I say the same thing in defense of smokers and drinkers. Why the fuck are people so pissed about our "bad" habits when statistically we are doomed to take a dirt nap before we can even dream of collecting social security? I think, however that fatties are different because most smokers and drinkers tend to get sick and die quick while fatties just have years of related expensive health problems. I realize that some smokers may linger with health problems but those are probably the ones who quit smoking before the full effect could be realized.

Maybe because no one ever died from secondary fatness or being run over by someone who had consumed too many ho-hos and got behind the wheel.
Jeez, this Board is obsessed with fat people!

a. I drink a lot and have excellent health. I also smoke from time to time and I can do 45 min on a treadmill at high speed with no strain at all. My blood pressure is low and my resting heart rate is @ 60-64 (when I'm not irate and it flies off the handle).

b. I never ever drive drunk, like 90% of those who partake. Secondary smoke is a fictional PC concept for the tofu frutitcake crowd of lifestyle police. You can smoke at my table whenever you like - hell, blow it right in my face while I eat. The sort of soft personality who imposes his health concerns on the rest of us is exactly the type who ought to be put on a barge to Antartica.

If you're going to say its wrong to rip on fatties, then its also wrong to rip on drinkers and smokers. A little consistency is in order, since without consistency, your position is hypocritical.
