Commenting on "What I learned from Katie Hopkins' 'To Fat and Back'"

Sad case for this arrogant and ignorant woman. I know I have become fat because my belt appears to be shorter, or when I look into the mirror. I gain weight because I eat a bit more than usual on a cruise, and I don't do my normal chores on a ship, for that I enjoy immensely. I allow myself to do so, because the events leading to gaining those extra kg were pleasurable and fantastic.
Some are born with fat genes, and that cannot be denied. Many of these people accept their being fat and live happy ever after, and nothing else. Are those fat people that laugh often really pretending, or are they hiding their sorrow? There are many comedians who are bigger in size than the society norm, and they actually make fatness as a laughing matter and a good living at the same time.
To force oneself to gain 20kg for some stupid social experiment of course will make anyone miserable. This is not dissimilar asking one to go hiking if one prefers going up the top of a mountain by helicopter, or asking one to eat curry if spicy food is too hot for the liking.
Publicity stunt, yes. End result, thumbs down!
