Funny you say that. I have never met an overweight person that I did not like. What makes them so sweet, I don't know.....but they are. Oh, I'm sure there are some that aren't .......but for the most part I find myself smiling at every overweight person that I pass by on the street because I'm just pretty sure that they are one awesome person. With one huggable heart.
Really? I don't find heavy people that different than the rest of the population. Some good, some not so good. I had a really mean overweight science teacher in high school and at the same time a really wonderful overweight art teacher. They even looked a little alike. The science teacher made me cringe in fear, the art teacher I adored for being funny and encouraging. I admit I made fat jokes about the science teacher, but never, ever for a moment did I think such things about my art teacher. In todays society, I think someone has to be really overweight for me to even notice, most adults are carrying some extra weight around, it's become a norm. A business owner who insults overweight customers should find a new line of work that does not involve people - or maybe s/he should become a telemarketer.
We're all different, it's just avoirdupois that we have in common.
But yes, there are plenty of businesses that feel it's their right and duty to make overweight people feel like crap. As if I need to be reminded by some stupid ass minimum wage worker that I ate too much pizza last year.
Okay, rant over. Some day you'll hear the entire rant. Not until I'm further along.
