Charles Barkley pisses off Fat Acceptance Group over 'anti-obese' comments

Charles Barkley -- Fat Groups FURIOUS ... Over Anti-Obese Comments

Two powerful obesity organizations are having a hard time stomaching Charles Barkley's offensive comments about fat women in San Antonio ... and now they're calling for Sir Charles to apologize.

Barkley lashed out against the big boned community in S.A. on "Inside the NBA" last night -- saying, "Some big ol' women down there ... that's a gold mine for Weight Watchers."

He also said, "Victoria is definitely a secret [in San Antonio] ... they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."

The statements are not sitting well with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance which is now calling for Chuck to apologize, ASAP.

"Making slurs about body size is just as offensive as making comments about body color," spokesperson Peggy Howell tells TMZ Sports.

"One would think being a black man, he'd be more sensitive to having his physical body criticized. It's totally out of line. He should absolutely apologize."

The President of the Obesity Action Coalition has also issued a statement expressing "extreme disappointment" with Charles.

"As a former NBA player and sports entertainment figure, Mr. Barkley should encourage equality and respect among society and not look to shame or segment one population because of their size."

"Obesity is a serious medical condition and not a joking matter."

While it is true that the vast majority of fat people are fat because they chose to be, there is a section of society out there that is fat due to medical conditions like thyroid disease.

Not everybody can just "change it".

I was getting chubby after the military and said nope, screw that and changed my habits. Most fat people lack discipline in many aspects, and the evidence of this lack of discipline is on prominent display. I also live in SA, and fat people waddle in my way everyday. More fat chicks than skinny ones.

Yeah, I am well aware of thyroid problems, my statement obviously does no apply for those who are obese due to any medical reason(s).

Understood. I just don't see any disclaimers in any of these posts and wanted to make sure it got out there.

So for those people, if they stop eating altogether, they will remain fat? Serious question, just trying to understand. Somebody pointed out to me a long time ago that in the photos of Japanese WW2 prison camps there wasn't a single soldier who was "big boned" or had a thyroid problem. Seemed to disprove any possible reason/excuse.

With no medical background to back up my claim, I think most people with thyroid issues use it as a crutch.

I knew a girl back in the day that had a thyroid condition. She played baseball to remain fit but admitted if she stopped being active she'd blow up. She was one of the hottest chicks I knew.
