How many of you think Fat shaming is OK and they should not be accepted in society?

I feel fat shaming is bad... Yes it is unhealthy but we all have some unhealthy habits... I also have eating disorder and I can't gain weight. A lot of women get obese after pregnancy... Would you fat shame your wife, mother or sister?

Walk a mile in their shoes. Never OK, it is not always as it seems.

When people get very large it makes them look lazy and irresponsible. You have to wonder what's going on in their life that they can't control what they eat . I don't make fun of people and I don't stare at people either. I'm just telling you what I think because I can. @nudewalker:

@Puffieke: I agree, after seeing how medical and mental conditions affect people, and I can't judge.

Not always are these conditions the cause of weight gain, however. Some people just like to eat or have less control than others. Whatever the reason, it's clearly got control of them and is more important than their health is. Maybe it's all they have to live for. Maybe they don't care about the people around them but they clearly don't care about themselves or their families enough to drop a few pounds. Some people think it's normal to take high blood pressure pills at 30. I guess the stress they are undergoing is more important than the satisfaction of healthy living. @nudewalker:
