A kind-hearted man who thought he was doing the public good by advising them to lose weight to avoid dying like his cousin is now a victim of backlash.

“So, there’s this really fat Cousin of mine. Dressed for church this morning. Came downstairs to the living room. sat down and died of a heart attack…If you people like don’t lose weight you hear? Be doing I’m comfortable in my flesh,” he wrote.
