No excuse for the man’s behavior. But the fact that there is even
a word for this, a word that specifically connects “fat” with “anger,”
demonstrates the stigma attached to “fat” in our culture. Can
someone find me a word that means “thin and angry?”

If we communicate to children in faux high pitched tone so they “understand” us, shouldn’t this two-way street apply to others?

We talk to foreigners with poor English using equally poor pigeon (or shout at them, depending on our ignorance), so why can’t we communicate to offensive people in language they will “understand?”

If dialogue is a two step process, we have a responsibility to enhance comprehension by optimising delivery.

We do this everyday with children, why not the obesive?

My condolences on dealing with the morbidly morose.

Unfortunately, the chemical means of behavior modification have the potential of airway compromise. They are titratable, but managing this airway may be more unpleasant than his earlier behavior.
