As much as they try to put on a brave face, offending fat people is like shooting fish in a barrel. The worst insults are ones with a grain of undeniable truth in them. That's why saying "you seem hungry, eat a cheeseburger" would feel genuinely insulting to them and why it doesn't feel genuinely insulting when a fat says "eat a cheeseburger" to a human. There is no grain of truth there. Eat a cheeseburger why? So I can look like you?

It's actually a salted cheese burger. We know it comes from a place of jealousy. That's why we're merely annoyed. I think the best triggering response is probably "tee hee, thanks for the compliment but I'm actually on a diet. Gotta get abs for the summer"

I think it's more of a fighting response. Like, hey, skinny people eat burgers too, why do you keep telling us to eat one? YOU eat one ya fatty!
