I understand if there is a serious medical condition causing their obesity, but if they're just fat they should have special tags that make them park in the back of the lot.Two years ago, my mom had double knee replacement. She got a temp HC mirror tag. I met Mom & Dad at the mall one night, and he parked in an HC spot. As Mom was getting out - slowly - a car pulled into the next spot and a slim woman in her 50s and a healthy looking guy in his 20s got out. They walked, briskly, past M&D as Mom was still extracting herself. Dad blurted outloud, as is his practice, "I wonder what her handicap is?" Young man spun on his heels a snorted, "My mom is anorexic! She has low stamina!" If she has low stamina, WTF is she doing going to a mall, where lots of walking is involved?
So, not only do people who are fat get tags, people that THINK they're fat can get them.
Anorexia is something she is doing to herself, and she shouldnt have a tag for it.

anorexia can be caused by psychological factors, other than not eating to lose weight, it can be other things, like fear of food or something. the same way that if you get food poisoning and can't keep your food down its considered bulimia.
I was offered one after my accident so I could park up front when I went to Physical therapy, which consisted of an hour of walking.
