Being fat does not mean being unhealthy. Plenty of people are counted as fat by societal standards but aren't unhealthy. Being fat is also not a disease. Weight can cause health issues but that doesn't mean that someones health issues are necessarily caused by their weight.

It also is very much possible to gain weight without being able to stop it. You can't will yourself out of mental illness, as much as everybody say otherwise...

Also even if someone just is fat and that has caused health issues why shouldn't they get healthcare?? Aren't they part of the same society that everybody is contributing to? What kind of society is it where people can be blamed for their illnesses and told that they are an undue burden?? That's sick.

You have no clue what you're talking about and are just parroting what you got off 4chan or wherever. Sad stuff. Try thinking for yourself for a change.

You know, aside from that apnoea machine...
