Get off your high horse, Rhythm.
There are several people out there that are higher risk to getting diseases and health problems. For example, smokers. So let's degrade smokers because they are more susseptable to respiratory illnesses.
And what about people like, that have kids in school? Those kids are like sess pools of illnesses and bring it home and spread it around the whole family. Should we flame on them as well?
Something you need to realize, Rhythm, and everyone else for that matter- is it their fucking life. They can do whatever they want, put whatever they want in their body, or whatever. And if you really cared for them or cared so much that you hated them, then next time they buy a big mac tell them fucking not to or something. Don't come in here and talk about overweight people as if they're destroying America single handedly.
I mean, christ. I don't think any of you guys would like someone to walk up to you and tell you that because you smoke pot, you get lung illnesses more often, thus make THEIR insurance rates go up, etc etc. Why do you want to walk around and talk like these people are tearing the world apart.
And JCMartin, let me fix this for you:

Eh smoking is at least addicting gnarley status. As a person who has quit smoking I know. But weight is something that is easy to fix.
Kids have no choice to go to school, people have the choice if they are going to eat a supersized meal or not.
They might not destroy america single handedly but they are doing a damn good job adding to it.
If your ideology is "its their life let them do as they wish," then accept my life and let me do as I wish. You can hate me and I can lack respect for obese people. Everyone goes home happy.
