Hey Jon, There's plenty of food left!

I am a BIG Guy, I am 6' 3" tall weighing in at 312lbs. I have been big my entire life and have noticed a strange Phenomenon. At the beginning of this year, I was making a joke with Jeff stating that every time I go somewhere to eat like a church, school or family function people always let me know that there is plenty of food left over! I was always polite to refuse the food or sometimes I would concede to the pleading and go get more to eat. I noticed this and told Jeff that the next time someone tells me that there is "plenty of food" I was going to make a big deal about it. I kid you not but 2 minutes later a guy walked up to me and said, "Hey Jon, there is plenty of food over there go get some more." I flipped out I said "what?! because I'm fat you think I need to eat more food? If anything I need to not eat anymore" he was so embarrassed and immediately started to tell everyone else in the room that there was leftover food still that needed to be eaten. Since that day Jeff thinks that it is funny to say to me "Jon, there is still plenty of food over there!" in which I jokingly respond "What!? Why don't you ask others because I'm fat WTH?"
This last Sunday I was at a Church Fireside and they had Pie as a desert. I was involved in a polite conversation with some lovely ladies when they both asked politely if I wouldn't mind having another piece of Pie. I ate 3 total pieces and was not going to eat any more when some random girl that I met a few weeks ago offered me another piece of Pie. I politely refused and she replied. "You are starving you need another piece!" I laughed heartily and responded, "You just said the wrong words to the wrong person." "I have at least 200lbs of weight on you if anything, you need to eat that pie you look like you are starving, and so is she and her as well as her, heck everyone here looks like they are starving." Why is it that I get the "eat more food plea?" Do people assume that because a person is overweight that they can eat a lot? I have friends that are skinny little punks. They can out eat me every time. I had a 5' 8" 110lb girlfriend she would out eat me at any all you can eat buffet any day. So to help those who don't understand Don't assume that a "Fat" person wants to be a garbage disposal for all your leftovers. Most people are overweight because of a slow metabolism giving them more food will only add to their obesity issue so please feed the HUNGRY not the OVERWEIGHT! that's right watch out skinny people.
