What Bill said was pretty douchey. I do agree with him that we have an "eating shit" problem in the U.S. Most of us who are chubby are chubby because of food decisions we make. My food decisions may have a tinge of mental health in the mix, but it's mostly me, just eating shit. That said, of course fat shaming isn't going to help. What kind of monster thinks body shaming is okay? Fuck that attitude. Drowning people don't survive because you held their head under water.
Maybe because you were never required to physically interact with them. Have you ever airplaned sitting next to one? Consideration is completely one way.
You should also experience the pleasure of work travel with an obese partner.
But I have been. It just never bothered me. I've certainly never interacted with an obese person who wanted special consideration for it, other than needing a motorized cart at the store, which I didn't really give a shit about it.
I'm annoyed with anyone who is an entitled shit. I just haven't come across fat entitlement.
