Prejudice against fat people???

[Falconer02]

What about skinny people? Last year I lost a lot of weight and I started to get comments, like, " You're TOO skinny now!"....I think its just the same as being overweight because what people call you can really gear you up for an eating disorder in which I now believe that I might have, since everyday is about how many calories I am going to consume. So I think it is sad either way

Unless you end up in the hospital due to your disorder, it's just a personal problem you must over come and not everyone elses. I refer to the Original Post-

"THEY ARE EATING MORE, DOING LESS, AND RAISING EVERYONES HEALTH INSURSANCE RATES WITH THEIR CLOTTED ARTERIES ANDDOUBLE BYPASSES. "

i must say that i agree with falconer on this.

people always looking for an excuse or a way out...when really the problem is just themselves.

I agree but the original post from the person arguing for a fat tax is under the impression that fat people are just some lazy slobs who do nothing but eat all day and he acts as though they have less worth as human beings just because of their weight. That is ludicrous! Some people ARE fat because they are lazy, others are fat because they're depressed and it's a mental thing that keeps them from succeeding. Some people are fat just because they were told they are fat their whole lives and that is what they become!

Some people are skinny because they were born that way, some are skinny because they work hard starving themselves to stay that way, some are skinny because of illness. It's the same thing and neither one deserves to be treated with such disgusting attitudes as saying they should be taxed for people having to look at them.

Don't tax them!

Tax them!

Yeah I don't agree with that either. I'm just for it due to the insurance stuff. Decent health insurance is ludicrously expensive.
