Obese blamed for the world's ills:

Mmmmhm? So, I don't own a car, I walk or take transit everywhere, I recycle more than I toss, I watch what I eat and what I do eat, I TRY to buy local-to-at-least-Canada-if-not-Ontari-ari-ario, and while I'm not veggie/vegan, I don't eat a lot of meat. It's mostly grains and veggies.

And I'm still fat and therefore killing the planet.

.... did I miss the step where I'm supposed to magically become thin?

Ages old horse shit that still hasn't gone away. All overweight people are guilty of gluttony, which as you know is a cardinal sin. Forget medical and nervous conditions and slowing metabolisms and such. Excuses of the weak. Only the Thin shall inherit the Earth (It was a typo).

Personally, I think skinny people are generally unattractive and hard to snuggle with, even if I am just body conscious enough to worry about how much weight I've gained in the last couple of years.

It's something that I've been struggling with since grade school. I am built like a football player. This will NEVER change. It runs in my father's side of the family and I look just like my grandmother. My shoulders have been wide ever since I was in my mother's womb. They were so wide that the doctors commented on them a lot BEFORE I was born.

Of course, these are all just excuses in the general public's eyes. I'm conscious myself, but I get the feeling that it's probably all in my head. I suffer from the common female problem of having "fat days" and "skinny days", when I know that my wieght has been stable, if not dropping, since college.
