I don't know what I think....
On one hand, it is totally preventable and reversable. Even if they have health isuues, they *can* lose the weight and their health would start to return.
On the other hand, they can't work. What are earth should they do??
Also, there is the issue of the way that our economy works, crap food is way cheaper than healthy food, so poverty is another issue...[/QUOTE]
I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read this thread. It seems like it could be a vicious cycle..
Also, do you think there is discrimination among many employers when it comes to hiring obese people? If they do go out and try to find jobs but wont get hired due to discrimination, then how can they support themselves?
It is a sticky situation that I would prefer not to make judgements because I have never lived in their shoes.
