Laughing at fat people might be the first step on the road to them losing weight.
---Yeah, that's real mature. Sounds like grade school bullies.And no, I am not overweight but I was taught better manners than to laugh at someone just because they are . Some of these same people that laugh and make their fat jokes are ugly as hell on the inside so who are they to judge. Flame on.
Ridicule not only doesn't work, it's cruel.
Those Chinese tourists who laughed at the fat woman were cruel and unbelievably rude. They knew that. They would never do that at home but they knew they could bet away with that "on tour."
Obese people know their problem. If they want to lose their fat they know what they have to do. The change in their life has to come from within them. It won't work any other way.
It's the same with alcoholics, gamblers, whatever, the change must come from within them. Nothing else works.
