My biggest problem with people yammering about “discrimination” on fat people is this. For most overweight people they have made themselves the way they are. The fact that people comment on their being fat isn’t being discriminating, its being factual. It may not be nice, but its true. If you look like a walrus, don’t cry because someone has pointed out you look like a walrus. Do not whine because us “skinny/healthy” people make you look bad.
Yes I know there are some who for various medical reasons are predisposed to being overweight, but given that in the US alone 1 out of every 3 adults is Morbidly Obese I just don’t think that the majority can claim “I have a medical problem.” When the truth is they ate themselves to this position, they chose not to exercise, they chose to whine about not feeling healthy, but did nothing to stop what’s causing the problems, I feel no sympathy for them. And we’ve all seen people do this. How many co-workers, family members, friends have you see eat or do something that they know they’re shouldn’t do and still do it. I have one lady at work who will eat the fried food there. She’s knows she’s diabetic, knows she shouldn’t eat it because it will play havoc with her digestive and keep her up half the night, but does it anyway.
If my safety is being impaired because you have put me in an unsafe situation due to your “excess luggage” I’m going to complain. No I wont complain to the stewardesses, they’re stuck in the same situation. The only thing they can do is follow company policy. But I would be writing a letter to that airline.
