Fat people make me feel ill.
Agreed.
I'm an incredibly tolerant person but when it comes to obese people, I physically feel sick just by looking at them.

Overweight implies that there is a regular weight. There isn't.I used to be fat! Throughout elementary I was overweight, and i decided to start eating better and walking as much as i can.
Being only 5'2, i weigh 100lbs now.
Fat people don't particularly bother me unless they're obese, in which case I have to admit i feel disgusted. Not because of the actual fat but because of the fact that they don't do something about their body being unhealthy. What Gee (was that her?) was saying about how skinny people can be very unhealthy too is really true. I used to be incredibly unhealthy. I probably still am, the last fruit I had was over a month ago and I skip meals like there's no tomorrow, but I'm trying my best to get healthy, and taking 4 pills a day to so. I walk for 45mins a day up and down a hill. It's a bitch but being too thin is just as bad as being too fat.
I don't hate fat people, I more don't understand WHY they don't try to get healthy!
Also i find plump people are cute!

I lost my train of thought again again again... I think the point I had planned on making was something to do with I don't believe in discrimination of any kind... and that includes weight. Just because someone is "overweight" doesn't mean that they live unhealthy lifestyles. My ex would be considered over weight... though she ate 1/3 of what I did and normally all health food and she exercised at least 4x a week and I haven't exercised in a couple months. Sometimes it is more than diet and exercise and it's the cards life throws at you. =/

It's not necessarily a choice, but it is something that's one's own affair. I mean, I have to live with my body - you live with yours. Whatever type of body will make you happy, comfortable, and get you through this life, that's the type of body you should have. If I lived in the north, I'd have 5-10 pounds of fat on my body. I don't right now, but I live in a swamp and I sweat out everything I eat. There are multiple factors affecting a population's weight. One is, indeed as Ali said, the government's education about health.
I'm not a healthy eater at all, and yet I'm skinny. I might have weighed above arithmetic mean at one point, but I'm assuredly at average now, for my height. Does this make me socially acceptable? Yes. Skinny people don't get hate. But does it make me any healthier than above average people? Nope. I could die tomorrow of malnutrition and I would neither look like a starving african, nor look like a beached whale.

just like theres always ways to gain weight, theres always ways to lose it. of course you get those with medical conditions, which somewhat explains/ justifies things, but at the same time, 9 times out of 10 its treatable. people need to exercise the control that they have over their own bodies.

You could exercise but still chuff on cheeseburgers and pizza, thousands of calories a day. It needs to be balanced. :\ And starving yourself is NOT a good way to lose weight.

i didnt literally mean "exercise" i meant exercise the control they have over themselves, i.e - learn to discipline themselves when needed. I said nothing about starving yourself.

I didn't mean the starving yourself comment to you. Sorry!
But to share a story, I am just frustrated at individuals who think starving themselves for a week or something is going to make you lose weight. It's a horrible cycle of binging which will result in more weight gain than anything. I know someone who tried to be anorexic and thought he could lose weight by not eating any meals at all then he'd go and stuff himself with many fattening foods because he could not take his hunger anymore. It's really sad. Your body will absorb that food like a sponge because it's been mistreated and it thinks it'll be in starvation mode again.
And yes, people do need to discipline, same goes for smoking cigarettes! People don't understand also that for the especially obese people that food is an addiction. Like cigarettes are. To cigarette smokers, you just can't stop like that easily. Having self-control is very difficult ... I've seen smokers trying to quit. It's hard. Food is also an addiction and like the situation I described with smokers, it is difficult for them to just "stop eating". When they eat so much like that it's hard for their bodies to adjust because they're so used to eating that much. I'm not condoning obesity but I am also trying to promote understanding of other people (yes, even the really ~*DISGUSTING

Or any other people. There's always an underlying cause as to why they're the way they are.
If fat people make you ill, deal with it. The world doesn't revolve around you and your needs. Whoever thinks they're so self-important other people need to cater and change just for some group of people are really egotistical. Get over yourselves. I'm so sick of hearing people saying, "ohoohho they take my bus seat! they stink! blahkbh lahv" boo hoo it's not the end of the fucking world. Go sit somewhere else or deal with the smell -- there's people who aren't fat and smell like the sewage.
Of course, since racism and sexism are highly frowned upon in our societies, and when using black people or women as a scapegoat is no longer acceptable, fat people are the new things to blame in the world.

Your wrong about people not being able to control being fat. Some can't. Some aspects are generic and other psychological.

Sometimes even cultural factors tend to make a population fat.

Most people in this thread symbolize the #1 problem in America when it comes to being "fat" or more politically correct, obesity: that is, ignorance.
