I hear a lot of people bitching about smokers but why doesn't anyone stop the fat people from eating?

Question:

Everywhere you turn now everything is non smoking which in part I understand but with the population so grossly overweight why doesn't anyone get upset at fat people for eating. Not to mention, teaching their children bad eating habits so they are fat children that turn into fat adults. I believe we are completely over looking what is really important...America is grossly obese for the most part but we choose to not say anything for fear of offending fat people. So, why is it ok to get upset at smokers when nicotine is an addiction but obesity is from lack of excercise and over eating?

Answers:
Good point and well said.

We're afraid to offend people about being fat and lazy and I just don't know why. I hate looking at fat people, they make me sick. And they usually smell too as they sweat too much.

We should start an anti-fat political party :-)

I just wanted to say you are so right and it couldnt be better said

I guess because some people have breathing problems & don't like to be around smoke.

because smokers put other people at health risks from second hand smoke. overeaters are only hurting themselves.

Fat people don't exude fumes from them that interfere with the breathing of others.
There is a problem with the parallel you constructed. Fat people also have glandular and metabolic problems. If they could change it, I am sure they would.

The tobacco lobbyists lost ground,
while the snack foods have gained?

i've always wondered that

Reality check: smoking and breathing second hand smoke causes lung cancer, which can cause death. If I do not choose to smoke but I have to breathe second hand smoke and I die from lung cancer, is it my fault because smokers have the right to smoke?

Similarly, how does an individual being obese hurt or harm your health? It doesn't, so you should not have any right to say anything to a person that is overweight. Obesity can be caused by several mental and physical factors, but of course, you probably already knew that. Your logic is so incoherent that I am somewhat amused by your argument and the lack of structure to it. Did you drop out of high school or are you selectively stupid?

I sign off warning you to never have to be fat, but when the day comes that you are fat, that people are mean to you as you are trying to be mean to them.

Everyone has the right to breathe smoke free air, as our air is already polluted enough. Your ignorance amazes me, while you compare two things that couldn't be more different.
Therefore, your suggestion that obese individuals be singled out for not causing you a health problem or contributing directly to your own death begs the question: what is your point?
Oh yeah, karma is a b*tch so get ready.

A fat person eating does not harm ME... breathing second hand smoke does... it's simple.. kill yourself with my blessing but dont kill me too... thanks...
