As long as I know in the near future there will be "anti-obesity genetic shots" I'm not going to apologize for being fat.
It's not my fault I don't have access to a 5 second shot that could fix my genes because I was born in a generation that was on the cusp of discovering anti-obesity gene therapy.
Seeing the spinal cord story on HN today was proof enough for me that such a shot will be available in this century. I hope I can live to see it work wonders, but if I don't, I won't be too bummed out, either. I hope that made sense.
She states that she was once a "good fatty" which she describes as "They mostly only eat healthy foods. They are fitness fanatics … Their bodies are strong and able … the poster fatties for Health at Every Size because they hold up under scrutiny." ... then immediately after she describes how a patch of ice left her bed ridden for 2 months and in pain for at least 9.
I used to be obese and I've lost over 100 lbs. Even at 220lbs, when I was already down over 50 and eating very healthy, I was by no means a "good fatty."

As someone who has lost over 60 pounds of weight in less than a year, I find these excuses disgusting.
The time it takes to justify (and write articles) about your health issue could have been spent extending your life and improving its quality.
