I can see there'd be an element of truism in this, because anyone who's got control over weight and chooses to exercise it would not be obese. But really, you're telling me all obese people are addicts? And that we can't make fun of crack addicts?
If we treated crack addicts the way some people think we should treat obese people, it would be "Hey, it's not your fault your a crack addict and you're just as beautiful as a non-crack addicted person!", "We need more positive images of crack addicts in media!", "You should be comfortable in your crack-addicted skin!", etc. Sorry, I can't endorse that. Obese is gross. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you, and I don't see the value such lies.
