Would you choose to go on a plane piloted by someone who weighed over 300 pounds?

When I see a fattie, I figure their life is out of control, that their habits are greater than their character, and I just don’t trust them.

Author Greg Critser got the stimulus to lose a ton of weight and to write a book on fat because as he was leaving his car one day, somebody yelled at him, “Get out of the way, fattie!”

As Dennis Prager says, we’re not doing fat women any favors by only telling them how wonderful they look. Fat shaming has its place.

NYDailyNews.com: A Facebook page titled “530 Fatties” is drawing outrage after fat-shaming overweight or obese people in a California community.

The page, which labeled itself an “entertainment service” out of Yuba City, was reportedly taken down Monday after growing anger and upset while showcasing photos of people without their permission.

“Janyo is Japanese for makes you fat,” reads one photo showing a family dining inside a frozen yogurt café on June 27.

A screen grab of the page taken by CBS Sacramento blurred out the family’s faces. Otherwise, the victims and their family and friends were able to easily recognize them.
