why do fat people always get a bad rap?

Question

after all we are human like everyone else and have feelings

Answer 1

People are ignorant and don't realize that making fun of fat people can only make the person feel worse about themselves, and turn to food for comfort. I think that people who tease fat people think that they are doing them a favor by telling them rudely what they think fat people can't see about themselves. Mean people like that should realize that everyone has problems and overweight people's problems are just more obvious than others, and that it's not their place to point this out to them.

Answer 2

I realize in some cases people who are fat can't help it. It's either a hereditary thing or a glandular problem. However, a great many people in this country are overweight because they eat a constant diet of fast and processed foods. I know some people who will drink nothing but regular pop. Not only is the sugar horrible for them, but also there is something in the carbonation that affects the bones. I feel sorry for someone who has a glandular problem, but I don't have sympathy for someone who has gotten the way he/she is by overeating. Then whines he/she can't lose weight as they eat a triple cheese burger and a frosty. I realize that fast food is easy to do, but think about how much money they could save by eating some fresh veggies in a little dip or just drinking water. And yes, I practice what I preach. So it may seem unfair or mean, especially for the overweight people who can't help it, but I'd say for the majority of overweight Americans, it is something they can fix with a lifestyle change.

Answer 3

Overweight people get a bad rep simply because society sets too high of standards! Magazines feature skinny models so we begin to think that that is how we are supposed to look. Some people have a really hard time losing weight and they lose hope and give up. Some people view being heavy as a sign of being lazy. But really no one should judge. We all have our own problems. Everyone is beautiful in their own way!

Answer 4

Fat people do have some genuine reason for being overweight, but it the ignorant s**ts out their who make matters worse (Kimmyisah - you are one of them) with their stupid comments that aren't always true - but make matters worse. BO is not just associated to fat people, skinny people get in the way at theatres, and skinny people are so smug, thinking they're superior just cos their thin. Wake up and smell the coffee - being thin ain't all that great!

Answer 5

What do you mean always?
Gary Numa Numa guy- everyone loves him
Queen Latifa- she embraces her um big bonedness and alot of people love her
Kirsten Alley ("fat actress") She's pretty cool
So npt everyone in the world is dissed for being fat so chilax and just love being yourself no matter how big or small you are- as long as your happy that's all that should matter

Answer 6

Fat people break furniture, smell bad, get in the way, crowd you in airplanes, block your view in a theater, make noise when they breathe or walk. Why do they stuff themselves when they have to realize they're fat? Don't they care that their imposing on everyone else with their fat butts always in the way? Its not like they don't have a choice, they can stop eating so much.

Fat people are in denial. They think their problem is the attitude of fit people. They blame their obesity on everything but themselves. They have bad glands, they have stress, there are too many fast food restaurants. If all they want is an excuse, any will do. But, if they want to be fit, they need to stop eating so much. They have to be hungry for awhile. I'm not mean, I want them to do something about their situation so they'll be happier.

Answer 7

It's a prejudice just like any other, but for some reason it's socially acceptable to make fun of and hate some groups of people and not others.

And what's more the same people that verbally attack one group will condemn attacking another group of people. It's ridiculous.

Answer 8

some people cant see past their nose to see the reasons why some people are fat..do they stand there and think hey she has a thyroid problem or she has a bad life and comfort eats, or she feels better with a few grab handles, what ever the reason they dont stop to think

Answer 9

Lots of people just can't understand how one could be so gluttonous as to ruin their health. Fat people are very warm and cuddly. And if you let one sleep over and your heat goes off, you can use their shirt for a blanket.

Answer 10

From breakfast, go ahead and beverage orange juice. But throughout other day, focus on water rather then juice or soda
