I should have been more specific and say that I do not have no sympathy for fat people who are fat because they just don't care and eat crap and then complain it's Burger King's fault...

Yeah, that's just plain ignorance and has little to do with being fat because they'd have that same train of thought with anything in life. e.g., "Nothing is my fault", always looking for someone to blame, entitlement, passing the buck, etc. There's not an epidemic of obesity in the US, there's an epidemic of people not willing to take responsibility for their own lives and choices. If you're fat or poor or whatever your hang up may be, there's usually no one to blame except for yourself, rare and unusual circumstances aside. And I say this as someone that is insulin resistant (PCOS) and with horrific genes that leave me wide open for all the worst diseases. But the fast food I ate through my teens years while sitting in front of my computer 12 hours a day did not help at all. And after losing a good amount of weight, I know that I am in complete control of my body and it's not McDonald's fault.
