There is a worrying trend towards normalising obesity, it's very difficult. On one hand you can't treat people poorly because they are obese and they shouldn't be bullied over it but going to the other extreme and pretending that there are not negative consequences for being overweight is extremely unhealthy and could literally kill people.
Of course when you say this with a 25" inch waist people just accuse you of being a b!tch. But there is a difference between persecuting and judging people who are overweight (which I do not do) and being rightly concerned at a growing culture that sticks its head in the sand over the health implications.
Yep, it handily illustrates how no matter what you look like it doesn't matter, these people will find a reason to persecute you.
