[Deja Q]

1. Convince people to get thin.

[BlooInBloo]

2. Impossible. There's nothing fat people can possibly do to be thinner...

I know this because DUers say so.

Why do you hate fat people?

[gateley]

4. Nonsense - there's plenty they can do

beginning with getting a decent paying job so they can afford fresh fruits and vegetables, instead of only having enough coin for Mac 'n Cheese or a McDonald's double cheeseburger (99 cents - the same price as one orange). I don't know what their problem is. :eyes:

5. Very important point. Fattening foods are often more affordable.

And besides, I don't see why one should be judgmental about others' weight in the first place. Even if it might be in some ways a "lifestyle choice" (that's debatable, though), what concern is that of yours?

3. Convince HypnoToad to lose the warts, and I will then get thin.

Geez.

6. "Obese Population Rises"

Don't you mean "Obese Population Expands?"
