You're mean to me all the time. You're also mean to fat people.
I'm going to send a flaming alligator to your house.
Love,

You hate fat people? Wow. Why? This actually can't possibly be true.
And, I happen to know that you are a secret Neil Diamond fan. Admit it, you have "Cracklin' Rosie" on your Ipod thing-a-ma-jig, don't you?

Gosh! I'm a bit jiggly lately, do you hate me? Zed is rather corpulent, also.
I don't have a flaming alligator, but I could feed Gracie some beans and have her fart at you. That would work.
Thai Thai is not a favorite??? you're so funny queso.
I'll forever humm the "fat person theme" you broke out on us outside puka dog. i think p peed herself laughing that day.
i could be wrong, but i'm thinking he means obese or, to put a finer point on it, morbidly obese. i think, at least for some people, fat hatred stems from a fear of becoming just like the hated, much like some people hate homosexuals; they have a fear of some latent gayness lurking inside.
before you judge, no one can possibly hate fat people more than my dad. he has a fantasy in which he is standing on a high pedestal in a silo, whipping giant, naked fatties as they run in circles around him.
Issues...deep-seeded issues. I've been thinking a lot about this since I read this post. Do you really mean you hate lazy people?...or sloppy people?...or people who let their fat hang out from under their shirts? Please clarify. I can't sleep at night thinking you really hate people just because they happen to have packed on the pounds.

wow - lot's of commentary. i love it.
first, it says /dislike, not hate. in fact i don't really hate much. that was the first thing that came to mind... so to clarify and make broader, i don't like when people don't take care of themselves. one glaring way that happens is when people get giant. not a little heavy, flabby, but, giant.
it is definitely a shortcoming on my part. i have trouble realizing obesity as a disease, not that it's not. i immediately view it as 'just stop eating so much.' i'm not going to type myself into the corner either, if you don't like it, create your own list and put me in the people you dislike category. if you're giant, you're on my list.
Well, gee, don't get Shnarky!
Funny how every body reacted to that, though!
i agree. no snarkieness here. all in fun.
But i'll take up the role of keeping the list you don't want to be on.
I am officially creating a list called "Giant People." If you're on it, you better hit the treadmill. Or else.
Last night I was watching a program about morbidly obese people.
It's horrifying! It definitely is a sickness. They say there is no cure and very little hope for these people. It's survival gone wrong. Doctors think that these people don't produce a hormone called lepton and can't tell when they are not hungry. They also feel that it is a horrible addiction because food produces dopamine and these people don't have enough receptors to get enough.
Richard Simmons does a lot of work with the morbidly obese.
I think that I ever got nearly that big, I would want someone to just kill me.
I just make lists. I don't kill.
i had a wave of fatphobia wash over me at the jewel yesterday. everyone around me in the refrigerated section, including a little girl sitting in a shopping cart fondling a bag of cheetoes, was obese. i turned left: fatties. right: fatties. i was dodging fatties loading up on frozen godknowswhat to get to the jumbled mess of veggie meats. all the while i thought, must... get... to... y....
P,
If you think the jewels is bad, stop by Tony's on Elston sometime.
Peace and love to all sizes,
TomatoFace
