Do you think overweight people are treated fairly?

Of course they are treated fairly, you fat fuck.\n\nBut seriously, people will always judge you by your appearance. It is human nature. Furthermore, it is human nature to categorize people based on their appearnaces. As a result, there is racism, assumptions are made, and everybody is hurt. Or they ignore it and move on with their lives.\n\nOf course you could get off your fat ass and try doing something about it ;-)

I don't judge people by the way they look. A person being overweight would not make me not be attracted to him. If he is still able to get around and is active than it wouldn't be a problem for me. He would need to have a good personality, be kind, funny and nice. He would also have to have self respect and be respectful to others. Those are the things that are the most important.\n\n@--->---

i was really overwight a few years back. i wasn't ashamed, but some people, espeacially guys, kept on giving me craps.(i kicked their asses when i lost all those fat btw) i was more uncomfortable than ashamed...\nno, i wasn't any nicer than i am now... i think i just looked jolly like santa clause, that doesn't mean i wouldn't snap back when annoyed. i share the same philosophy with garfield the fat kitty...

If he or she is competent and does their job well, then appearance has nothing to with my respect.\n\nHowever, if they are lazy and inept, I'll be the first to MOCK their size. \n\nIt's relative....

I think it would be discrimination if you were qualified and they didn't hire you because you're overweight.  They could say they didn't hire you for another reason, and it might be hard to prove what the real reason was.

WE can't stop other people's compulsions. Obesity may be a global epidemic as you call it,but I think it is up to each and every individual to stay healthy and active and exercise and eat right. I see it as being a choice. These people choose not to do anything about it. That is their own fault...not mine. Many people that are obese are at higher risk of diabetes,heart disease,etc...these people don't even listen to their doctors half the time (in my opinion,of course) So,if they aren't willing to do anything about it,why should I concern myself?

Yes. What goes around comes around. When I was a cashier if people were unpleasant to me I would be unpleasent back. But if they were nice I was always nice to them. I always try to be positive and usually people respond by being nice to me.

You simply let them live their life and die. Most people do not wish to tolerate the healthy lifestyle that being average weight entails. It'll hurt their egos and make them feel bad about themselves when they cannot give up their food addictions. If you think they can, try to help them, but mostly likely you should let them live and die in their current state, apparently it was their path to take in this life.

hedzzzindahouse is right to an extent, I'm almost underweight and healthy but I think (most of the time) fat or overweight girls are more nice than skinny so most of the time I look for overweight people to date, most really skinny people think there "all-that", so I go for the other people, not necessarily "fat" girls, but not really skinny either (im not talking bad about skinny people , since, i am one, but alot of them ARE stuck-up, that Ive seen) but, just for the record, im not one of the ones who stuck-up.

When u are overweight or obese....not only is it physically unhealthy but mentally too...cause of they way people treat them...sometimes the more they think about it and are reminded of this the more depressed they get and try to make it all go away...so they are more than likely to try to starve themselves or end it all...scary but it's true...

Sometimes . Fortunately i don't have  any  weight problems, so i don't have to worry about THAT aspect.  I know that healthy eating has more to it. And i really  wish i could say  - yes, always. But... there are so many delicious things out there! And its  such a pity they are almost always unhealthy :)

Probably not, but judging by the way they can so easily put on and lose weight for certain videos, films etc. (e.g beyonce) they've just mastered the art of unhealthy dieting, which it seems you gotta do in the biz today.

I believe that malnutrition and overnutrition ARE health problems. Another impact that obesity may have on society is the absolute predjudice that people so casually express about overweight people...even in the workplace! How hurtful that is! It must make quite a negative effect on our society - which frankly is mostly made up of overweight people.

Personally, i think if you are overweight because of eating habits or it is your own fault, you should pay more for healthcare, or if you are in a country with free healthcare, such as Canada, (Canada has free but crappy healthcare) you will need to pay more taxes, until you become thinner. Fat people are a problem, only if it their own fault. Genetic fatness shouldn't be minded. But then they also fight for "fat peoples rights" ever heard of those? All those minority groups are pissing me off. Fat people should definetely be penilized. Also, off topic, but you know who gets the best job nowadays? Technically a fat black old lesbian disabled transsexual would. They get more rights than anyone!
