One thing I'd like to know is why it's not socially acceptable to bring up a fat person's weight and quiz them on it, but it's perfectly ok to walk up to a skinny person and say "wow you're skinny" "do you eat?" and "you must be a vegitarian, are you?"
Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer to be underweight and healthy, than overweight and healthy, but I find the double standard ammusing.

I've seen that also, I know one guy who is so skinny he is known as "Skinny" not by his given name, the thing is he eats and drinks like a fish and gains no weight whatsoever.
