Why does big business hate big people?  They must.  Did you ever notice the appalling lack of choice that we larger folks are faced with when we shop?

If you're a normal person, the answer is probably NO, you haven't noticed. Why should you? You can eat sugars and sweets and starches as often as you want.

You probably don't care that millions of fat people go to bed hungry each night...hungry and craving a Milky Way or a piece of chocolate cake with white icing, or at the very least, a Rice Krispies Bar. 

We, the unloved fat people, never feel that joy that comes from eating Hershey's Kisses by the handful. We wake up each morning with the immediate realization that today, like every other day, is a day without a pleasing variety of sugar-free treats.

You thin people may be thinking, "Hey, there are sugar free products, Tubby. So just shut up."  You're right. There are some sugar free products, but have you ever noticed how little choice we get. Take the ice cream section in the grocery store. 

Normal people must have a thousand flavors. There's Thin Mint and Oreo Cookie and Chocolate Marshmallow, and Fudge Brownie and...need I go on?  What do we, the larger people of the world, get? Chocolate and Butter Pecan. That's it. Those are our choices.  You get Cherry Garcia. We get squat from Ben and Jerry. Why? Are we second class citizens?

It's the same with Jello Puddings.  You get Lemon Meringue. I get, yep, you guessed it, chocolate. I like chocolate, but I like choice. I guess you might say when it comes to desserts, I'm very pro choice.

I hope someone's listening. I feel like a lone voice, crying out, "Please, give me some Peppermint Patty or Mocha Chip ice cream." 

I'm guessing Corporate America figures we fat people have had our day in the food court. I guess you figure we did this to ourselves, and now we have to pay the consequences.

But just wait. Things are going to change. We portly people are going to start pushing our weight around. We're going to march in the streets. We're going to start our own Occupy Food Lion. We will raise our voices in protest and demand our rights to choice, lots and lots of choice. But first, of course, we need to sit down and catch our breath.
