ps It seems reading the previous threads that people have got away again from the original question. Are we judged by appearances? In this society..YES! I'm overweight myself and though not too happy about it, don't wish to change my lifestyle enough to change that situation.Like an alcoholic, or a junkie. I suppose when and if it becomes a medical problem I will or I won't. I'm not being judgemental here, I'm just amazed at how gullible people are when faced with facts. My uncle faced them square on and drew conclusions.
Then again a fence post in Australia turns in to the Virgin Mary.
The human race is endlessly interesting, but also depressingly infuriating at times.
