Does everyone understand how universal this question is?
I have a lot of questions about people and how and why they behave the way they do. Being fat isn't one of them.

Its that they are fat and are LAZY too. It's that they are fat and complain that they don't have energy to walk the dog. They have no right to complain about the state of their home or health of their body because they are doing absolutely nothing to improve themselves in any way on their own.
It's the complaining and laziness, not so much the state of obesity that bothers me and I'm guessing most everyone else who complains about obese people.

But not all obese people are like this. And many non-obese people are. Therefore it is very unfair and misleading to use this account as a condemnation of fat people. Right?
