"Obesity is not a disease. All this does is open the door for the diet and bariatric surgery industries to make a potentially tremendous profit." - Allen Steadham in "Fat activists start mass protest"
Riiiiight…and smoking isn't bad for you either. The campaign against smoking is just a front for extortion by a hippocratic mafia. *rolls eyes*
While I agree that too much emphasis is placed on appearance, in particualr thinness, in our society, I don't think that means all superfluous weight should be accepted. Some people have genetic predispositions to being overweight. They should seek help. Some people have emotional problems that lead to overeating. They, too, should seek help. Some people eat too many damn super-sized burger meals and unhealthy snacks and drink too much soda. They should quit stuffing their faces with fat , get off their lazy, gluttonous asses and get some friggin' exercise! (Pardon my French)
P.S. I practice what I preach. I've been eating better and working out. I've lost about 25 pounds over the last year or so.
