2. People still falsely assume that fat is a choice,

when its actually more complicated than that. There are often health issues that cause it, not just the other way around. And fat isn't always correlated with health as in there are healthy large people, and unhealthy thin people out there too.

And assholes still think that they are allowed to share their opinions on how others look or choose to live their lives when its not OK. I suppose size is more apparent to a stranger than other things like sexual orientation, income, or political views. And it would be obviously idiotic to condemn someone's height or hair color as a bad example for our youth.

3. Thinking (and stating) that "fat" is a choice

is really a mirror whereupon the detractor displays that "stupid" is a choice as well.

4. Surprised that DU allows this thread.

They sanction people for even making a general reference to being overweight.

5. ....is where it's at

Millions of years of evolution made being overweight a survival tool. Fifty years of media brainwashing and profit driven healthcare made it unfashionable.
Another fifty years of climate change and its associated food shortages will make it come back in style, as all the skinny people will have starved to death.

...and after having three children and the stress of a job and raising children, this lady deserves a pass.

To bad she couldn't say, "Kiss my fat ...." on TV
