    Do you live under a rock… Because you’re in denial, just like so many who are denying they’re morbidly obese. And despite warnings of health problems and risks… The obesity problem keeps rising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States#%3A~%3Atext%3DThe_obesity_rate_has_steadily%2C17%25_of_children_were_obese.?wprov=sfla1

    I’m not saying insulting is the right approach. But clearly this pro-obese movement people have been pushing is just as wrong.

      Yes it is harmful to the people themselves. Then help them with kindness. Not by shitting on them and bullying and offending them. A lot of people are overweight because they are depressed. And just because there are a few people that think its healthy, doesn’t mean they all should be made fun of. Talk to those specific people directly instead of being a bully towards everyone.

      I don’t see people being hateful like this towards people smoking.

      Don’t be a dick. Its not that hard.
