It's the last socicially acceptable group to make fun of.
It's politically incorrect, and punishable by law, to make fun of people for sexual preference, race, religion, nationality, disability...but overweight? Have at it. Here is an article about a girl who said the phrase "you're so gay" meaning "your so stupid" and it's become a federal case. If she had said "Your so fat" would have been an issue?

If you're okay with being fat then that is your problem. But other fat people complain about their obesity yet still eat the same amount of food. Either be fat and happy or lose the weight. Besides, is accepted to make fun of smokers and ugly people but not fat people? Take it like a man.

Ya know, a few people are ignorant if they make fun of people. If a person loves the way they look, then who care's. Some mean people out there think it's hilarious to put people down and make them feel bad. I mean, it's not like you guys picked to be fat or anything. It's just the way God wants us to be and you shouldn't change it just because someone else can't let it go.

Im actually a bit on the heavy side myslef. Truth is its not whether your looking good skinny or fat, its concerning your health. I know i would love to look good thinner but also i realize my health is not 100% as it use to be. Making fun of people, thats a diffrent issue and that has nothing to do w/ us its an issue w/ the person and there attitude. I dont let it bother me cause i know they have bigger problems if they feel they should make fun of me cause of what i look like.

It's called Hollywood. Celebs put into fashion the thinness of popularity. The popular girls in high school were thin and gorgeous. It doesn't change.
When you're not Hollywood thin, you're fat. At my own wedding (after I had a child), I was told "Oh my GOD! What happened to you? You got so fat!"
The best thing you can do is to love yourself. Don't lose weight for fashion; lose weight for your health.
I would much rather my daughter (unborn at this point) idolize Anna Kornakova because she's HEALTHY instead pf Paris Hilton, who's UNHEALTHY.

Well first of all you do not look good being overweight! Just think about, but you already know that. Do not force yourself to think otherwise please! Why they make fun of that, is a good question though. They have no manners, and they are just trying to make themselves feel better. Therefore they are not really satisfied with themselves. They not only make fun of overweight people, they make fun of whatever. They are the funny ones. So do not let it affect you. Start changing your life for the better. Not because others make joke of your size, but do it for your health! Take care!

People are cruel and each person has their own reason.
I used to be fat and I really thought of myself as disgusting. I was made fun of and I hated it, but I truly felt that I deserved it.
Some reasons for people to do this is....
It's acceptable in society for some messed up reason.
They feel unhappy with themselves.
They feel as if it is their business, even though it's not.
They have a fear of fat people.
They hate looking at you because you are fat.
It gives them a feeling of importance, as if they are better than you because they are in better physical condition. (Healthier complex)

They are insecure about their own appearances. I've met a lot of people like that. I'm trying to lose weight now, but that's not from pressure; it's for my health, and I want more energy to get through the day. However, I admire those of us in this world who are proud to be "big and beautiful."

It don't matter what you are, someone will find a reason to make fun of you. Keep in mind you're living in a world where they killed Gandhi and other pretty kind people all for being too kind.

It's not healthy to be overweight! We want to you stick around and live for a long time! You'll feel so much better in every way once you lose some weight and start excercising. You probaby DO look good, but you would look even BETTER if you lost a few pounds.
