People with weight problems, the one group of people that can be made fun of without fear of repercussions.

You're all over the board here. First, you seem to suggest that making comments about fat people is some how racist or bigoted and now you're dragging alcoholics and druggies into the discussion to somehow make fat people seem less lazy? |

And my initial point was, and still is, that people with wieght problems are viewed as less of a person. Same way various groups (blacks, Irish, etc.) have been viewed throughout history. Are there fat people out there that are lazy slobs that would rather eat a bag of chips vs. get up and take a walk? You bet. However, people tend to paint with a broad brush. |

Calories in / Calories out. Every time. Whatever the reason, painted with any brush, it always comes down to this. |

There are SO many people who claim to have "tried everything", but never made a true effort to change themselves for the better. The negative perception of people who are obese is driven mostly (at least in my case) by a judgement of their personality. If you're fat and happy, then good for you, but I don't want to hear you whine about it if you're not making a concerted effort to do something about it. |

Likewise, I am 100% opposed to the soda ban. Too much of a slippery slope for my tastes, no pun intended. |

I already said that's the first thing that crosses my mind, and I will wait patiently for you to find a single link of any info that says otherwise.
I really don't care either way, but the sooner that people embrace the truth, the better. On a side note, please don't associate Omaha's defiintion of fat with my own. Omaha fat: Notorious fat: |
