[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were wrong OP, and as a parent I'd be really angry at you if you talked to my child that way. You DID fat-shame that woman.

FYI, I am on medication that made me gain 35 pounds and significantly slowed down my metabolism. My best friend is super skinny, though she never works out. I can run rings around her, lift more than she can, etc. We go food shopping together a couple of times a month and I assure you that I eat healthier than she does.  Being "fat" does NOT equal lazy slobs.

What I've said to my kids is that people look all different ways, and [b]we judge people[/b] on their personalities rather than their looks.[/quote]

1. Medication that makes you gain weight is not a comparable situation to being morbidly obese. There are many reasons why someone might weigh 300+lbs (and income/education can have huge roles in this) medication, however rarely is the sole culprit so your "experience" here is irrelevant. 
2. I would be incredibly angry with you if you told my child it was ok to judge people at all. [/quote]
