And what, if you have a medical issue that you "caused" yourself, that means you don't get special accommodations or treatment? Smokers beware - better not get emphysema, cause oxygen is reserved for those that didn't do it to themselves. Alkie whose liver is shot? No meds for you. Not paying attention when you're driving and you end up a quadriplegic? Scoot your ass around with your chin cause wheelchairs are only for those that didn't do it to themselves.
You know how many skinny fucking people I see eating fried food, fast food, high carb meals, drinking every night whose shopping carts are full of processed foods, and are on a list of meds that's longer than my arm? Or how many skinny people are on the dole, have kids in foster care, get free or reduced lunches, free healthcare, free or reduced housing, energy assistance and are in general, a drain to the system? Too many to count. But that's okay, cause at least they're not fat.
Just cause you're skinny (whether it's cause you were blessed with a high metabolism or good genes or cause you work out every day and think a treat is raw carrots), doesn't mean that you're any fucking better, healthier or less of a drain on the system than a fattie. What? You think fatties single handedly keep the junk and fast food, pharmaceutical and welfare industries in business? Think again.
The fucking ignorance and intolerance of some people is truly astounding. Just say that fat is gross, disgusting, hard on the eyes and scares you cause it's your worst fear to ever be considered fat. But don't fucking insult my intelligence by hiding behind 'not healthy' 'drain on the system' or best yet 'fatties have unhealthy children.' Jesus Christ.
Unless you're a murderer, rapist, kid fucker or other miscreant, you should have unrestricted access to whatever care you need, without being shamed or discriminated against. If that means some damn doors need to be widened, then so be it. I'm sure most of those people who need wider doors, or bigger beds, or vetrinarian scales to get weighed wouldn't begrudge skinny people getting treatment they need, even if meant some special accommodations needed to be made even if *gasp* it was something you caused yourself.
