Obesity is not a crime---- but it gross to try and imply that it is anything other than negligent and a bad example for our children. There SHOULD be a stigma associated w/ being obese- its as bad as smoking or drinking to excess. As the world faces a food crisis, Americans continue to show the rest of the world how we gobble up the worlds resources- gas,and food- and make the place a little grosser w/ our pollution and our obese. Abroad- when a fat person is sighted, they are assumed to be American. How sad is that. And as for the airline issue- I have been (literally) stuck next to a fatty during a flight. I got squished as they oozed over their alloted space into mine. Yuck! "Excuse me, but your paniculus is on my leg". Come America- shape up. The impending medical/insurability crisis is terrifying!

How do you know the "fatty" sitting next to you didn't thing YOU were disgusting? Being fat is setting a bad example? What about the intolerance YOU show? Is that a GOOD example? When you pay my bills, you can tell me what to eat. Until then, butt out.
