that affects YOU because...
when an airline is being told that they have to give a free seat to an obese person
that affects YOU because...
when we have to start adapting our lives to someones irresponsible behavior
that affects YOU because... (please detail the steps you had to take to adapt to fat people)
when our insurance has to pay for a horrible personal choice which becomes labeled a "disability"
that affects YOU because...
etc etc etc
... it affects everyone.
sorry, too vague and still can't see how it affects you. Or me.
moreover, it sends a horrible message to everyone and validates poor behavior and poor choices of an individual and paints the individual as a victim.
well, I can agree with that, but I think it's way worse to play fascism against people than being fat. Anything and everything you mention would exist for people who's fat for medical conditions, such as pituitary gland affections. So unless you're proposing a "Final Solution" and send everyone who is fat or overweighted to a concentration camp or something, I can't see how you plan to solve this, how do you plan to label those who are fat because of medical conditions as opposed to those who are fat because of your own prejudice and definition about people being "lazy".
And as we're at it, do you plan to bomb McDonalds? Do you have an alimentary health plan for kids and/or schools? Do you have a health plan for the whole US? Are you going to ban all unhealthy food? and as we are at it... what is your definition of unhealthy? and what is WHO or FDA or government definition of unhealthy? should 99% of food factories in US (and the world) close because of your own prejudices? And all that just so a greedy company can discriminate fat people? Geez...
