Healthy and "fit" now, but what about the rest of your life?
I have always been heavy. It's a combination of factors - genetics included. Hell, even my German immigrant great-grand parents were obese by today's standards. Poor immigrants obese in the early 1900's? It sure as hell wasn't fast food or lack of physical activity (they were farmers).
Truth is there are many contributing factors to being fat. Unfortunately, you don't know by looking at a person the cause of their excessive weight. So to hate someone who could very easily have a medical condition or be in such a state that they are unable to prevent being fat, makes you a very intolerant person.
Might as well say that you hate burn victims or amputees. No one should ever aspire to be obese, but everyone should hope to have the compassion and foresight to know that one day, that could be you. It doesn't take much in these times of plenty.
