Hi I need a favor. I've been asked to speak at a workshop given by a branch of the National Institutes of Health on Feb. 18th. I want to talk to them about the social problems/discrimination being caused by the "war on obesity" and all the recent publicity about how expensive we are to the economy and how we're all going to die slow and expensive deaths. I want people to give me stories of things that have happened in the last year or so as a result of this increased anti-fat publicity. Of course, their names would not be used. I'm interested in anybody who was turned down for a job because of health/insurance concerns, anything painful that happened to a fat child, nasty remarks, etc. We're going to need a bigger boat. Of course, as usual I need this stuff right away. Anybody who wants to talk by phone instead of email can just send me an email with their number and I'll call them at their convenience. I really need some back-up on this because without specifics I'll be ignored. Thanks so much!

Very poignant. What's so wonderful and poignant about this post? I'm not sure either. 3 have unknown causes of death, 2 cancer (I guess being fat causes cancer too), one is diabetes and the other is surgical. I guess a bunch of names strung together with younger ages of death is "poignant". I wonder if we collect a bunch of names of people who died doing stupid things we can have a "Stupidity kills" post.

Maybe you could gather some info from the Darwin Awards.
