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 get that sometimes too as I am very underweight..especially when you hear this "so have you always been that skinny?"..this was said by two overweight people! i wouldnt ask them "so you have always been fat?"..plain rude...the scary thing is now that i'm almost in my mid 30's i'm starting to gain a little bit of a stomach but nothing else! god help me.
