Imagine him saying something so insulting to any other group in society. The hand-wringers would be tearing out their hair. This idiot doesn't know people's lives. Lots of people who are morbidly obese have a destructive relationship with food. It's a mental problem. Anorexia is one end of the scale and obesity is the other.

The other end of the scale though, you can apparently say what you like.
