There are many lean people that eat absolute crap, and are as unhealthy or more. I don't think we make fun of bad eating habits; we make fun of fat people because they don't fit into certain beauty standards.
Also, being "fat" doesn't mean you're not healthy. Being a bit chubby or overweight is perfectly normal, obesity is a problem.
And I think calling people "lazy" for being fat says more about you than anything. Exercise isn't the most important factor on weight, eating habits are. Specifically, calorie intake.
An excess in fat is a comorbidity for pretty much everything, an active fat person has a higher probability of death from any health issue than an inactive thin person.
Source? I believe you're speaking of obese people.

Both being overweight or obese has consequences.
And that excuses making shitty jokes at our expense?
No, I'm just correcting what they were saying
