Um..
First off, not all that many people are educated in fatty food= bad for you. An awful lot of people still think that it's government scaremongering, in the same way that people used to think that smoking was good for you. The majority of us on b3ta are from the middle classes, and therefore lucky enough to be able to make informed choices.

And yes, they are eating beyond what is required, which in the big scale of things is bad for the environment.

But what I don't get is why this is such a big deal. I smoke- this is stupid, and bad for me. But because I'm thin people don't find me disgusting for doing so. Why is it that fat people are thought of so badly, when ultimately they're indulging a vice same as any of us?

It's not your place to criticize people who have done nothing directly to hurt you, just because you disapprove of them.
