Fat people bashers?

whats the deal with so many people hating fat people?


I notice a lot of people bash them, not all fat people are lazy.





I have been big all my life, not that i choose to be it's just what i am. Sure i work out, infact i'm the only one that has an active life in my family and everyone else just sits around the house but doesn't gain a pound.





I think it's not fair that everyone bash fat people just because they are big when some people arent blessed with a high metabolism, just because someone is big doesn't mean they eat a lot. My brother is only 140 pounds and he eats almost three times what i eat and no i don't eat junk food





I'm not super big but i'm not small, so before the bashers insult me i have a neck, only thing thats big is my stomach sadly and it's not even super big

There is a difference between being big boned and having a gut, and being fat and lazy. Honestly, you're letting the internet get to you too much.





I just finished my classes to become a Certified Personal Trainer. The more you know about obesity, the percentage of people who fit into the category, and what it does to your body, the more you want to STOP it.





Let's be realistic here-when I was a kid, there were one or two kids IN MY SCHOOL who were 'big'. Not hugely fat, but larger than average. Now, being skinny is abnormal. Since I was a kid, people have gotten lazier, started eating more fast food, and thus, gotten fatter.





It's fact. It's reality. The VAST majority of overweight/obese people are due to sheer laziness, not genetics, and not due to medical problems or medications.





Did you know, that in the USA, we spend more money each year on fast food than higher education? That the average American eats fast food THREE TIMES each and every week?





This is not about making overweight people feel bad. This isn't about making fun of people because they aren't considered aesthetically pleasing. This is about the large cost of health care for these people, the quality of life, and the monopoly that fast food has on this country.





Here are a few things that can happen to your body if you live the average American (sedentary) lifestyle





High cholesterol: Do you know what that REALLY means? It means that fat cells (lipids), which are not water soluble, start to build up in your arteries. Bit by bit, they narrow the passages for your blood. This puts strain on your heart (the most important muscle in your body).





Diabetes: Yeah, we all know it means you can't have a lot of sugar. Do you know what this does to your body? It makes your kidneys work harder. And your liver. And your pancreas. If you're lucky, you can only take a pill every day and prick your finger. If you aren't so lucky, you'll have to give yourself insulin shots. A man my husband went to high school with (he's 37 now) has had diabetes since he was 30 due to his weight and diet. Guess where he is now? Getting dialysis 3 times a week because his kidneys don't work.





Belly fat: Ahh yes, the ever elusive belly fat that we can never seem to get rid of. Do you know what's inside your belly? Organs. Know what happens when you've got a huge, fat belly? That's right, boys and girls, your ORGANS become enclosed by F-A-T. Does that sound healthy? Didn't think so.





These are only the tip of the iceberg. Not exercising leads to a slew of other health problems, but I will stop here because for this question, I feel like this is sufficient. If anyone has anymore questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Reply:They do it because it's the only form of hatred and discrimination that people are still encouraged to practice openly. Even radio talk show hosts openly bash "fat people" implying that they should be the object of our hatred. If they were bashing African Americans, cancer survivors or Jews with the same kind of hatred they would be sued up the wazoo.
Reply:I gained weight when i became lazy, like the MAJORITY of other people.





Obesity is killing more people now than smoking, they are cosating the heath industry more, they are more at risk for ceratin cancer than smokers are AND pregnant women who are obese put themselves and their unborn at greater risk.
