Being anorexic and obese is mostly connected to having an eating disorder which is a MENTAL ILLNESS....it is NOT by choice that someone DECIDES to be anorexic or obese. When you laugh at an obese person, you are more than laughing at someone with a mental disability. Note: I am not saying obesity is caused by eating disorders, but saying that it generally is the case.
I believe that it is out of sheer ignorance when someone tells an overweight person to just exercise or go on a diet. It's like telling a crazy person to stop being crazy or a depressed person to get happy or a suicidal person to not kill themselves...etc... What makes them think that cruelty is going to frighten them into losing weight? O.O
When an anorexic is shown, I see rude remarks, but not so as much as for obesity. Mainly, the remarks relay pity and sympathy and disgust rather than hatred that's shown to overweight people.
So, what's going on, America? Do you prefer to be ignorant and exclude the majority of obesity cases as a result of mental illness? Or this is not at all what you do and I have it all twisted? If you want to admit this is what you do, I will hold nothing against you...just want to hear some thoughts about it...
