When I see an obese child holding a can of soda or a bag of chips, my heart breaks. I do consider child obesity (if caused by excess food or junk food) child abuse. I don't stop and say how cute their legs with rolls are, or how cute their hidden eyes look. No. It just seems so sad and I break a little inside.
Regarding everythig else fat related: I can't look at people and assume the worst. I personally know at least three people (I've lived in many places) that are not overweight because of their eating habits. They have illnesses that combined with their medication and intolerance for certain treatments, they just keep gaining weight. I have seen them eat. They don't abuse food. Yes, I also know overweight people who abuse food. So, what then? Would we tax them all equally? Would we have them bring a doctor note excusing or not excusing their weight, in order to determine taxability? I'm sorry, but I rather walk around life overlooking their obesity that doesn't hurt me, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt as if none have fault of their own, if that means I spare 1 in 20 people unfair judgement. I have enough reasons to be bitter, and adding people's body weight to it just seems ridiculous. And I'm not being a hypocrite, before anyone goes there. Just as I have dated fit people, ripped people, thin women... I have also dated overweight humans. I watch my body and make sure I'm healthy, but damn. When I look at you, I can't see your medical records. It's none of my business. Just don't feed your child excess junk food when they're obese, and we're good.
Oh my god, this. ^^^

If they're not and aren't condescending fucking pricks about it, good for them too. My bottom line is that people aren't made to feel like shit about themselves. Believe me, obese people don't have an internal dialogue you would want to live with. Leave them alone.
