I used to be a bit of a big dude, not morbidly obese but bigger than I wanted to be. It was the first thing I thought about in the morning when I'd look in the mirror and that last thing I'd think about getting undressed to go to bed. Telling a fat dude he is big and needs to lose weight is like telling a cloud the sun is hot and lives above the earth.
Body shaming is lame anyway; everyone is sacred. Some people just live differently, and have their own lives to live. All in all they are still human; regardless of your ethos.
If you have a problem with the use of our tax money, protest against our military and prison industrial complex instead... that's just my opinion, man.

Yeah it's odd that he says that as if that's a desirable physique. That's well into anorexia/concentration camp territory.

How can you see someone that fucking big and not say something to them? It's not normal.
It's a gutsy thing to do and if your heart was in the right place of really wanting to be helpful, then why not. You're right, the guy is headed for a dead end soon at that size.

I'm not the biggest fan of fat people, but how do you know they aren't on a medication that increases their appetite or causes them to gain weight? Oops. Same goes for the OP that said it "effects (sic) the taxpayers, environment, animals, etc."

Congratulations man. I feel you. Being that fat is not normal.. Never was, never will be.
When it gets to the point when you go from happy to sad because you see a huge dude with a cart full of shit, it's encroaching your territory. Just like when a drunk starts yelling at you. When you're so fat that you fuck up my mood, I'm gonna say something.
For those who think it's not his fault, fuck off. McDonald is force feeding him. Its his fault. Just like a coke addict, nobody shoving that shit up his nose. I drink too much, its my fault, not Jack Daniels', its me.
Its visual pollution at this point. It's disgusting, it's practically second hand smoke. Then you have these assholes like Megan Treynor singing songs about how being fat is OK... It's not, don't encourage them.
You're tax money is gonna go towards them at some point. You have the right to bitch. You should bitch. It is your duty to bitch.
But then again, I'm a fucking psycho

Also, they don't exercise enough. Lots of fat adults were fat as children and they can thank their parents for getting them in horrible eating habits.
How the hell can so many children be fat today? When I was young there was maybe 1-2 fat kids in my entire grade school.

If you seen my body you would treat me like I was normal, you can look at the fucking 'averaging charts' that say im slightly underweight all you want.
Which may be true to some extent, but to look at my naked body you would call me a God.

BMI is shit. Can Google for yourself why.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think it's important to treat people civilly and like human beings. I'm aghast sometimes when I see super morbidly obese people on scooters at the grocery store , with oxygen tanks, or even missing a foot from diabetes - and see that their cart is filled with junk. I just feel sad for them because it seems like it's a miserable existence and they're slowly killing themselves. Nonetheless, they deserve to be treated with as much respect as anyone, I really do feel for them, unless they're inherently selfish obnoxious fucks who expect everyone to bend over backwards for them with no hint of gratitude.
There's a huge lack of education, a lot of people have 0 concept of basic nutrition and even people who think they're eating healthy do not grasp how much they're eating - and many are not eating balanced diets, regardless of whether or not they buy organically grown shit and eat almond butter. I don't think it's okay that society is starting to accept obesity, it's the leading cause of death(or complications from it), it strains the healthcare system and infrastructure that requires time and money to accommodate the increasing amount of super-obese. I don't hate people for being overweight, but I hate that a lot of people are complacent about the upward trend of obesity.
rant :
Additionally, I get that some things can make it harder to lose weight, I get that metabolism differs(only slightly, we're talking a few hundred calories), I get that some medication can make people hungrier. But so many people just use nothing but excuses, so many people claim they have thyroid issues, but it's not nearly as prevalent as people would suggest(including all underlying causes of hypothyroidism about 4.6% of the population have it)- and they never acknowledge or complain about other problems and symptoms that come with it. Ultimately it still all comes down to calorie intake, and a slow metabolism will take you down a few hundred calories to maintain your weight, you're not going to get fat off air and kale like people seem to imply.
I have an auto immune disease that is actually slowly destroying my thyroid, making it essentially non-functional - it's not the only thing that can cause an underactive thyroid but including other causes, only about 4.6% of the population is actually diagnosed. A lot of hypo-thyroid people are not overweight, and there's a lot of other symptoms that cause problems. It also has made me go from an overactive thyroid to a useless damaged one, and at first it made me gain weight easier than I was used to - I stayed within a healthy bmi range, but it also made me too tired to be as active as I was before I was medicated, and I had to eat around 1200-1300 calories to avoid gaining weight - and it sucks.
You know what also sucks, that no one seems to mention? It's incurable, it increases my risk of other autoimmune problems like lupus, it slows my heart rate, brain function, it made my hair fall out and made me unbearably cold all the time, it causes depression and extreme fatigue, and when it doesn't get treated and gets to the last stage it can kill you via heart failure, or a myxedema coma which has a 100% mortality rate. Luckily, when it's treated you can lead a normal life with no reduction of your natural life-span.
And luckily the meds are dirt cheap even without insurance, so it really aggravates me when I someone I know claims to have an underactive thyroid when I see them eating constantly, and when they have no other symptoms which normally cause people to seek medical care. And if they do have a thyroid issue, regardless of what is causing it, it is easy and cheap to treat once you finally get the medication right.

Your bmi indicates you're quite underweight. It doesn't mean you're anorexic, and a lot of people who are "naturally skinny" do just eat what they want, but what they want is not enough to make them gain weight. There are health risks with being underweight, and there are more risks than someone who is slightly(and I mean slightly, not obese) overweight.
You also might have hyperthyroidism or graves disease. I went from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism, and the former is more dangerous, it speeds everything up and it is not healthy for you heart - hypothyroidism will give you heart failure if it's severe enough and not treated, but it'll take a longer time and people who are hypo usually seek medical care sooner.
