Read other letters about this article
for a letter writer to refer to heavy people as 'porksters,' when i would probably get my ass handed to me if i called him, oh, i don't know, a 'slanty-eyed gook?' writing is his area of excellence? i beg to differ.
and as for the article writer characterizing a woman trying to improve herself as 'hauling her flab' around DC, all i can say is fuck you, buddy. fuck you. when i see heavy people out running or exercising, i want to cheer them on, because as a former overweight person, i know how hard it is to get out there to exercise knowing that you will most likely be judged and even mocked. you're told, 'why don't you get off your fat ass and do something,' and then you're vilified for doing it.
so fuck you, buddy. if i ever meet you, i will kick your bad knee hard, and then run away laughing.
