Dear Ms. Saldivar,

I don't need many words to criticize your tirades against obese individuals whom you appear to esteem less worthy than yourself. I sincerely suggest you "build a bridge and get over it."

Though you may not wish to admit it, obese people truly have worth and many work very hard. Most are compassionate to others. They have friends and family who love them. Some thin people can eat all they want and couldn't gain weight even if they tried. They are blessed. Yet, we don't hear of them lashing out at the obese as you are doing. Seems to me they are the real compassionate and caring ones who believe all people have worth.

You really do need to get a life.
