America’s War on the Overweight
Anti-fat rhetoric is getting nastier than ever. Why our overweight nation
hates overweight people.

Thanks for the article.

It is a subject that should be irrelevant, but if that is not to be,
then people should remember that we are all doing the best we can.
Should you be judged on your intelligence, or looks? Should the
developmentally disabled woman with the sweet laugh be mocked, and the
churlish mathematician, who can describe the interaction between two
mathematical models, be applauded? Perhaps your view of the environment
displays more about you, than it does about the environment.
