I have sympathy for the devil, does that count? ;)

It depends. It depends why they are heavy. If it is because of some medical reason, yes, of course. If it is a result of taking a medicine to cure one thing, and have the side effects of weight gain, then yes.

If it is flat out gluttony...my first instinct is to say no, of course not, they should get off their asses, put down the cheeseburgers, and get to work. However, the flip side of that is that once a person crosses into that, to me, it becomes an untreated mental health issue.

So I dunno.

For clarification, to me, sympathy in this instance would be because of the health risks of being obese and the limitations it gives to everyday life (airline travel that has been mentioned being one of those things). I don't have sympathy in the regards of there being a certain body type that society says is acceptable.
