I think the biggest two problems with obesity are:

 - The cost to health care systems.
 - The needless driving up of the demand for food, increasing prices, and thus pushing more of the world's poor into starvation.

Obese people, in my view, should not be protected from discrimination. They are killing themselves, and, indirectly others. They are driving up costs everywhere, and are unsustainable. Frankly, they're not all that great to look at, either.

90% of the time, it's a lifestyle choice, like smoking or drinking, and has very similar costs to society. Yet, it's okay to ridicule smokers, and picking on the fat kid is bullying >_>

Bad day workin' at the McD'?
