TO AGIE: Wow what a passionate response to such an off hand remark that I made! I do not seriously believe that every skinny person should wear a fat suit. In fact, I used to be skinny myself. It was simply a silly comment I made because of the way someone had treated me that day. I know exactly what it is like to be treated as a skinny person and as a larger one, and although the majority of people are very nice, as with life some are jerks. I never said that skinny people dont have problems, because they do. We all have problems. That is what life is about. Sometimes it just bothers me that people dont take the time to understand the reasons why there are so many obese people in this world, but rather like to box people into a "fat" category and treat them accordingly. Agie, this was not a serious comment. I apologise if it has upset you, it was not my intention. If I were to really want all skinny people to wear a fat suit, I would also have to say that all rich people live like a poorer person for a day, a man be a woman, a woman be a man for a day etc etc. My point is that this world is full of prejudice, and it is wrong. Sometimes it just gets me down. Hope this answers your questions Agie! Also, its great to see someone so passionate who really says what she thinks. I think that is fantastic. :-)
