life, that they are really talking to themselves: they are worried about the same thing and are laying it on you.
I think your story shows exactly how this sort of thing can work: these people are worried about their own health, so they try to escape that worry by blaming shifting it on to you, "at least I don't smoke!" is what they are thinking in hopes of making themself feel better.
I avoid people who stick their nose into by business like that. Or, if I care about such a person, I'll take the time to let them know that my choices are by business and have nothing to do with them.

1. being fat may not be because they binge eat. It sometimes can be genetics. Or maybe they have a condition that prevents them from doing excercise well (asthma). However, smoking is exclusively a habit picked up.
2. I dont think fat people are the first to point out about smoking, i've heard it from people of all differences.

I don't know...
Why do parents teach that honesty is the best policy and then slap you in the face when you say that Aunt Bertha is fat and hairy and smells like cigars and you don't want to hug her because you are constantly afraid that you will get lost in her bosom and suffocate trying to get out?

Maybe that's why they got fat. They stopped smoking.

If I had fairy dust I would sprinkle it on you so you could be obese for 24 hours and then let you submit that question.
