Non sequiter, genius.

Many injuries severe in ways that confine a person to a wheelchair are also going to reduce or eliminate entirely the ability to take proper cardiovascular exercise.

Of course they are fat. Many struggle to breathe or sit.

You played hookey during third grade biology, didn't you?

hardly a non sequiter
next time you pass a Wal mart stop and spend 10 minutes in the parking lot and then tell me obesity isn’t used as a handicap and that handicap plates aren’t given to people whose only problem is obesity. and then notice the obese people runningothers down in the motorized carts.

Dude this is NOT to malign people who have injuries that hinder their ability to exercize so get off you lil high horse. I think the obese people should be forced to park further away. At lreast they’d get some exercize and free up the nahdicap spaces for those who truly need it

this is to point out obese people get and use handicap placards.

Someone here did. You can get ZERO exercise and not be over weight. Overweight means your body is getting more calories than it burns. Period. If you get less exercise you need to eat less food or you get fat. IF you get fat it is because you ate too much. Period. Unless you have a serious metabolic disorder your body only stores EXTRA calories as fat. It is a self discipline issue for the person in chair just the same as anyone else. The only difference is their food 'limit' before getting fat is smaller. It is more math, calories in versus calories burned. Even struggling to breath burns some. Eat more than that amount and you get fat. Period.
