What gives you the right to bash someone because they're fat?? What if they're not fat because they eat or are lazy? My grandpa was skinny until he was in his early 20's and what I mean by skinny is about 6'1" and a freaking pole not an inch of muscle or fat. One night his friend got a new car and they took it for a drive it was him, and 2 of his friends.. This is a 2 seater car by the way.. He was in the back seat even though it only had two front seat. The driver was going a little two fast on a corner and lost control of the car and the car wrapped around a pole. My grandpa was the only survivor but was in a coma when he finally woke up he didnt feel right and he finally noticed his whole body was HUGE!! His stomach was so swollen and extended because they pumped him full of fluids to keep him alive.. My grandpa survived but to this day he is over weight.. He does cardio and works out and tries to lose weight but he has been overweight since that wreck. And he eats healthy and right but ever since that wreck his body has never been the same.. No one else in our family is obese or overweight.. Except for my aunt and her husband.. My aunt was also skinny her whole life until she had kids.. But she had 10 pound babies was put on bedrest from the start and gained a ton of weight!! I know you can still lose it and she started losing a lot of her weight but she gains it back but those are the only people in our family overweight..

I don't its the fat they are bashing, but the lifestyle that a majority of obese people lead.

I do believe your grandpa's cause is a rare situation.... so not sure what the exact point is here

I don't think anyone has that right. Sometimes weight can be a physiological issue, such has a malfunctioning thyroid, a medication, an illness. Nobody immune to becoming overweight.

My point is dont bash people because they're fat.. I understand if they CAN get skinny but what if they're sick and are on a medication that makes them gain weight.. Or what if they have and underactive thyroid.. Yes some people are fat because they're lazy but not all people

Why does anyone care about another persons weight? Does it bother you?

I agree that people shouldnt judge in any relm of anything but honestly the majority of people who are overweight just simply dont care of constantly make excuses when there can be something done. I dont go around rolling my eyes at overweight people & honestly I'd love to give them the benefit of the doubt but most of the time it simply is just a bad lifestyle choice.

It bothers me, because I end up paying for their healthcare through my taxes.

A bunch of people are posting about fats and how they're disgusting and stuff like that.. Yes if someone is a lazy ass and all they do is sit around and pig out all day that disgust me.. because they need to control themself and get a life.. But some people have a reason they're fat its not always because they eat too much or because they're lazy

 does it bother you that I am overweight? YES Im overweight but how are you paying for my healthcare? Last I checked, I paid for my healthcare and if its true that YOU are paying it - than i want a better doctor bcs mine is a douche at times (he reminds me of House)
