Fat people are a burden to society because of their unhealthy choices.
Obesity is a symptom that has a range of possible causes. One is a lifestyle choice. Others include eating disorders (i.e. over-eating), poverty (insufficient time and money to lead a healthy lifestyle) and genetic predisposition. Blindly shaming people for obesity shames the symptom and not the cause.
