I guess we have learnt enough to know you cannot blame people for their sexuality, or their inability to come out of poverty without external help, etc. But see a fat person and its open season to make all kinds of value judgements without knowing the root cause of their obesity.
Partly its because there's this huge "health" industry that encourages the blame game by pushing out messages like if you were to just try a little harder, you would be lean and fit too. But thats just BS, people should educate themselves and try to understand the near impossibility of losing weight and keeping it off on a long term sustained basis.
