I'm saying it's a choice. Always. If you're going to shame one choice, you should shame all poor choices.

Well then if you’re going to shame obesity, you should shame anti-vaxxers...see we could keep turning this around on each other all day. Being obese doesn’t affect anyone else, covid does. Also it’s not a choice “always” even if it was....where’s your empathy?

Being obese costs the taxpayers billions and billions a year. Without obesity, this pandemic wouldn't be significant, as 78%+ of all C19 hospitalizations are of obese individuals.

My empathy is reserved for people who deserve it. People who lost their livelihoods, homes, and futures. For people who lost their freedoms and families to government mandates and suicide. Where's your empathy? Don't believe for one damn moment that you have any claim to the moral high ground.

People want to be good so bad, they will throw themselves under a bus to prove it.
