It sounds mean, but whenever I see really obese people eat food (no matter what food), I instantly lose my appetite. I know some people cannot help the way they're built, and those people are easily picked out and aren't a part of this specific group of large people, but when I see obese people (who could have been a much smaller size judging by body frame, eating habits etc.) chowing down food for whole classes, by lunch I'm not hungry! Is this normal?

    I'm sure it's normal. I sort of feel the same way myself... I mean, I like to think of my meals as a pleasant, almost cultural experience, taking my time with each piece of food, alternating, etc. But when I see someone just shoveling it down without enough time to even taste it, especially when they're rather overweight already... it makes me a bit queasy.

    You know I read this post a while back and skipped it. But just recently I did some consulting at a place where they hired this woman tgat was at least 300 lbs. And we were in at lunch and the way she scarfed her food made me sick and I couldn't eat. She's such a slob. I don't see how anyone could care so little about her appearance to let herself get so obese.

    My partner shovels in the food and he is fat... Totally gross! He doesn't stop to talk. Makes me feel literally sick!
