Second, being fat is not a disability. If being fat was a disability, that more than half of all Americans would qualify. If I were asked by a fat person to relieve my seat so they can sit down, I wouldn't have it. At that point, I wouldn't care if I was thrown off the bus.
If you have trouble standing, for whatever reason, then you can use the disability seats.
You don't know what condition caused their obesity, and there are a lot of them. You can be a smug, self righteous prick all you want, but that doesn't change that "put down the fork" is often times not a solution for an obese person. It's not your place to look at people and just assume "Oh, I know what's wrong with them better than they themselves do. I'm going to assume the worst about them based on their appearance and treat them rudely because of it."
"Putting down the fork" is coupled with "go exercise". Those two put together make a pretty good solution to an obesity problem.
And I do know what's wrong with them. I was a fat kid in middle school. Then I got my -blam!- together, did track, ate less, and went to the gym. Now, I'm muscular and pretty athletic at 168Ibs, 5'10". Granted, it's easier to lose weight when you're a child, but the principles are still the same. Stop eating and go exercise.
