I don't prophetize or act rudely to obese people, but inside I feel like they could do something about the 40lb. roll of fat around just their gut. Walking just 20 minutes a day would do wonders. Instead of watching TV go for a walk. That easy.

It just comes back to the same old question though. Yes, you are intolerant. Doesn't matter if you're preaching or bitching at fat people to lose weight, fact is, you're seeing the fat before you see the person. That means you're prejudging them as lazy, greedy, slobbish couch potatoes. And, no it's not fair of you to do that.
It doesn't even matter that being fat or thin is a 'choice'. A lot of you who are saying it's a choice are saying it under the presupposed notion that to be fat is the 'wrong' choice. Well bully for you Mr Thin, but you know it makes you look horribly self-righteous, right?
Why should I try to exercise? What if I like being fat? What if I don't enjoy it? What if I have other things I want to spend my time on? What if I look in the mirror and like what I see? What if my wife prefers me a bit tubby? What then? Why should I comply with your ideas on making my life a better place to be? If you think battling weight issues are more important than finding happiness, then I'm not interested in your philosophy.
