  Hi. You left a link for your blog on the Eating LA blog and I followed it back here. But after reading this idiocy, I won’t be returning. If you were making fun of this woman for being black or jewish you would have a dozen angry commenters. But because it’s still socially acceptable to make fun of fat people, I guess I get to be the lone voice saying of dissention. I think you should be ashamed of yourself. I’ll bet you $20 that you’ve got a friend or family member with weight problem, and this is how much you respect them? I won’t be recommending your blog anywhere, and if I were Eating LA I wouldn’t want anything to do with you.

  . . . there is a difference between weight problem… and so fat it makes you “disabled”. I have known far too many people whose obesity is documented in causing damage to their hips, knees, and ankles. There are too many instances which are not about someone disabled whose inability to get around made them gain weight, but the reverse. When exactly do people start taking responsibility?

  Oh, and for the record, you chose your words well when writing this post. Anyone offended by it is someone who simply wants to be offended. Again and again you folks show your respect and warmth to everyone, so I think you are OWED a bit of slack!

  @ Onyx: I respect your opinion. I see what angle you’re coming from and I can see why you got offended. I respect your opinion, but I am not sorry for what I wrote. If hating me and playing the righteous role helps you sleep better at night then I hope you had a great REM cycle.

  That’s your opinion and you are entitled to yours.

  Now here’s my opinion: I’m not making fun of ALL overweight people…I am finding comedic value in the irony of THIS particular situation. THIS SITUATION!!! again, THIS SITUATION!!! Do you think I go around to every overweight person and just laugh my ass off? Like if an overweight person is doing an every day activity I just point and laugh at them? No, I do not and I will never. But when I find pictures on the internet of an overweight person trying to order drive-thru fast food on a scooter I will find humor in that. You must think that low of me to think I just generalized all overweight people with this one blog post. Like I wrote this article in the tone of Hitler. Like I have something against overweight people. I love all people no matter their faults…but as a human with a humor bone…I find “haha” in situations that deserve a little “haha’ing”.

  Yes, I do have family and friends who are considered overweight…and guess what? If they tried to roll through a BK drive thru on a scooter I would make fun of them too.

  Why would you put race into the equation with a comment such as “If you were making fun of this woman for being black or jewish you would have a dozen angry commenters.”‘ Man ‘ol man you must think I’m a scumbag to think I would actually make fun of people because of their race. And I know you said “If”, but even hypothetically thinking I would make fun of people strictly because of their race is offensive to me. I find humor in situations and not a persons profile. I still love you though Onyx. If you ever break your promise of not returning to this site, I will break out the rose pedals and fine wine for you.

  @ NuubUser: Thanks for stopping by the post and providing us with some healthy input. I agree that people need to take responsibilty…however…like you said, some people are unfortunately overweight due to disability. However, some are overweight due to lack of self control. And If I see any of them ordering BK drive-thru on a scooter I will have a chuckle or two. If I see a skinny person ordering BK drive thru on a scooter I will have a laugh. The person could be a super model and if I saw her ordering BK drive thru on a scooter best believe I will laugh at her also. NuubUser…if you ever roll on a scooter thru a BK drive thru you will hear me laughing from a state away

  This post is friggin AWESOME. hahaha! This was the laugh I needed this morning.

  I agree, you cannot help but judge someone that obviously has a more than serious obesity problem and instead of going anything about it, they roll through a fast food joint to order probably more food than two normal people could eat. I think half the reason our country has such an obesity problem is because the media coddles these people instead of giving them tough love and telling them to get off their asses and do something for their health before they kill themselves just for the sweet sweet taste of a delicious greasy hamburger.

  for the record, i don`t use the scooter because i am fat, i use it because my licence are suspended and it runs on batteries not gas. i would also mention that it was a chilly day and i was buying coffee. this picture was taken in may,2008 and this man has been stalking me, harassing me, terrifying me for 2 yrs now, please get over it and give it a break, i would like to be left alone now. i can realise the humor you might see in the situation, but the outright rudeness is uncalled for
