Not all disabilities are visible. (Safooty is a prime example)

Yes that's a big possibility and fair enough but I just think people need to remember being fat is not a disability, you don't deserve benefits that disabled people get such as disabled car parks because your fat and not actually disabled in any form.

I agree that is generally true about what is seen in people's shopping trolleys.
Some of the plump people I know diet episodically but maintain their sweet tooth because that still like the taste and use artificial sweeteners instead of retraining their palate to less sweet expectations . However, some do have bone and joint issues that inhibit reasonable exercise, or endocrine problems like marginal hypothyroidism, or high Prolactin levels for various reasons. (Endocrinology can be complex.)
I'd have to admit to a certain laziness being a factor in my tendency to be a bit heavier than ideal, but on the bright side I'm not semi-crippled by joint damage from excessive wear and tear either...
However, I do do things like park a little farther back and walk further rather than pay to park right where I want to go.
(Being a tight b...... helps sometimes!)

This also works in the opposite, ie. why buy a small coke when a large one is only 50c more...same with icecream/drink/chips etc.
