Sorry Snowlight, but I fully agree with them.  Fat is painful to look at --
perhaps it is a biological response.  Naturally I feel pain whenever I see
someone who I believe is unhealthy, and I can see why that would be the case,
evolutionarily.  I see no need to apologize for my genetics, and furthermore,
if the compassion that goes along with the pain prompts me to tell others (at
some appropriate place in conversation, if they want to hear it) just how easy
it is to be thin and healthy, and they benefit from this knowledge, then it is
pain well used.
