Quote
Obesity is contagious like a virus. Willpower can't contain it. Stop blaming and stigmatizing fat people.

That's how scientists and the press are spinning a new study about weight gain, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The spin is politically correct but medically perverted. The study's findings tell exactly the opposite story: Obesity spreads culturally, individual decisions are crucial, and responsibility and stigma are part of the solution.

Only an idiot would gorge him/herself to the point movement becomes problematic.

Me either. especially when they are smelly-fat. Something in me just compels me to think these people are weak, very weak, and need to be prodded with a stick while being tormented by words -- but hates too strong of word.
