In my travels far and WIDE, I have seen fat people do some really funny shit, usually unintentionally, or have funny shit happen to them on account of their abnormal size, weight, girth and texture. Can’t forget texture.

More nonsense from Breitbart lol. Let's breakdown the paltry set of studies raised by that source.
1. http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/chi.2014.0062
How does weight loss being tied to intrinsic self worth rather than extrinsic sources, prove that an external attacks on a person's dignity (clue, the exact opposite) is a good thing and to be encouraged?

This "study" makes the same assumptions as you have, that because it worked with smoking it will work with obesity, yet nowhere am I seeing where this is statistically supported, in or outside the article.
This study does nothing to confirm that peer pressure has a positive impact on weight, only that people tend to mimic the activities of those around them, for better or worse. Breakthrough discovery.
So what does that leave you with? Some articles from a shitty tabloid? Lmao.
How about you take a look at this instead, where you'll find links to a dozen relevant studies that prove you wrong. Fancy that.
Back on the topic of Sharia Law, I'm well aware how little it takes to trigger one your paranoia induced white supremacist rants, but for those living in reality, you'll have to try a little harder.

I somehow doubt there as funny as some of my escapades, or should I say the escapades of other near-human land whales.
– I once witnessed a fatty so humongous and ill-equipped to navigate her own circumference turn over an entire four-seater table in slo-mo, as her massiveness rounded the bend and she settled her planetary obstruction into her pitiably undersized chair. The table came crashing to the ground, spilling dinnerware and a sad candle onto the floor with a loud clatter.
- Break a chair. Yes, despite its clichéd nature, I remember clear as the day the time a fatty sat her bulk on a chair and one of the back legs gave out, flinging her backwards like a post-breach whale. She landed with such adiposity that… and I swear this as Lucifer is my unholy mentor… she bounced a little upon impact.
- Take a direct hit from an out-of control bicyclist and barely nudge as the guy on the bike goes flying in the opposite direction. A particularly overgrown specimen of fatty — a man weighing in the arena of 400 pounds, mostly confined to the belly and, steatopygially, to the buttocks — was winged by a bicyclist who, inexplicably, didn’t see the fatty before it was too late to avoid collision.

This is merely a case of Beniboy - probably fat ass himself - with a constitutional aversion to the idea of mocking fat ****s for fun and aesthetic profit, coming forth with his studies* which claims to show that fat shaming doesn’t work as a method to persuade fatties to slim down. To that, I say, that’s not shaming! You want shaming, I’ll give you shaming. Real shaming, not this pussyfoot crap based on an amorphous concept like “discrimination” favorable to Narrative guidelines.
*There is are major flaws with the “fat shaming” studies. Specifically, the researchers relied on self-reporting questionnaires that asked whether participants had experienced discrimination. Anyone who is familiar with the hamster rationalizing of assorted losers in life - such as fat grotesqueries will tell you how adept those people are at blaming anyone but themselves for their wretched wretchedness. So it should be no surprise that a bunch of fat shits waddled into a quiet studies to fill out a form with cheetos-stained fingers blaming the equivalent of THE MAN for their love of wolfing down greasy fried food and pints of ice cream.
The Ziggy Fat Shaming Maniefesto
Now, if you want real shaming that actually BITES, try shaming fat shits with methods proven to work.
1) Charge them more to use public transit.
2) Laugh openly at them.
3) Make a spectacle of them.
4) Flay their souls for the mirth of the cheering, howling mob,
5) Sneer at, belittle, and viciously mock them.
6) Or, if you prefer the crueler, subtler art of soul shivving, converse with them in innuendo and sly entendre that lets them know, forever and ever, how repulsive they are to normal people.
If, after years of this psychological torture, most fatties don’t find the fortitude to push away from the table, then you may say that shaming doesn’t work. But I suspect, rather strongly based on real world observation, that many fatties would discover in themselves a hidden untapped well of willpower, and lose the weight. For those fatties who prefer to abandon all hope under the social shaming onslaught and retreat to a dank bedroom to eat until they explode, well, consider it culling the herd. Evolution in action. The untimely dispatch of a species’ deformed members gets a bad rap, but it’s a good thing for the species’ survival as a whole. And the slim phoenix that rises from the rendered ashes will be a good thing for lovers, such as Ziggy, of truth and beauty.
