   Life isn't fair.  Not everyone is born with the genetics to make them super   
   intelligent, attractive, thin, and athletic, but that doesn't mean you   
   shouldn't play the cards you are dealt.  Even if your hereditary argument   
   held any water whatsoever, that doesn't mean fat people can't overcome their   
   circumstances.  Whether they do are don't is certainly their choice, but   
   arguing that fat people are entitled to extra privileges due to their self   
   imposed problems makes as much sense as arguing that stupid people are   
   entitled to extra privileges if they choose to remain uneducated or if ugly   
   people don't want to take a bath.
