  • Ambulance riding whales...

    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 ...

  • fat wheelchair user

    Good points in the article. BUT ....then the author says ''you'll have to prove that your weight condition is something like being wheelchair-bound or mentally retarded—not such a good way to reduce weight stigma overall.'' In that by that comment, even while the article was reducing stigma of fat people (me), it suddenly increased ...

  • Taxing someone because they are fat!

    Get real! Taxing someone because they are overweight is inhuman! The real culprit is the American diet and prescription drugs. When one's metabolism is out-of-whack, one can not lose their storage of unwanted fat. However, it is possible through dietary changes and lessening the need for prescription drugs. Learn ...

  • It's not because you're fat

    I remember reading an essay in my freshmen writing class about ''hate crimes,'' that basically concluded that most people only make demeaning remarks or do hateful things because they just don't like the other person. If that other person happens to be a different race, they will tend to use racist remarks. If they are fat, they will make fat ...

  • The Gluten Syndrome

    It's hard to change isn't it, particularly when one does not fully understand why. This article reflects the social confusion that results from a ''party'' that has gone many decades too long. We've had too much fun with sugar and processed food, chemicals, etc. Now we are so toxic and messed up that we can't digest ''real'' food and it has ...

  • Let's Piss Off Fat People - Great Idea!

These Government Bureaucrats want to blame these Taxpaying, Voting 2/3 of Americans for our health care costs. These Tax-Funded, Benefit-Sucking, Civil Service ...

  • Fat Seats

    Wow, imagine the stigma of having to sit in the ''fat seats''. Every time you board a plane, you'll know exactly where to look to find the fat people on the plane.

  • Lard

    Lard increases the tendency to obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is a particularly abhorrent food for children. This is an inane article and insults the intelligence of anyone who knows anything about good nutrition, medicine or good food. Michael Pollan would not be happy to have his name mentioned by this author. Jay Gordon, ...

  • In response to Portly Johns

    William Saletan, I hope you read this. I read with interest the article on the possibility of mass-obesity creating a new economy to accomodate fatness. Back around 1985, 2000AD a futurist comic-strip (famous for Judge Dread) ran a one-off comic in their 'Future Shock' series about exactly the same fatty phenomena. Click on these links ...
