That's technically true. Less than 10% of life-long smokers will actually develop lung cancer, which is considered the most commonly associated cancer with smoking. Of course, life-long smokers still heavily increase their risks of other comorbidities which will heavily increase their risk of death. That is why smoking and obesity are such great comparisons. It isn't that likely that the majority of obese people will die from diabetes. However, obese individuals will accumulate many other complications (i.e. high cholesterol, high blood pressure, increased risk for cancer) that will increase their risk of dying or, at a minimum, decrease their quality of life.

The scary thing is more fats get more correlated diseases than smokers do. My quality of life was never lower than it was at 29 BMI a few years ago, so I fucking fixed that.

Of course she's quoting P!nk. "and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off.".
And this whole "My body, my business, your body your business" never applies to hams, of course. They're allowed to skinny-shame and spew hate and bile over people who're not hambeasts.

I do not OWE IT TO ANYONE to be fat and healthy, either.
You owe it to yourself to be healthy (not compatible with being fat, obviously). If you'd rather suffer, just go ahead and die already.
So, yes, you can EXIST and take up more space than your neighbor.
Yes, you can exist. But you cannot live.

They can exist somewhere yes, but I don't want to see or smell them. Underground would be a nice place for them. Even a few inches of soil would offer a nice barrier.

"We're not going to go and hide just because a bunch of people who have a lot of time to waste on a computer are creating hate sights dedicated to making fun of our fat body." *sites, not sights. I mean, maybe if you spent more time paying attention in English class...

Really the only time fat people bother me is when they're directly fucking with me. If I'm out watching a game, at the movies, whatever and your filth is spilling over an arm rest and onto me its a problem. If I've hurt my leg, ankle, etc and I WANT a scooter to shop, I should be able to get one, not wait while some fucking fatty moseys around with nothing better to do.
Other than that, I just fucking hate 'em and they disgust me.
