You're all over the board here. First, you seem to suggest that making comments about fat people is some how racist or bigoted and now you're dragging alcoholics and druggies into the discussion to somehow make fat people seem less lazy?

As someone who has struggled with his own weight and health it pisses me off when the fat = lazy BS gets spewed.
And my initial point was, and still is, that people with wieght problems are viewed as less of a person. Same way various groups (blacks, Irish, etc.) have been viewed throughout history.
Are there fat people out there that are lazy slobs that would rather eat a bag of chips vs. get up and take a walk? You bet. However, people tend to paint with a broad brush.
