Mankind became fat AFTER leaving Earth a polluted, toxic waste land. They became fat and lazy because of the rampant consumerism and laziness that Wal-Mart...err Buy 'N Large encouraged. It's commentary on the general trend towards automating life, not a damnation of obese people. I don’t know if this person even paid attention in the movie.

So why shouldn't other people not want them to be fat either? Is support of a healthy lifestyle automatically an attack on fat people? If you've actually seen this movie, you find that fat people actually save the day, and save the planet. In fact, I don't recall seeing a single representatlion of the "skinny" person. As a person who is not able to acheive weight gain, due only to a high metabolism, and through no fault of his own, should I be offended to learn that Pixar belives that no "skinny" man could survive hundreds of years of space travel? I would be pissed now, only I realize that without generalizatiion, fables and fairy tales would never exist. Its been my experience that most “fat” people don’t want to be fat.

He said it was a real sobering look at our future, but he secretly wants a hover chair and cup cakes in a cup. He asked his kids if they would like to stay on the earth and try to clean it up or if they would rather stay in space and be served by robots their whole lives. The Kids said they wanted to stay on earth and he called them F@ck!#g morons. Kevin Smith had some funny things to say about the film in his latest Podcast.
