Why do people feel it's ok to discriminate against and humiliate fat people?
Do people really think eating disorders are some kind of joke and do they really think that genetics plays no role in weight? Yes, lifestyle also plays a big role in this, but most diets truly don't work for the majority of the 'fat' population- that's a known fact. We all have a natural 'set point' that our bodies try to remain at. These are not just excuses, they're well-known theories that have been proven over time. What do you think? Is it alright to hate the obese and super obese?

4 AnswersAir Travel1 decade agoI've turned in a known crack dealer to the police several times...?

16 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoI got food poisoning from a local restaurant, can I sue?
I recently had lunch at a restaurant and got very sick for 2 days. I know it was from the lunch I ate because I wasn't sick that morning and hadn't eaten before that. If I had gone to the ER and tested positive for food poisoning, could I have sued the restaurant even though I suffered no permanent injury?
14 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoMy younger sister is a drug addict and I'm afraid she's going to die in the streets...?
I know that I can't enable her in ANY way by giving her money or even a place to live at this point because she's used me in the past to get money for drugs and has even sold her foodstamps for crack, but I feel in my heart if she doesn't get help soon she'll die out there. Every time I've tried to help her it's failed miserably. I've tried to get her to go into treatment, but she's not ready yet. What do you do when you're certain something really bad is about to happen to someone you love, but you're helpless to save them???
