some people are racists, some are elitists. some people are fattists.
while you've never considered yourself a person who discriminates against others, you might be in danger of becoming a "fattist."
a fattist is a term coined to describe people who are prejudiced against overweight people.
you know, people who complain about obese people taking up too much room on airplanes, lapping over from their seat into yours.
they also roll their eyes when they see overweight people in line at the grocery store with a basket full of twinkies and powdered doughnuts.
if you are a fattist, you might be the type who always points out fat people in the mall, or wonders out loud how they poured themselves into those jeans.
here's a simple test to see if you might be a fattist:
if you won't sit by a fat person on a bus, you might be a fattist. if you avoid all-you-can-eat restaurants, you might be a fattist.
so fattists make fat people feel bad about their extra weight by pointing, snickering, sneering and laughing about other people's appearance.
unfortunately, it's counterproductive. it only makes overweight people feel worse about themselves and they instinctively do what fat people do best — eat.

i think all fat people should be put in special "farms" where they can be properly cared for, rather than just running loose in society.
"running" and "loose" are terms that don't really belong in this thread.
