- Did anyone see the article in the Sunday Times about discrimination
- against the obese? It was pretty interesting but what bothered
- me was that they kept citing scientists who said that they are
- finding that obesity is something people can't control (and that
- if the public could understand this there might not be so much
- discrimination, etc.). I think that maybe the real idea is that
- in order to control obesity it takes much more discipline than
- most people have to demonstrate in their lives, in fact for some
- it might take an impossible amount.
-
- I don't know...my thoughts aren't really well formed on this. I'd
- type the article in but its quite long. Perhaps I can type in
- some excerpts... Did any one else read it?
