Wow! That post was beyond ignorant.

There are plenty of medical conditions which cause people to gain inordinate (and unhealthy) amounts of weight. Hypothyroidism, Cushing's Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome just to name a few.

You've managed to cast aspersions on people whose medical condition you don't know and are, apparently, too shallow to give a damn about, because they don't look the same as you.

But they don't have to stick it in my face.

Also, I never said I hated them or even disliked them. Nausea is something over which I have very little control.

Medical conditions may account for a few, but the rest of them became fat the old fashioned way.

Though to be fair, there are no conditions where weight is unmanageable. Some conditions merely require more discipline than others, though with a little effort a person can find a comfortable equilibrium in their diet almost anywhere in the calorie range.
