> ...and the reason we should make them feel bad is? > in your noble quest to make people who are fat "by choice" feel bad. If you're taking this personally, I don't shame anybody, and I don't spend time on "quests" centered on other people. I agree actually with you that people are responsible for their choice, and shaming them (as in "you're fat, ha-ha") is not a proper attitude. Regarding fat excess in itself (that is, disassociated from a given person), on modern times _and_ in western society, while in principle it may be risky as other activities, it's on a very large scale, so it's important to consider it as a serious problem.
