Do they affect you in any way? Do they affect your day to day? Yes.  They are ugly and disgusting looking.  They shamelessly encroach on your airspace when you are forced to sit next to them on transit and especially in airplanes.  For those of us that live in countries with healthcare, they squander healthcare resources with their PREVENTABLE ILLNESSES WHICH ARE DUE TO THEIR OBESITY.  WE PAY TAXES for their unnecessary healthcare expenses.  This money could be spent on something else, like better education for idiots like yourself.  I could go on. Fuck off with your fat-sympathy, fatty-lover.  You are part of the problem, and people like you enable fats to ruin their lives and the lives of everyone around them.
