    As a fat person, 300lb+ lbs, i think its fine to call us out and make fun of us. Mostly we either dont give a shit and will do what we want, or might just be on the verge of change and 1 more person calling us out could jumpdrive our selfrespct enough in order to make a difference.

      I appreciate that. Personally, the photo kicks my sense of empathy into overdrive instead.

      I don’t see two targets of ridicule. I see two cases of metabolic syndrome,with type II and heart attacks waiting to destroy their bodies, and over 6000 calories of raw sugar in tow on wheels, because they’re too weak to carry their snack around. And they likely got there from self-medicating with food for what’s likely trauma, depression, and/or other mental illness. They need a rescue party.
