OP, your list of failings of the fat folk, nasty as it is, IMO, reflects the silently "polite" thinking of many. Some may even use that list as motivation to keep to a healthy weight plan. Three thoughts about weight issues: 1) Prescriptions can cause dramatic weight gain. Blood pressure meds, for example, but there are many others. 2) In the U.S., the food supply is presented after it's been saturated or soaked with preservatives. Some foods, such as beef and dairy, are permeated with growth hormones. Organic food is costly, and therefore not accessible to the financially challenged. Both preservatives and hormones contribute to weight gain. 3) Money and medical advances are eliminating fat. The recent boom in "like-lipo"noninvasive procedures, fat cells are burst and then eliminated from the body while the light (or laser) tightens the loose skin. If you can afford it, you can be as thin as you like. OP, my question is, what if the thin person you see lacks discipline, good diet or exercise regimes and is really a fat person who what? cheated their way to thinness? What will that mean to your assessment if you only judge the book by its cover?
