Saying fat people chose to be fat is as ill informed as saying gay people chose to be gay and even if it were by choice it doesnt make slagging off fat people any less callous and malicious.

Overweight people choose to be so no more than I choose to be misquoted. Medical science dismisses the role of a person's genes as a contributory factor in obesity. Overweight people are that way because they eat too much and don't exercise enough. If they ate less and exercised more, then they wouldn't be overweight. Ergo, it's entirely in their own hands whether they remain obese or not. Obesity is, admittedly to put it in harsh terms, abnormal. Being gay (or not, as the case may be) is entirely normal, and no amount of thinly-veiled homophobia will ever prove otherwise.

You are completely and utterly wrong, end of. But if you still hold these views why not take them up on the serious discusions board? Perhaps also taking the time to read anything there that may be related to the topic first.
