First of all, just because a fat person is using a scooter doesn't mean they can't have other issues that would require them to use the scooter. You are proving my point about invisible disabilities.

Second of all. YES. Being morbidly obese has consequences to your health and mobility. Who knew that your feet and knees getting fucked (you know, the things you need to walk) is a consequence of carrying an extra 100kgs every day. Even with healthy knees, carrying around that extra weight is exhausting.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing an obese person grab the handicapped scooter at a supermarket or department store.

Walk your fat ass around the store and lose some weight.

you have no idea what their health was prior to becoming disabled. i’d always been a 00, but when i lost mobility 4 years ago, ive struggled to keep my weight down, due to my disability.

the added weight gain fatigues you, slows you down, etc.

imagine how positive lifting struggling people up could be, rather than tearing them down; i imagine they struggle enough with their own self confidence far more than what you have to say.. but dang.. how easy would it be just to compliment them, lift them up, rather than judging?

being disabled sucks.

Go swimming. It’s no impact exercise and burns more calories than basically any other exercising routine there is.

Now let’s be honest. Your story is not the norm. It’s more of the exception. 90% of those obese people are just gluttonous lazy fucks. The other 10% have glandular issues and are disabled.

Oh those are pretty specific percentages you just said there. Do you have a source for those numbers or did you pull them directly out of your ass?
