Disney Channel stereotypes the "fat kids" bullying? - Disney Childrens Programming

Disney needs to reexamine how it approaches its%u2019 treatment of overweight actors. It BULLIES and MAKES FUN of most of them and they are wrong for doing this. I am 12 years old and even I can see that this is wrong! I have a complaint about some of the stereotypes about %u201Clarge%u201D people, especially kids, that some of the Disney channel shows, like A.N. T Farm, have created. Two of the characters on A.N. T Farm that are being used as stereotypes are Hippo and Angus. A lot of their lines suggest that they carry around food with them where ever they go and that they always eat unhealthy food. I%u2019m overweight and I don%u2019t carry food around with me. And I%u2019m not constantly thinking about food. Disney should be discouraging obesity, NOT MOCKING IT!
These comments suggest that all that %u201Clarger%u201D people think about is food and that is very frustrating to me. I know that your writers and producers would never mock or stereotype a specific ethnicity, can you please explain to why it is ok to make fun of someone who is fat??? I thought stood behind the anti-bullying movement but these shows just promote it. They make it ok. Disney you should be ASHAMED FOR MAKING FUN OF ANY CHILD!!! It%u2019s not funny to make fun at the fat kid%u2019s expense.
