I fear my mom is Ham Sympathetic So today is the day I head back home after visiting my parents and my mom comes over to me while I'm browsing this page. She asks me, "What is your issue with fat people?" So I give her the rant; they don't care for their bodies yet my taxes pay for what they've done to themselves, they make the wrong choices and I would rather find the humor in their slow deaths than help them. My mom's response, "Well that's not a good thing, you know one day you won't be thin anymore--" "SAYS WHO??!?!?"  My mom and I fought for a few minutes and she says "Not every one is choosing a side, you can still have an active life style and not hate fat people". My response , "Tell me again what killed grandma, she was heavy and had a heart attack.  She killed herself as these fatties are killing themselves. If dad doesn't push you to exercise everyday you would be the same and probably would have died while I was growing up.  So yes, I hate fat people, they squander the life they are given and we are left trying to piece together the damage they leave behind." She was quiet and I guess that ended the conversation.
