Come on, it's far easier to control one's words than it is to control one's weight ...
You can certainly say what you want, though. I just don't accept your view that overweight people are so because they generally choose to be so.
Except I never said that. You're putting words in my mouth. I made the distinction early on between fat people who are fat for reasons out of their control, and people who are fat because of their own faults, basically, and even consider that to be something they should pride themselves on. I specifically said I have no issue with the former, that would be irrational, but I will criticize the later.
This is typical of a regressive mindset. Your SJW complex makes you create problems where there aren't any to be had.
