Lol no wonder she has issues. "thanks for putting up with our daughter. Here's some cash"
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

What she gave up on was the idea that she had to be thin to be beautiful.

You know, I know you're gonna ignore me again, and that's cool, but why is it that the world must change to find overweight people attractive?  I don't think anyone's ever said we should put them in camps. or suggesting they not be able to vote or legally work, or anything absurd like that.  And, Internet comments on generalities notwithstanding, no one, afaik, is communicating abuse directly at any person in any form they're likely to see or hear it.  (And fwiw, I've seen pictures of you, I think we all have, and we know you're not fat.  So it also involves no indirect personal attack.)

So, no is denying the right of fat people to exist.  I think the bottom line is that the majority don't think fat people are as attractive as thin people, including (hypocritically or not) other fat people.  I dunno what kind of change you want to see in people, short of "You know, it turns out I do prefer women who are heavy."  Which is, in my opinion, a bridge much too far.

Incidentally, I gotta say that based on anecdotal evidence, a lot of situations where people can't lose weight despite "trying" does not come from genetics, or even laziness, but actual ignorance of what is and is not healthy.

Unfortunately, as I said before, losing weight and overally improving one's health requires a considerable shift in life style and (unless you are willing to hire a personal chef) a considerable amount of work - something a lot of people are unable or unwilling to do. So they think that if they buy a "healthy" salad at McDonald's or a ready made "health-option" meal at Tesco (or starve themselves with low nutrition food) they are actually trying to lose weight - and then act all surprised, give up and/or blame genetics when this does jack shit.

And let's not forget that in many places healthy food options come with a price tag - or are even unavailable (e.g. a small town with a couple of Tescos/Walmarts, and no farmer's market).

I dunno, my diet is pretty easy to maintain with stuff bought at the corner store (which admittedly stocks vegitables). I'm a terrible cook and hate cooking, so everything has to be easy.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't specific enough, but I wasn't exactly saying that a rich urban lawyer in Canada lives according to what can be seen as a standard. :P

I think you're pretty off-base to say that food you buy at a Wal-Mart must necessarily be unhealthy.  They've got a lot of vegetarian items, for example.

Well you are visiting pro-ana websites.

Anyway, I don't have an issue with the idea that perhaps people should find fat people attractive. After all, we're going to need to if America is going to continue. :D
