If you can, I recommend you watch it. Even if you are not a fan of the series, it puts a lot into perspective about fat people, the way they treat themselves, and the way they expect others to treat them.


As far as your video, I read the article about her yesterday. I don't agree with what that viewer said. If your kid aspires to be fat because they see a fat news anchor then you failed as a parent. Whenever I saw or even see a fat person now it motivates me to be more active and live a healthier lifestyle. Personally I believe the rail thin models who snort coke off the toilet they empty their stomachs into are worse role models for children than this lady.

Well put, it is a very sensitive issue to talk about. My entire family is obese, and I watched my younger brother get made fun of growing up in grade school. We ate the same meals, grew up playing sports, he was just heftier for some reason.

I'm not going to get in the middle of this one, all I can say is there are people that try like hell to stay / get trim and can't, there are people who don't give a shit, and will eat 2 orders of Mc Donalds fries and 2 Big Macs with a Diet Coke because they can, and then there are diabetic people who can't help it.
Then there are those disgusting people like my grandfather that can eat as much, as often as he wants, and is lucky enough to have a metabolism that won't let him gain weight.

Nutrition and opinion of the appearance of fat people (mainly women) is two different things. People cant just say: "well hell... your right. im as fat as all get up. im gonna go crap out about a 100lbs for ya. ill be right back" and then suddenly they look normal. you have to be a bit more logical in your judgement.

On another note... Im a guy and i love big girls. You are seriously missing out on something if u cant appreciate a cute big girl. missing something else too! lol. im not that big myself either so its not about me being big too. Sugar Bear sure likes his girls "Vol-lumpt-you-us" as evident on honey boo boo! rock on brother!

Is she true though? Are people too superficial today and too hard of obese people?

To answer the OP - I think we're to "hard" on all people. Obese people are just a % of the people that encounter bullying. You can have a ugly scar, bad hair, weird eyes, be the wrong race, have a lisp, to thin, to fat, to ugly, or to pretty. People are to hard on people! Not just people with appearance issues either, we judge people who are unemployed, gay, on welfare, been arrested, etc. without first finding out why. Without knowing why, we cannot make prejudgment or assumptions of someone.

We know people judge others to often because there isn't a single person in this world... who hasn't been judged in one way or another. We live in a land of opinions, where everybody has a different one. We, knowing this, need to learn how to cope with the negativity. Because it's not going away. Especially when most of us live in areas of the world that allow freedom-of-speech. Although, our freedom-of-speech is becoming more censored everyday.

That's the problem with the whole fucking world. You bash gays you're a homophobe, they cancelled bujus shows and took away beenie and bounty's visas. You diss Islam or the prophet they bomb everything, you diss jews you're anti semetic, you diss blacks, whites or whoever you're racist, you diss fat people you get a fat bitch justifying her fatness, everyone takes offense to the slightest shit. What ever the fuck happened to sticks and stones.

Is the writer of the email really that out of line? He makes a valid point, that people see every day the tv personalities, and kids think that whatever they see on tv is how life should be. We have some porkers on the local tv stations, and it drives me nuts they just get bigger. Take that fried chicken out of your mouth and go for a walk!

JK. They weren't that nasty, but perhaps making a poorly illustrated (sp?) point that making an effort to make a lifestyle change could perhaps change peoples lives for the better?

Maybe instead of making a scene about how she knows she's over weight and chooses not to do anything about it, she could start an onair contest on losing some weight. Win win for everyone.

Or maybe I'm just a jerk.

When are these people gonna learn? NOTHING tastes as good as being skinny !! Joke!

I think a lot of people get a hard time for being overweight and they prob just have a slow metabolism whilst others live unhealthy. Its up to the individual at the end of the day. We don't like it when people go on at us for smoking too much do we?

My sister was the same height as me but weighed abt 40% more than me. We were just different. My Dad was also overweight and my Mum very slim. Just the way the cookie crumbles!!

It's the difference between dissing individuals (which is a part of life) and dissing categories, tarring all the individuals in that category with the same brush. If you do not see how that is wrong, somewhere a baby unicorn is having its eyelids taped open and being forced to watch Bob Saget's entire videography. cn
