The worst your likely to catch from a dog is an allergy - when your fat neighbor sneezes on the salad bar or doesn't wash his hands before proceeding to the buffet you can really catch something - bad.
This statement has bothered me since i read it earlier in the day. And yes it is because i am -
fluffy, overweight, big, chunky, obese, a BBW - whatever you want to call it, yes i am fat. BUT, that is not the issue, i am offended at the thought, and insinuation that because the person is fat they would be the one that is dirty, unclean (as they make their way to a buffet) thus being the cause of someone else getting sick. I am sure there are skinny, average, and fat people that do not wash their hands or are not careful about the spread of germs.
BUT as a fat person, i also know this: i am extremely clean. I have always been fat AND always been a clean person.
