princessdayz asked "I have a serious question, and please dont direct me to one of your health pages because I have read them all. OK so obesity is a SERIOUS problem. Obesity caused illnesses are one of the leading causes of death. Quality of life of an overweight person is severely decreased. The foods that overweight people overeat are LITERALLY killing them. Discrimination is WRONG and awful, but how do you justify this lack of concern in the health department?"

thisisthinprivilege If you’ve fucking read them all, then you fucking have the answer, don’t you, you fucking asshat? YOU ARE SIMPLY WRONG. ALSO, NOBODY ELSE’S HEALTH IS EVER YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. GO AWAY. -MG

naughtyconservative Apparently when you say that obesity is a problem, you are “SIMPLY WRONG” and cussed at by a child. Gah, I love reading this blog while having coffee in the morning. It’s so funny.

artetolife I’m curious - how can you be an “Ayn Rand enthusiast” and then say “obesity is a problem” — thus lumping every fat individual into a faceless group and using the word ‘problem’ as a weasel-word to indirectly mean ‘social ill’ because I’m pretty sure some stranger being fat has, ceteris paribus, no effect on you personally? Or are you suggesting that fat strangers should live for your sake and slim down because you would prefer them to be not so fat? How are you a Randian again? -ATL

naughtyconservative I really couldn’t care less who is fat or obese. You’re putting words in my mouth to fuel your agenda. Eat all you want and look how you want. I have other things to worry about. However, you cannot dismiss obesity as not being a problem. It’s extremely dangerous to be morbidly obese and can lead to many health problems. It ultimately becomes my business, and everyone else’s, when we have to help pay for their medical bills or surgeries. Rand and Objectivism isn’t even a part of this? But nice try there.
