And they are just piling on. How chivalrous. And standing up for a rude Santa. Absurd.

Too bad they have been indoctrinated in the idea of “it’s all your fault” when you’re fat. (But no-one says “wow, you take care of yourself” when you’re thin.)

Fatness is often a genetic issue. Some people just cannot get “normal”. Others cannot get fat (my father’s family is an extraordinary example of this, and I myself have partly inherited that). Some can lose weight easily but also gain back easily.

So we can gripe and self-righteously declare that fat people aren’t being good or working hard enough, but the truth is that is only half the picture.

“a rude Santa”

Yep, some of us get it.

I work with severely emotionally disturbed teens in a
residential Tx facility. Most of our kids have little
to no social skills and tend to lack filters of any
sort. Ive seen them get angry at larger sized staff
and really let the insults fly when all these adults
are trying to do is to provide the kids with some skills
that will serve them later. It’s not particularly
encouraging to me that so many FRiends support rude
behavior from a character who is supposed to be
spreading cheer.
