  • ambulances for the ample

    This is a complex problem. This response is lengthy. I hope you read it as there is information that many folks either don't know or perhaps don't care to know. However, Once read it is my hope that you leave with greater understanding and appreciation of the challenges involved. It is not a simple case of business wanting to discriminate against ...

  • Obese on planes

    Okay, I'm obese and I'm telling you that flying is literally painful. The seat arms dig into my body, the tray doesn't open flat for my meal or paperwork, and my legs always cramp up in the close quarters. Why not, offer three classes? Really, why not offer larger seats with extra leg room at a larger (not doubled) price and charge less for the ...

    OF COURSE!!! Obese people should always be required to pay more, cigarette smokers are... Obesity is the cause of so many medical problems... I'm so tired of all the fattys out there blaming their largeness on a ''Thyroid Problem'' In my opinion it's a combination of low self-esteem, with poor eating habits learned as a child from their obese ...

  • Chris Christie too fat?

    There is a lot of discrimination handed to those who are obese. It follows that this would carry over into the political arena as well.

  • glutton intolerance

    It is an interesting thesis that we should be much more tolerant of the obese. Somehow I don't think that is going to happen in our lifetimes.

  • Obesity: The Extennt Of Personal and Social responsibility

    I live in Texas and work for a community-based non-profit, supporting myself and my young daughter on a monthly pre-tax income of less than $1400 per month. I shop primarily at Wal-Mart and know what it means to budget my personal expenses while at the same time providing myself and my child with nourishing - albeit not always exciting - meals. ...

  • Not fat tax, health tax

    I'm a supporter of a tax on calories, something like a value-added tax. The funds would be directed towards providing universal health care. A certain floor could be refunded at the end of each year based on recommended daily calories per person. Since those of us who are obese and above use the health care system more, this is a way of: (a) ...
