Slinky......I apologise unreservedly if I offended you by mentioning 'Stick' thin people.......it may cause you great anguish to be slim......however, I am sure you are comfortable in your own skin from the comments you have made in other threads.....people who are obese.....fat whatever you want to call it are exploited, they are made fun of, they are castigated for being the weight they are.....Whatever you say, fat poeple know they are fat..... and while you may not know it many are trying desperately to change the way they live, and with very little success. The media today portrays fat people as lazy and greedy........Slinky, they will never level that comment at you.
