(12,131 posts)Christie's weight should be a non-issue. Do we care that Michael Moore is overweight, or that President Obama is a stringbean? For me, it's an emphatic "No" in both cases.
The factors that influence a person's size, shape, and health are complex and often *very* hard for an individual to control without help.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry you had to suffer such prejudice and cruelty. I try to put myself in others' shoes, and I will think of your story the next time I see somebody who is struggling with their weight.
Gov. Christie is a crook and a bully who has misused public resources to his own selfish ends, in addition to upholding most of the same sociopathic policy positions as his Republican colleagues. That is why is despicable.
