But some fat people aren't fat and unhealthy because of their own actions. That's like saying skinny people are skinny and attractive because of their own actions. Nearly all of my friends in high school and most in college are "skinny." Of those, a large majority eat way more than they should and just party/play videogames all day and all night. They do not exercise and they eat obscene amounts. They stay skinny. People like me eat the average amount and stay fat and unhealthy. Could I be skinny and healthy? Sure, but my "fatitude" is not attributed to eating abnormally unhealthy. Some people are born with extremely bad metabolism. Some are born with really good metabolism. Your lifestyle doesn't determine how fat you are in every situation. On top of that, there is nothing wrong with being chunky and nasty. Some people are born like that. I guess all the chunky and nasty people in the world should gather around and take part in the chunky and nasty genocide just because they have their parents genes.
The people I do not have remorse for are those that make themselves fat. If I eat completely healthy and do not drink softdrinks, I do lose about 30 pounds of the weight I'm at now, but I'm still considered "fat" physically, and I don't just mean the medical fat. I'm talking if you asked a stranger if I was fat, they'd say "yes." If skinny people do not have to eat healthy to stay skinny, then saying a fat person is lazy because they don't live a lifestyle of lettuce and water is hypocrisy. A person that eats 5000 calories a day and is fat doesn't deserve remorse, but some people (like me) would have to eat 500 calories a day for the rest of their life to maintain their suggested body weight.
Sorry for going on and on, but this subject is basically directed at overweight people.
PS: a woman can be considerably overweight and be downright hot. Many of the girls at my school are considered ugly by all of my skinny friends...they're also the guys that have never had a girl before. Chubby girls are the best; I find them way more attactive than skinny girls.
