I Hate Fat Discrimination
Alcoholic: I've recognised that my drinking is having a destructive effect on my body, and I really want to quit, but I'm going to need moral support and guidance to do so.
Society: Oh, it's wonderful to see someone take control of their life like that! Let us direct you to Alcoholics Anonymous and wish you the best of luck!
Drug addict: I'm sick of being dependent on crack, I'm going to turn my life around. Just point me in the right direction and support me, and I know I can do it.
Society: You poor, brave soul. Here are some excellent rehab clinics and detox programs to help you.
Obese person: I really want to lose weight, but I think I'll need help to do so. Can someone offer moral support or exercise tips?
Society: Oh my God, drop the Big Mac and get on a treadmill, fatty! How dare you ask us to help clean up your mess, you disgusting pig!
