Fat People: Raise your hand if you've been told to "eat less and exercise more" by a healthcare provider who hadn't bothered to ask what you eat, or how much you exercise. Even if dieting did work (and it doesn't) practicing stereotypes instead of medicine would still be wrong.

This isn't some random fatty either. This is Ragen Chastain, of 12.5 hour Seattle marathon fame. Who was also instantly DQ'd and asked to leave from a triathlon for embarrassing herself in the swimming portion. Who also cheated in a charity 5K run and still didn't finish in under an hour.
