She is one of the fat people you describe and it was not by a poor lifestyle choice. It is a medical condition. People with Diabetes (such as myself) taking insulin have had insulins that cause weight gain, so before you just judge fat people, consider the medical help they seek may just be to treat the DISEASE that caused the weight gain in the first place.
You know damn well I was talking about the people that eat too much of the wrong stuff and don't exercise...BUT .. you are right about the well know fault of generalities...so...if you are offended, I am sorry..
