...but not "skinny" people who eat just as much junk as those obese people, do as much exercise (little to none), and are carried solely by their metabolism, which they put in no actual effort to attain, seeing as its genetics?

It's as if fat people are called out because people think they're gross more so than people genuinely caring about the health of others. But that can't be it...?

well how would you call them out if they are skinny? clearly they can hide their bad habits better

What kind of argument? Skinny people who overeat aren't costing our healthcare services millions and millions every year.

It's also about economic efficiency. I personally wouldn't hire an obese person if I had a choice because i wouldn't want to take the chance of paying for their constant sickness leave that comes with being obese.

Listen I wouldn't mind if Sally was stuffing her face with a KFC if she wasn't costing tax payers money

And why even be fat? Jesus Christ has blessed you with this beautiful functioning body and to throw it away while others are born with limbs missing, is a moral crime and brings me great fury.

actually they aren't as unhealthy. They may have similar habits but being 100 pounds overweight poses significant more health risks.

Well, you can't. But you can't know the habits of a fat person until you actually know them. For all anybody knows, they could be working on losing weight, but that wouldn't stop someone from going up to them on the street just to call them fat.

That's why I believe that unless you actually know the person and would be willing to actively help that person, you should keep your unneeded opinions to yourself.

People can also seethe at their tax money going to health care when it could be used for worse.

Hypocrisy. Obesity gets made fun of while things like alcoholism, anorexia and drug addictions tend to get sympathised.

Lies, you can train your metabolism..

Unhealthy is unhealthy, regardless of if you're fat or not.

And you seemed more bothered by the fact that you're losing money. Are you struggling to pay your bills or something?

What an idiotic post

People who do that probably exercise anyway. Like they probably lead a healthy life style and are irrelevant to this discussion.

There are people in this world who call out fat people when the only reason they're not fat is because their metabolism carries them. This is the main point of this thread.

Obesity is completely preventable (literally just don't stuff your mouth and be lazy ) and it does put a large strain on the medical system. I'm sorry I just don't feel sorry for overweight people. I wont go up to someone and call them fat though.

Being fat is a predisposition to numerous illnesses, especially cardiovascular soooo

Why dont people just exercise instead of pointing at each other like little children?

" OMG what bout skinny peoplez, me fattie no want exercise, bash skinny peopleZ pls"

You keep bringing up this **** about costing tax payers money yet:

You're in for a big shock when you find out about military spending please! You hate overweight people, just admit it.

Hunty i don't care if it's unhealthy or not. The fact is obesity is costing this nation millions upon millions - money we could be saving up for other investments.

And I talk a lot about costing not because of money but because of pride. I do not want the hard earned money of tax payers to go to fatty fatima who stuffed her face with a burger because her boyfriend dumbed ha

Some of y'all are nasty, awful people. I am so thankful I was raised to be kind, f****** hell
