What are your thoughts on overweight people?

Is it their fault that they are in their current situation? Do they deserve sympathy?

Should accommodations in society be made for overweight people?
 
I don't think about it too much. People come in all shapes and sizes.

Aww, how sweet. :hug:



Anyway, lots of people are overweight due to health conditions or medications and cannot control their situation. There are lots of people who are overweight due to poor diet and lack of exercise. Either way I don't judge. Its their life and their body. We all need to worry more about ourselves instead of judging other people.

We all come in many different shapes and sizes. In fact, there's plenty of overweight and obese people who actually love their bodies, and don't feel the need to diet and lose weight. It's their bodies, no one else should judge others for what they do with their body. I'm happy that there's more body positivity that's been coming out recently, and there's more plus size models in the limelight.

So very true on all accounts.

This more or less covers it.

There is also a lot that could be said about why a person is out-of-shape that I don't necessarily feel like peeling back the onion on. Major companies market fatty foods and load them up with ingredients specifically designed to hook customers.

Financially, I am fairly well off. I am not rich or even upper middleclass, but I am not living paycheck to paycheck. However, I have known people who are and I also simply pay attention. The most affordable meals aren't the healthiest. They're the ones with the addictive ingredients, the salts and sugars, the preservatives, etc., the ones you're most likely to find at a foodbank. It's an ecosystem and it wasn't 'accidentally' made.

Well said :)
Depression can cause over eating also so be nice to over weight people.
This is also very true.

Pretty much this. I don't really care how big a person is as long as they're kind and not hurting anyone else due to their size. Who the hell knows how they got that big and who would I be for judging them for it?

How could they be hurting anyone else by being fat? .. you mean jumping on skinny people and crushing them in to tiny bits and eating them? 😄
 
Me, I am overweight.

Feeding their children unhealthy foods without doing adequate research, being in charge of other people's health and basically setting them up for multiple health conditions that are not so easily remedied, etc.

I don't care. People are people. Their lives are their own and have nothing to do with me. As long as they are happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say. I'm pretty sure no one wants anyone feeling sorry for them especially when they're just trying to live their lives like everyone.
