Your right to be fat and happy

I guess I should have seen this coming...the inevitable obese backlash. I think it's sad yet almost comical at the same time. Enjoy.

"It's gotten markedly worse in the last few years because of the propaganda that fatness, a natural human characteristic, is somehow a form of disease."

Ok... so the actual broad category of being overweight isn't a disease, but since when did being overweight not lead to all sorts of heart/blood problems? Sorry, but I have no sympathy for the people that just keep eating themselves to obesity (unless it's caused by something else or they truly are trying to lose weight in the first place). I mean, you don't have to be skin and bones, hell, if I went to a doctor I am sure he/she would say I should eat a bit more healthy, he or she would probably say that to a lot of people. I also don't recall being obese a natural human characteristic, maybe we should all gain another 200lbs and get to know our natural side?

i think the title: "National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance" is the funniest thing i have ever heard in my life..

its not the "fat" thing as much as it is scary to see a 15 year old boy or girl that already weighs 200+ lbs. thats when problems start, and obesity starts to set in at an early age.
