There is a huge prejudice for fat people and it makes me sad.


Amen. The stereotypes just run amok when it comes to obesity. Everyone has the answer for the one struggling with their weight. Frankly, if the one's answer WAS the answer for all, wouldn't all be doing it by now?

Having a laugh at another's expense is wrong. No matter how you dress it up.
