I went inside, and was behind her in line. Both arms were full. She had purchased two egg rolls, two other roller items, energy drinks, at least 2 Cokes and a bag of chips. I don’t know what all she had, but it was $24.72 in snacks.
I saw a fat lady doing the same for a similar amount. She complained to the cashier that she could barely afford her lunches anymore. All she had was snacks, not even really a lunch.

Empathy is what’s needed here. While her situation is likely self induced, it’s no reason to not feel empathy. Her parents and grandparents are probably fat, she was probably raised without knowledge of healthy eating habits, maybe she has a bad hip or knee at this point preventing excercise, could be mental problems.

I have sympathy for fat little kids. They ain't got a chance
csb
I went to my granddaughters’ softball game last week, and a tee ball game was still in progress when I got there. Morbidly obese five year old that people in the crowd were calling “Bear” was participating. He waddles up to the tee for his at bat. First swing is a complete whiff, and he lost his balance and stumbled to the side a few steps. Second swing was also a whiff, and this time he stumbled and fell flat on his face in the box. A couple of the coaches went out to check on him, deemed him ok, and he prepared for his third hack. Swings and barely made contact with the top of the ball. It rolls a few feet into fair territory, and he’s off to first. Approximately three hours later, he steps on first, stumbles and falls again, and rolls about six feet up the line. People are cheering like he just won the World Series, and I’m standing there with my jaw in my hands. Child abuse.

The UCLA medical school would be ashamed of you. According to them, she's just as healthy as the Crossfit Games champion.

At least the kid was outside getting some exercise. Gotta start somewhere.

I don't possess one ounce of sympathy for fat people and I am repulsed by their lack of self respect and laziness. When I was younger, seeing a fat person was very rare and those that were fat were mostly fat shamed and did something about it. There were the instances where someone had a chemical imbalance, but those were rare too. Parents back then paid attention to what there children ate and changed their diet at the slightest hint of the child gaining weight. It's infuriating what is happening today and the USA is the fattest country in the world. And, I'm only 51 so it's not like this was 100 years ago.

The opening act for The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was ukulele-playing Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee. Just saying.
