Go you. As someone who's had limitations of varying degrees her whole fucking LIFE, I commend you for pointing out that there are many reasons people take transit. And hey, yeah, that some people are fat no matter what they do. And even if they are fat for "their own fault," they deserve respect too.
And here's another thing: the kinds of foods people who are poor can afford to buy tend to be fattening. A friend of mine who worked for a major hunger education organization told me there are mothers who feed their kids Coke because it's so much cheaper than milk. So I guess there are poor people who don't deserve transit, either.
Grrr. So many reasons to be angry about that post. I commend you for being a voice of humanity on that blog, even if you get no support there. They need to live by WilW's words: Don't be a dick.
