I wonder, are you fat yourself? Do you or have you ever had a weight problem, are any members of your family or perhaps a close friend fat?
I have a little bit of a belly, my wife has more of one (I have a typical middle-age wide waist). This is down to me liking good food and hating exercise. However I know that I can deal with this quickly and effectively by eating less and moving more - and I often do. If it ever becomes a health issue I will deal with it myself.
I don't claim to be an expert, but I do have a fair few friends in the medical profession who strongly believe the chemical causes of depression are very strongly linked to the mechanism that causes these people to eat as they do,
I've suffered from depression in the past (the "proper" kind - not just the "Oh I feel sad" brigade) as have several members of my family and my wife. The one thing we all have in common is depression is an appetite
killer. I accept this isn't necessarily the case for all people. We have all dealt with our depression and moved on - although once you've been a depressive there is always the risk it will come back, so I am always looking out for the signs.
Call me a bleeding heart liberal if you like. If that's the description of somebody who rather than automatically hating somebody about who I have only ever read a small article in the toilet paper known as the Sun, tries to weigh an argument and to fathom her reasons, then fine, I'd rather be that than the alternative.
I don't "hate" the woman, hell I don't know her. I do strongly dislike those who get themselves in a terrible situation and despite the best help being given them do
nothing themselves to make their situation better and indeed go as far as to blame others for their problem. This woman clearly refused to accept responsibility for her condition and expected doctors to "fix" her through medicine.
I find the phrase "she deserved it" an odd phrase at the best of times, as it rarely seems to fit. In this case it fits very well.
She was an idiot and suffered the inevitable consequences - just like every other addict out there who refuses to help themselves, won't take responsibility for their situation and instead expects medicine or other people to fix the problem for them.
