Most of the time, your ridiculous looks are your own damn fault, and deserves ridicule. Yes, this includes fatness.

Fatness is the one I can't stand people getting upset about (as in, upset when people make fun of it). I'm fat, if anyone wants to take the piss then I'm fine with it. Sure, there can be situations out of your control - I, for example, do believe that my genes aren't helpful to my weight based on family members and anecdotal evidence, but at the end of the day if I really cared I'm perfectly aware that I could be skinny, I just happen to chose to eat great food, and too much of it, and do far too little exercise. If you mock me for being gay I might be offended, but for being fat.. that's my own damn fault, I know how to stop being fat but I don't care enough to do it, currently. If anyone wants to laugh at that, give a shit,

  I like to summarize all that with: No fat Somalians. People tend not to argue.

    Malnourishment can cause bloated stomachs you know.

      Yes. This is generally known. Few people will call a stick-thin figure with a bloated stomach fat, though.

  There are a couple reasons I DO have a problem with people making fun of 'fatness.' 1) It's a lot easier to get out of shape and overweight, than it is to get back into shape. 2) Being overweight can cause emotional problems that make it even harder lose weight. Laughing at someone worsens these problems. Having said this, I guess it's human nature. I find myself at times making fun of people (in my head) for how they dress or look. At least I'm trying to overcome that kind of thing, though. Doesn't seem like most people even recognize shortcomings/try to get better.

    It's easier to run any system improperly than properly. This is the case for all systems. It's not unique to the human body, and it's not unique to diet and exercise.
