I heard an obese woman once who said that she was discriminated against, and it was no different than an old person or a person of color being discriminated against.

I called bullsh!t, of course.

If you take a black man, an old man, and an obese man out to a dersert island with nothing but water and bread, and you pick them up a couple months later, you'll be picking up a skinny black man, a skinny old man, and a skinny man that used to be obese.

Obesity, in almost all cases, is simply due to a poor diet and lack of exercise. The fact that we're going to just sit here and allow it to cripple the country with escalating health care costs is a disgrace.
