It's kind of an odd case
Like many of us on here, I occasionally see someone morbidly obese heaving their sweaty, wobbling arse onto the tube and I am disturbed by it. It's not a pleasant sight. Part of me feels sorry for them, and suspects there's some tragic back-story of poor self-esteem and metabolic problems that led them to balloon in this fashion. But the other part of me wishes they'd consider the enormous moment of inertia they're causing about one side of the carriage and STOP EATING.

What I don't do, however, is go and punch them in the face. I don't know who that Honda Accord driving type was that attacked that fat woman, but he was probably taking it a little bit too far.

My friend did suggest that we should have a campaign to "poke the obese" until they take some sort of action to shift their weight. Or we take the Family Guy approach of following them around playing a Sousaphone behind them.

I think a Viz top tip put it best:
"Overweight people - stop giving into the temptation to 'just have a little bit' of that chocolate cake/pack of crisps/barrel of biscuits by not buying the fucking thing in the first place."
