More than 40 percent of students reported that they believe obese
individuals are lazy, lacking in willpower, and are self-indulgent.
The majority of students surveyed also agreed that obese individuals
have poor self-control, overeat, are insecure and have low self-
esteem.
Could the health problems "caused by obesity" really be caused by biased
doctors who brush off legitimate early-warning signs, wrongly believing
that everything is cuased by obesity? *Then when it is obvious that the
problem isn't weight related, it's too late for the "easy cure"?
This study would seem to indicate that is a legitimate possibility.
students eh? well let them study anyones fat ass, they're just a
bunch of dumb ass kids with no real world experience. let me know
when you find a real study done involving all people, you moron. jenius
