Before setting off to work this morning, noticed there was a report on how fat people should not be ridiculed or abused physically/verbally in public because that would be classed as a 'fat hate' crime.

Apart thinking it's another useless label put onto something that has been going since the year dot, obviously I wouldn't condone physical attack on someone just because of their weight - it's their choice and should be free to do what they like.

However the discussion always end up with they don't have a choice as they are genetically challenged therefore can't lose weight etc but without going all scientific it's no rocket science that if you eat more and do zero exercise you're more likely to resemble the Michelin man than Christiano Ronaldo.

As most of my work colleagues is made up of females, this was a topic of discussion this morning - cue lots of moaning whilst chomping on a packet of crisps wondering why/how they got so fat...

People can do as they please but it's when you get people who blame ads on TV and other influences that prevent them from losing weight - they have that choice. No one of forcing them to eat against their will.

Suppose the sun shines out of your arse does it!!

Get a life!
And yours too for being a tt? It's just a topic of discussion, it would seem some of you are as sensitive as some people discussing religion.

This thread has certainly grown arms, legs and the rest.

My original post was not an intention to slag off anyone with a weight problem, if (some of you) would read it properly, it's just about people not believing there are simple choices people can make to their lifestyle which would help aid with weight loss if it started to edge towards obese levels.

It's certainly not (always) going to be possible for those who may not be able bodied to do any exercise which I can sympathise. But for those who are physically capable but continue to go down a path of eating to excess and somehow not accepting that they are indeed responsible I do not agree with.
