As someone else has stated already, unless you have a medical condition, there is no excuse for obesity. It shows laziness. And laziness is a trait passed on to the younger generation. Its why we hear about childhood obesity so much. And they're saying now, that despite advances in modern medicine, for the first time the younger generation is NOT expected to outlive their parents. Why? Obesity!
If my remarks come across as insensitive, tough s---.

Now THAT is not fair. If these girls get upset it should be that THEY don't like the idea of being overweight and not because someone stated the obvious about them.
An insult is only an insult when the tone is insulting. The waiter used the description of fat only to easily remember which table the food went to. If he stood at the table and said, "Gawd, you people are fat!", THAT would've been an insult.

I have no doubt now why the world is headed down the crapper.

If they were related or friends of mine, of course I would feel for them. But I would help them and do all I could to help them shed the weight, if that is what they truely wanted.

Screw all that. If I'm a business owner I wouldn't want some smart mouthed opinionated moron working for me insulting the customers which threatens the business and my lively hood.
Take that back to the pubescent school yards where it belongs....
I love it how so many self proclaimed supposedly "Enlightened/intellectual people" come crawling out of the woodwork and show their true nature.
Oh
Wait
But we are talking about Fat people.....!
So it's ok
Pathetic.
Is it wrong to try and get people to turn their lives around? These women were offended, so they knew it held a certain truth. They might go on to lose the weight and live a healthy lifestyle now.
Should we sit and let these people eat themselves into an early grave? By the way you veiw the world, we obviously should. Disgraceful.edit on 10-12-2012 by DAZ21 because: (no reason given)

3 people get offended because someone was truthful in using their most obvious feature when writing a mental note to keep track of who is where.
No wonder the world is going down the crapper.

That sounds like non-sense to me.
Intelligient people rip on less intelligient people all the time!
Everybody uses or has used insults so does that mean all of humanity is dumb?
I'm going to look up those studies and see for myself...
You know some of the ugliest outsides are filled with beauty that is what life has taught me. The outside is the package we are in. If we don't make an effort to look past what personally find repulsive in others that I think we are the ones losing out. The actions and the heart of anyone should be what matters.
