I've noticed that many people fail to make the connection between the disability and the weight. My mom had arthritis so bad she could barely walk sometimes, with bone spurs on her soles and under her knees to the point you could hear her cracking across the room. Of course she put on weight, how the hell could she exercise enough?! My sister has suffered a continuing migraine and vertigo for about 15 years now. Medication helps her to some degree, so she's going to school now, but at great cost to herself. Strenuous exercise isn't really a good idea.
Hell, even if it were because of greed or laziness, so what? How would that justify treating another person like crap? I can't imagine going up to someone and badgering them to take the stairs, even if I knew them. What business is it of mine?
