Aside from the obvious but unsurprising hypocrisies, I have an issue with this whole “fat and lazy” thing.

Firstly, Chloe has said she exercises. That’s more than I do, so if she’s lazy then I’m well fucked.
Secondly, me and a female friend were talking about this. She’s overweight but goes to the gym 3 times a week. She eats relatively healthily, it’s just she has trouble losing weight. Same with millions of people round the world.

Of course as is well documented, mail land is extremely black and white. If you’re fat then there’s one simple reason: you eat too much and you don’t exercise.
