Obesity is a disease. Best treated by moderation, not dyspepsia. Often brought on by mistaking dining for over-eating. Not virulent or contagious. Akin to ignorance

You seem to be obsessed with fatness... I agree that it is a problem in the US and much of the world at large (pun intended). I do however find prejudice against the overweight to be as bad as any other. It is a misconception that a persons weight is entirely under their own control. It isn't. Other disease and more importantly genetics play a huge part in the malady. By the way... didn't this whole discussion start out with a comment about Rush Limbaugh (who I do not listen to) weighing 370 lbs. Have you seen a picture of him recently?? I think he lost a lot of weight. cAPSLOCK
