South Park addressed this issue several years ago and I think it speaks more specifically and more directly to the issue at hand; when your obesity impacts others, then it becomes a problem. You want to destroy your body because you have poor eating/excercise habits? Go nuts. But when you can't fit into your seat at the Sprint Center for the Big 12 championship game because you're a disgusting sweat hog that's spilling over into the space that I paid for, don't be surprised when I'm annoyed by the absurdity of it all.

I plan on eating until I'm 500 pounds then require the government to pay for my gastric bypass surgery!

This is a little off topic, but... a few years ago my brother was doing a show (in Arkansas I think) and he made a crack about an audience member... made fun of the guys mullet. IMO, if you have a mullet then you deserve to be messed with! Anyways, the guy got mad and came up on stage and held a knife to my brothers crotch until some other crowd members tackled him and held him until the cops showed up and arrested him. It was a show for some company banquet. My brother has a good friend who is a lawyer (as well as a comedian and film maker) and he wanted my brother to sue the company. He easily could have, but decided not to for some reason.

It kills me when people argue comedy. Granted, I didn't think this was funny at all, but comedy is probably one of the most subjective forms on subjectivity you can get in entertainment. Yes, there are funny women out there, at least enough for the masses to agree on. For those saying they're not, good for you. It doesn't change the opinion of the masses. I had a conversation with someone that doesn't think Louis C.K. is funny but thinks Dane Cook is. I whole heartedly disagree, but it doesn't make Cook any less funny to him (or to millions of people, for that matter).

People's weight is their own choice but I find it ridiculous when someone has gastric bypass/lap band surgery without actually trying to change their exercise/eating habits first. They aren't helping themselves any by just having surgery. Changing their habits and having some self discipline would go much further. It's like cheating on a test. You might do well on that test, but it won't change the fact that you don't anything come the next test.
