Personally, I think we worship the thin because there are so few thin people around anymore, which is why we celebrate it. Think about supply and demand.
Hating goes on both ends. Granted 'fat' people may get made fun of more publicly and often, but hating of thin people happens too.
Ok, I'm a college xc/track runner. I can't tell you how many people I hear in the gym (when I have my head phones on) either making fun of me, saying i probably throw up after every meal, and so on. I'm in shape- but there is no way of mistaking me for having an eating disorder.

I can relate....
I was very thin in high school and some people thought I had an eating disorder. I have never been anorexic or bullemic. I ate very well but I just could not gain weight. I was embarrassed and hurt at times b/c of how some people made me feel- so it does go both ways.
