People want to be fat? I guess I've heard of this. Idiots trying to set world records or some such nonsense. But usually, in reference to people I've known, they don't want to be fat. It's just something that happens due to poor diet (including drugs and alcohol) and lack of exercise (the risk increases when obesity is in the genes).
If they didn't want to be fat then they would make better choices, such as not having a poor diet and actually exercising. A lot of fat people say they don't want to be fat, but if they continue to choose to live as a fat person then they must want to be fat.

Either way, it's their choice and I choose not to ridicule them for it. Unless it's funny. Or unless it effects me, like when someone who simply takes up the space for two or three airplane seats tries to fit into one and ends up clearly encroaching on the seat real estate that I purchased. And even then I wouldn't call them a fat freak or demand they change their lifestyle, I would just want them to find a way to get the smurf on their side of the armrest. I don't think that them being in your line of sight is justification for ridicule though.
