Oh hush. Who cares if we are bigger now than 50 years ago? I am not big at all but really get sick of all these fat jokes. Besides, do you really want Santa to go on a diet?

Every first-world country is getting heavier, so don't be too put out.

A goal of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is the inclusion of "height and weight" as a protected category in existing civil rights statutes and the enactment of additional laws as necessary to ensure protection against size discrimination in employment, education, housing, and public accommodations.

The problem is that National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance does not show how fat people are being discriminated against in any of these areas. confused

^ Well, obese people are considered less desirable in the job market even if they have the exact same qualifications as another.

I can see how people have problems overeating, though. I'm not an overeater; I'm an overdrinker. If there is a glass of liquid set in front of me, I will drain the glass and eat the ice (assuming that it isn't urine or something). Just a week ago I kept drinking water until I nearly vomited...sad.

I don't like looking at obese people. They may have physical/mental disorders that result in them being fat, but I don't care. Fatness is minging.........yeeeeeuch.

Arachnoidfreak
I love fat people.

They make great chairs.

lol.. I highly doubt only america dabbles in 'fatness'.. the nationality nonsense is tiresome..

in any case.. these fat people are rediculous.. they honestly have no self esteem or energy to go out and live.. once you start to exercise it just becomes ritual.. I suppose they are afraid of that aspect or something

MC Mike
I've been to tens of countries, and none of them have quite as many obese persons as my own home, the US. The "nationality nonsense" of course doesn't make everyone in the US fat, or everyone in other areas of the world thin, but the ratio is quite astounding here.

Does it really matter at the end of the day? If you dont like to look at fat folks then dont look, or better yet shed yourself of silly prejudices. Is it unhealthy? Probably, but I think its just as likely to die from a car wreck as it is from obesity. I'm not fat but given the choice, I'd rather enjoy my life. The only reason I see for diet & exercise is if your weight bothers YOU and not because anyone else gives you their reasons. I personally am way more concerned with the other end of the spectrum, problems with anorexia & bulimia.

FeceMan
Still, this association is pathetic. No, make that pathetique.
