ktrb	It's rude for anyone (fat or skinny) to comment on anyone else's eating choices, whatever the other person's weight. The only possible exception is if they have a close enough relationship (parent/child, spouses, or so on) where one has a reason to be legitimately concerned with the other's health.

In love and loving it to	It is just plain rude,no one has any right to judge another.If they are judging you,they probably want to be just like you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amsterdam Conversations	well, maybe if they want to help them it's ok. if it is said in scruitiny then it's not ok. i don't really like to see my mum eat junk at 10pm. she's been trying to lose weight longer than me, so should i just sit by and let her eat that junk? it's not good to eat unhealthy especially when you have almost reached that milestone in age (aka. 50). and i just started dieting and i'm losing weight already so i really want her to adopt my methods. i no longer make rude comments but i do throw a tip or two her way. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

no man is and island except me	No. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Numb	This is another form of racism or discrimination, kind of like a black person using the N word but a white person cannot. I think a skinny person is not allowed to make fat comments but fat people can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lisodo1	I think it is just plain rude. People should learn to close their yaps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

m&m collector	no remarks towards someones body in a negative way should be said, but im thinking an overweight person knows they didnt get that way from not liking to eat and i just think they dont want you to make the same mistake they have by eating and getting bigger and bigger. like smoking its a drug and hard to quit and i have seen people say please dont smoke they know its hard to break the habit and they will try to warn you its not good so dont start Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ukmolly	No-one should criticise other people, regardless of their own weight. It's just rude. Maybe it'd be ok if you'd asked for advice or were saying you were trying to lose weight. But no, not out of the blue. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CoMpOsUrE	I know it seems ironic but some people that are overweight have Thyroid problems and can be healthy eaters. I don't think it matters if your skinny or fat you should keep your mouth shut because its rude and none of your business in the first place. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mrs Robinson 2 B	its plain rude Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

girl_on_the_couch_inak	do as i say, not as i do.....just because someone is fat doesn.t mean that they have no knowledge of a healthy diet.....if they criticize you feel free to criticize them!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jamie-lee A	Not really because then they are just been hypocritical themselves by criticising what someone else is eating, It all depends really, You have to remember some people have problems with their weight etc too so you shouldn't judge all the overweight people as the same. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kitoffbeardon	Damn right they do... look at the size of them ... they have spent many hours a day getting into that kinda shape .. that is some kinda determination and passion for food ... they are fully entitled to criticise after all they are the eating experts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Whizzie	Yes - Human rights, do you know it?! :P But yeah I think they can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

g8r52220	I personally think it's wrong for anyone (regardless of weight) to make comment about eating habits unless it's in response to something obviously unhealthy (like anorexia or bulemia, or refusing to eat something that's not deep fried). And even still, it should be done in a respectful manner. If this person is someone you know and are close too, then just let them know that it makes you uncomfortable and you'd prefer not talking about eating habits. If it's someone you only met once, then just leave it, most likely you won't run into that person again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

movienutb	Yes! I'm a little overweight and I get all kinds of terrible remarks for people who weigh less than myself. Unless people are trying to be constructive I think people should just mind their own bussiness and not tear people down! I'm done ranting now. lol :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tibby	Anyone has the right to say what they want. But I think fatties who do this should take a good look at themselves.......if there is a mirror big enough Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Marathon Mom	No one (regardless of their size) has the right to judge other people.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fellowtraveler87	its pretty rude i think, especially if you're not real close to the person. i get disgusted watching fat people eat. it reminds me of someone with lung cancer puffing down a marlboro. fat people also like to give excercise advice. like how they don't mind telling me how bad running is on my knees...whatever. they dont really know what they're talking about they just like to be able to justify sitting our their butt when they should be active. so don't worry about them...just let it roll off.
