[quote=Anonymous]Being too thin or too fat is a health concern. Is it anyone's place other than a doctor's to point that out to a person who is either too fat or too thin? I'd say no. Fat people tend to get comment that are slurs or that otherwise impugn the person's moral fiber. Thin people tend to get comments of concern, either about physical health or mental health. A concerned comment beats a slur everyday, but really neither is appropriate. OP's view that fat people get a pass, but thin people do not, really does not seem to correspond to what fat people experience everyday. And I say this as the mother of a daughter whose BMI is below anorexic level owing to a health condition. (Yes, exception to the above, mother here ranks with doctor in getting to express concern.)[/quote]
