Fat is 98% a choice and can negatively affect others.
Can't think of anything more different than these two things.

As for being fat, yeah most people are not born like that either. And while I see in theory an advantage to religion...I don't really see any pro's to being fat. And in most cases you have the power not to be.
I said this earlier in the thread but I'll say it again: When you see an overweight person you are effectively judging them based on a stereotype. You really have no idea what they eat, how they eat, and if and how much they exercise. You could make the assumption that they eat like shit and not exercise and may be correct, but you really have no idea. You haven't explained how this any different from judging someone based on their race.
You're also suggesting it would be perfectly acceptable to discriminate based on someones race or sexual orientation if it was a choice. You don't honestly believe that do you?
