If as is often the case, that a fat person comfort eats because they are unhappy, if they are teased about being fat then that can make them more unhappy and so they comfort eat.
I personally find fat people eating huge amounts of food quite nauseating but I would not lower myself to actually have a go at someone like that as I would not like to hurt their feelings.
I guess being a smoker is similar. I know it is bad for me, but all the adverts and campaigns designed to make me stop just keep on telling me that I am an evil bad person who is killing all those around me, that I stink and am a lowlife....it just makes me reach for another ciggy.
