    I agree with your points about medical resources being taken up, but that doesn’t change the fact that a fat trucker isn’t going to give me heart disease by eating gross junk in my presence. My niece, however, did die of lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke so I apologise if I had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the smoker example but it is a horrible way to go and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

    I never once said that overeating isn’t a problem, a considerable number of people do have a problem with that. I agree with you that more should be done to combat obesity caused by overeating, like making junk food less of a convenient option. Maybe even healthy ready meals for people who work long shifts and just want something easy.

    We can’t tell someone’s history from their waistband. Mistreating people based off assumptions is just bad manners and treating your fellow man with basic courtesy isn’t liberal ffs
