Are people in general more disgusted with drug addicts or people who are overweight?

Answer 1

Believe me when I say society can tolerate anything but obesity. I weighed 480 lbs 4 years ago. My whole life I was tormented, I was called lazy, no good, a slob, People never understood that FOOD can become a drug, just like crack, cocaine, alcohol. I never understood why there was no one that could help me. Finally I did and lost a huge amt of weight and had a ton of plastic surgery, but I can never forget how horrible it was to go through life as an obese woman. Most of Society sucks !!!!!

Answer 2

I think more people are digusted with overweight/obese people because they think that they just eat whatever they want, don't exercise and don't care about themselves or how they look.

I know for me, personally, I would have a little more sympathy for drug addicts, but I think that they can help themselves also. Nobody forces you to take drugs just like nobody forces you to be overweight.

Answer 3

I don't know about statistics, but this is my opinion..... I think most people are more disgusted with obesity because it's viewed as laziness and personal choice that can be easily overcome, while drug addiction is viewed as a symptom of a disease or mental problems, something that others can help with, but fatness is something that should be overcome by themselves. I don't necessarily agree, but I think that's how most people see it.

Answer 4

seems like most have problems with people being overweight. alot of jokes and comments made about it everywhere. which i do think is wrong. people are intitled to their own opinions but theres a line between that and abuse of that power
