You're willing to simply imply that these people don't exist making all disabled folks innocent. I'm not.

And this is where you need to reread my post.
The point was the difference between repeated actions leading to a cummulative, yet largely reversible result, versus a sudden event leading to an irreversible result. The first 2 situations you list reflect this without an opportunity to change after the insult. And diabetes and renal failure? I'll let you figure it out what the number one cause of both of those are (hint: it involves buffets), but you are supporting my statement.
Regardless, I'm not implying these people don't exist. But I am telling you that the % of disabled people you specify, relative to obese people, is absolutely minute in comparison. There are far more obese people than criminals/drunk drivers, in both incidence and life span. Obese people are invariably unhealthy, whereas the same is not true of the other group.
