Haters

I totally get the fact that Americans are overweight and some morbidly obese but those who are, do not need to be constantly reminded of it everyday. Hey! Fat people KNOW they are fat! They see it in the mirror everyday if they dare look. They do not need to be publically shamed! Whatever happened to compassion towards your fellow human beings? Just try walking in their shoes for a change. Yeah, some have eating disorders or a medical condition but think of those people and ask yourself, "Why?' Why are they using food as a crutch for comfort? Why do they feel a compulsion to eat constantly? Why are they in such emotional pain that this is the only way to deal with the pain? Instead of ostracizing them, embrace them, befriend them, and try to help and understand! We are, after all, humans first and foremost and we should edify each other; celebrate being alive and embrace fellowship! Quit being hurtful towards our own species! For all of those who have never had to struggle with a weight problem, quit being judgmental and hyper-critical! Quit being phobic around overweight people. Change your attitude. What about those individuals who are rail thin and complain about not being able to gain weight? What about those who starve themselves or vomit because they are afraid of what others will think of them? If Christianity is the majority of religion on the face of the planet, then there should be tons of compassion and less hatefulness in the world! Live what you believe for a change!
