I'm completely for the obese getting help, but they shouldn't be treated like people with diseases. A cancer patient and a fat guy are not the same. Being fat is completely, 100% avoidable. People may yell that it's not as easy for them to stay thin as it may be for someone else, but, hey, that's life. Everyone has their weaknesses. Deal with them. I'm not a doctor, but as far as I can tell, you can't gain weight without eating. No one got fat from breathing too much.

RE: factors smacktors by Anonymous :: NR0

I think it is also important to recognize the difference between not being 'thin' and being obese. Anyone can agree that it is hard to be as thin as models and others who are on TV/magazines, but being obese means that you are beyond overweight. The factors involved are generally pretty lenient in granting you are just overweight as opposed to obese.
