Just as you have prejudices against a certain race, or against a specific gender.(many people don't know this) There is a prejudice against fat people. Heaven forbid you use the word "fat" in public. someone might hear you you and report you to the 'Omigosh-you-said-fat-out-loud-police' Fat is not a social disease, its not an illness, and it sure isn't a choice. You think I would have chosen to be short, round and plump instead of being taller, skinny and lean? Of course not!But because I wasn't really given much of a choice(or really a choice at all) I have had to learn to first accept myself before I can allow others to accept me.[and to be honest I don't think I've done a bad job] How are we supposed to live in a country where everybody is supposedly"equal and just" but you still have people who hate others just for the fact that they are black or white,tall,short or even because they're fat?
