Let me say that I may have some facts wrong in this story, and feel somewhat bad. Some of my readers are going to know who I’m talking about as this story develops, so apologies to them! And feel 100% to correct me if I’m wrong, or to tell me to STFU. Nicely, of course.

I’m sitting at my desk writing this on my lunch break, and a thought just popped into my head in regards to coworkers. Let me add a few things up for you: Two of my previous articles touch on this, so there is this one which is about Society being too PC, and this one about people who are obviously overweight but do nothing to help themselves (a bit of a debate going on so feel free to fuel the fire)

What happened you see, is I was in the lift with my fruit juice and slice of banana bread for lunch (for serious) and this guy got in with 3 Large Pizzas. Now, I know they were probably (but not definately!) not all for him, good chance is that he would partake in the devouring of them. At least a bit. The other truth in this is that the level he got out at is full of people who, like himself, aren’t exactly in great shape.

He stood there and I almost audibly groaned. He was panting. Seriously. Like standing there was hard work. Ok, yes, admittedly he may have just ran a marathon and this pizza was his reward, and so panting _might_ be ok. But more than likely in the suit he was wearing, this isn’t the case. Rather, standing was tiring him.

As he waddled out of the elevator, I could barely help but to say something to him. I didn’t, but perhaps I should have. How could I a guy who is physicaly out of shape and unwell be devouring more crap for their bodies? I know we are *all* guilty of this, but there needs to be a limit, right?

One of the big arguments against it is that it is their body, they can do what they want with it. The problem with this, especially somewhere like Australia where there is universal health care, is that while it is their body, the effects of it being so unwell and at risk effect everyone (all that pay taxes at least).

So I guess the thing that I was thinking was it is so wrong for people to … put them in their place? Maybe this is the wrong way to say it. But perhaps I said somethign to this man and be like “oh, doesn’t look like you need those pizzas” would I be in the wrong? The immediate answer is yes. This is a stranger who I do not know, who’s business is not mine. It is offensive and politically incorrect. But honestly, perhaps this is what society needs?

I know that if I was overweight and in line for McDonalds, and someone (especially the cashier [lol]) was like ‘oh, I really don’t think you need to be here” I would leave. Perhaps cry, slit my wrists, etc. But I’d definitely leave McDonalds.

I’m probably offending way too many people right now, so I’ll stop.
