		<description>You know what, Joe, you&#039;re right! It&#039;s only fat people eating quarter pounders; thin people never do. We&#039;re thin. Here we are bashing ourselves for having that extra slice of toast and these fat broads don&#039;t even feel bad about a meal at McD&#039;s. (Life&#039;s so unfair.) 
Care to know why they don&#039;t? It&#039;s because they&#039;ve absolutely no reason to. Every person has the right to eat or not eat whatever and whenever they want. And that&#039;s a good thing, too. 
After all, what would happen if I, for instance, were to suddenly decide that all men, whether actually interested in me or not, only exist for my visual pleasures and thus ought to stay below 160lb. (And fire and brimstone and a wooden spoon stuck in a drawer if they don&#039;t! My wrath is terrible.) Gee, Joe, you might have to reconsider that slice of toast.
Food is food, not a moral flaw – and those who prefer their fellow humans sane and happy will keep it that way.</description>

		<description>Actually, I think it&#039;s true. Once you hit forty you don&#039;t give a damn about what people think of you.

This paragraph would be more likely to anger the subsection of twenty-something guys (the &quot;Nice Guys (TM)&quot;) who think women can (and should) only be happy if they&#039;re physically attractive. I think this is why they become so viciously and maliciously cruel and sarcastic to older, unattractive, or overweight women - they see women as things to use, and if the woman isn&#039;t in a &quot;usable&quot; state she&#039;s worthless. Somehow they never become anywhere near as vicious toward older, unattractive, or overweight men - but then again, men are people, right?

It&#039;s like the geniuses who think a woman who is physically attractive must have a greater sex drive than one who is not. Yeah, because ugly men are all eunuchs too.</description>

		<description>Go on. I dare anyone to assert this is true to your mother, wife, sister, or significant other.

If you do, just let us know where to scatter your ashes. :-)</description>
