I think this thread naturally slanted toward the discrimination part of the discussion because it is a lot easier to reject than the hatred/ridicule part.
Hatred/Ridicule of over-weight people in the United States is real, and there isn't any effort, or at least very little effort, to change that.
Most people are fat because of personal choices.
All people choose how to treat others, and some (a very large some) choose to treat people who are over-weight different than everyone else. People in this thread have gone out of their way to mention that *they* aren't fat. Why is that?
Why does it matter?
I'm not over-weight nor do I smoke or drink, look at me I'm really special!
If I was only good looking... the world would be mine!
