It does seem like being fat is the new gay. Being in bad shape will kill you sooner. Being gay will only kill you sooner if you live in the South (badum bum).
If you're overweight and fine with it, that's cool. Understand that you will be considered less attractive to the average person, you'll have less energy, you'll get sick more often, you're clothes will have to tent over your tummy, and you are probably shortening your life. But you're free to do that. I see it as being similar to smoking (having been addicted to food and smoking in my life).
If you aren't fine with it, then do something about it. I'll do everything I can to help.
On the up side, no more claustrophobia in the cat scan machine for me!
