Do fat people really need someone to blame for being fat?

If you have a medical reason for being overweight or if you simply get offended by people saying that you eat too much and run too little; do not read this article. It’s full of truth and will probably make you feel bad… depression can make people fat so do not read this article if you think you're fat because of reasons beyond your control.

...

Blame the governor for people being fat. It is all Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fault. If he would only tell people that they get fat when they eat too much food and that they get fat when they eat food they don’t know anything about (give me a break). Blame the restaurants, blame the TV, the commercials, the couch (recently heard a commercial where a couch tries to seduce a fat woman to sit down after work but her friend “saves” her).

I know, blame the President. It’s all Bush’s fault because he just can’t seem to keep people from shoving too much food into their faces. But please, whatever you do, do not, you just can not blame the fat people themselves. It’s up to everyone else in the world to tell fat people what they are eating, because, let’s just face it folks, fat people are too stupid to realize what they are eating and they are being tricked right and left by restaurants who make fat people sit down at tables and fork over their money while those same restaurants shove unhealthy food down fat people’s throats.

Not only do they shove it down their throats, they make it available, easily available, so that when they do sucker a fat person into their doors they can hold a bowl of Jell-O over their nose and pour gravy in their mouth for 35 seconds. It’s called gravy boarding and every fat person knows no one can allow that type of torture.

It’s not choice here; fat people don’t have a choice. They don’t know what they are doing they are ignorant and it’s all your fault. It has to be someone else’s fault.

Hey David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding and Additional researcher Lauren Murrow, how about telling people to take responsibility for themselves? You make it sound as if fat people are stupid and just shove anything in their mouths believing that someone would have told them if it wasn’t healthy. Fat people have to take responsibility for themselves.

I know your argument; this will help fat people make better decisions. This will help them help themselves. No it won’t. If it was going to help, then the fat person would be on a diet and NOT EATING OUT AT ALL. That’s taking responsibility for themselves. They wouldn’t have time to read your stupid nutritional listings because they would be out running and wouldn’t be so obsessed with food. Find some real answers and stop babying people.

If they choose to go to a restaurant and eat way too much food, then that’s their choice. I guarantee that you and people on your cause would be the first people to sue if a restaurant banned fat people…yet it’s easy for you to blame the restaurants for people being fat.

If we are going to start laying blame around, people writing that it’s the restaurants’ fault for making people fat are the ones behind the push for fat people to feel as if they are victims and thereby they feel they are victims and only continue their unhealthy ways.

Ultimately, you have some great information in your article. But let’s face it kids, fat people can only blame themselves and it doesn’t matter how much information they have, everyone knows that a double cheese burger with extra cheese and mayo is not healthy…especially if you are fat.

One thing for sure…there are many, many fat people out there. You’re writing a book that panders to them. Oh you say you are trying to help them but they already know. Just like the person who coughs up a lung after their first puff of a cigarette, they know that it isn’t healthy. Every fat person who eats a hamburger knows they are killing themselves. Blame everyone so that fat people will buy your book and you can take advantage of the fact that they want to feel like victims. You’re helping them all right, saying: “It’s the restaurants’ fault, give me $20 and I’ll tell you why.”
