I know it seems like I have a problem with fat people, and I guess I kinda do. I have a complete lack of understanding for it. I'm not talking about an extra 50 lbs if you are a woman or an extra 75 lbs if you are a man. People put on weight if they aren't careful. I fight with a few extra pounds, too, when I'm not careful. I understand gaining a few. I don't think I would allow myself to gain 50 extra, but I can see how that happens if you are having a hard time with something in your life.
What I DON'T understand is being a hundred or three hundred pounds overweight. I don't watch everything I eat. I love to cook and eat. If I get too fat for my clothes, I stop chowing down for a month or two and exercise more. I don't know how someone can eat soooo much (if I eat what I eat and only gain 5 or 10 in a year, you have to eat a fucking elephant to gain hundreds of pounds) that they can no longer function normally.
If we are paying someone for a public service that involves our safety, we should maybe be able to have limits on the condition of their health.
