Everything is the fault of everyone, but over time you will learn that the worst faults in people aren't the various and sundry tricky addictions. The worst faults in people are their behaviors towards their fellow human beings.

Most of people's addictive behaviors can be traced back to treatment at the hands of others.

And so you have so far shown yourself to be part of the problem. Don't like fat people? Examine yourself. Have you helped a large person to realize that they have worth and should care about their existence and appearance? Or have you casually abused them, disrespected them to give them the signal that their lack of sense of self-worth is justified? Judged them by the worst example? Put them into a single category? Developed a harsh prejudice by instinct?

What kind of person would do that to someone? I would describe that person's behavior as poor, and immature. I might even guess they were troubled. I would definitely say they are part of the problem.

Look around you, buddy. What you don't realize yet about life is how harsh it can be. The fat ones aren't the people that are going to make trouble for you. The faster you figure it out, the better off you'll be. The better a person you will be.
