Like it or not, people are judged by their appearance.
While you do not really have a choice regarding some things, like your skin color, or you are balding, etc., but most people DO have a choice with regards to their food and exercise choices.
Having said that, it is easy to dismiss fat people as lazy, and careless. The idea that you cannot even take care of yourself, means, to employers for example, that you can not take care of anything.
True or not, fat people, like some ethnicities, will always be frowned upon, and looked down at, by those around them.
On the other hand, there are guys who prefer fat chicks, and there are girls who like big teddy bear types, so nothing is in stone.
Given the choice however, I believe most people would prefer to be thin, which explains why the weight loss business is a multi-billion dollar industry.
