Delusioned

Okay, this might come off the wrong way, but this is a bit of a rant, too.

I hate overweight, unfit, people claiming they deserve to be represented, too. That’s just bs. You’re overweight because you’re lazy. There is absolutely no scientific findings linking obesity to genetics. Your obese “genetically” because that’s “how you were brought up.” Your lack of knowledge is what made your kids fat, not McDonald’s. Being fat, in my eyes, is a lifestyle choice I feel people shouldn’t expect special treatment for. You should have to buy two plane seats if you’re unable to fit into one.

I’m sorry if I sound hostile towards fat people. The simple fact is obesity is not genetic, it’s personal choice. I think it’s complete bs that we, the healthy, have to put up with this on top of excessive health care costs because of these obese people requiring additional treatments.

In all this “hostility” don’t get me wrong. If you’re overweight and wish to (genuinely) loose weight, I’ll give you all the help and direction I can. However, don’t expect me to respect or even accept your obesity. It’s a self-inflected health disorder. Like a common cold, it needs to be irradiated.

Now, this brings me to an interesting article by the UK’s Telegraph. See, in the UK they have free health care; however, obesity is causing an issue with it now. As noted above, obesity causes a lot more health problems than just being overweight. These problems require additional treatment which costs additional money. So much that doctors, actual professionals, are calling to allow them to deny treatment to fat people. I already give my scope on this, but as I said over there, I’m biased — I’m healthy.

What’s your input on this? Either one  — the article or just being fat.
