I agree with your points about medical resources being taken up, but that doesn't change the fact that a fat trucker isn't going to give me heart disease by eating gross junk in my presence. My niece, however, did die of lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke so I apologise if I had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the smoker example but it is a horrible way to go and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I never once said that overeating isn't a problem, a considerable number of people do have a problem with that. I agree with you that more should be done to combat obesity caused by overeating, like making junk food less of a convenient option. Maybe even healthy ready meals for people who work long shifts and just want something easy.
We can't tell someone's history from their waistband. Mistreating people based off assumptions is just bad manners and treating your fellow man with basic courtesy isn't liberal ffs
Okay and how do you know if you're bullying one of the bad lazy fatties and not someone with, for example, PCOS or thyroid problems? You think those people don't have enough trouble without shallow shitheads harassing them for existing?
Basic human decency should not come with a weight limit.
Last time I checked, there's no such thing as secondhand calories. If I see a fat dude eating a burger, he's not harming me or anyone around him.
Also, making shallow judgements based just on appearances is shitty. You don't know if they've got thyroid issues or some other shit that causes weight gain. Ain't no disease that forces people to smoke either.
Labour's been getting steadily more Tory since at least Blair. I just didn't realise how bad he was until his government started stepping up the evil shit. Wish we had a viable left option.
Culture has fossilised. Nothing new is being made, just rehashes of the same "safe" shite because bigwigs know the stuff that already exists will make them that sweet, sweet money.
The only way to free ourselves is to stop consuming the overdone cash cow slop. If we don't vote with our wallets and make it not profitable for them, it will never stop. They'll keep regurgitating the same "remakes and reboots" until society collapses. Resist FOMO. Stop consuming.
