I don't hate fat people. I hate people who blame everyone else for their problems and won't take responsibility for making their life a better one.

Kids aren't responsible for how they are brought up and so shouldn't be treated so shabbily by bullying etc. I've always been a 'big'girl and years ago while suffering with depression I became borderline obese and I know it's difficult to break bad habits.

I also know it's not always just a case of being greedy and food is sometimes used as a crutch for emotional problems but there are a large group of people out there that are dangerousley overweight and just don't want to do anything about it and everyone else has to eventually to pick up the peices when their bed bound or invalided.

Edit - I've always thought anorexia was not about food per se but about control. I saw a programme about it but I may have got the wrong end of the stick.
