You NEVER KNOW why a person appears unusually heavy.

There are certainly exceptions, but if you spend any time in a Walmart, start looking at what is in the carts of gravitationally-challenged people. It will answer a lot of questions.

“You NEVER KNOW why a person appears unusually heavy.

Sure, you can see people buying a lot of “junk food.”

Maybe the guy who sits at work all day but still eats three squares is “morbidly obese.” Is he less moral than my niece, who eats and then barfs? She is nice and thin.

Or my acquaintance, who eats lots of junk food, publicly and unashamedly, but is still thin for some reason.

You’d look at my niece or my acquaintance and think, hey, they are healthy, stable, normal, self-controlled people. But you would be wrong.

You’d look at the morbidly obese guy and say, “what a pig.” But maybe he’s not really a pig.
