Sam, I like your article and am surprised by some of the responses.

Compassion & help is what is required for the over consumption of food which is an addiction.

If we continue to consume at the level we are then it truly will affect more then just then the body. The whole earth is being effected. It is obvious.

I don’t feel like obesity is the cause of global warming.If this is the cause then almost the world popualion is obese.If your one pound over weight then you are fat.For one pound to a 90 pound person is a lot of weight so figure that one out.People talk too much about things that has no meaning.That would mean a lot of hot air coming out of peoples mouth which in my opinion could cause global warming.It would be a lot better and cooler if people would keep their mouths shut………………………

there is NO excuse for being obese. NONE! People who blame their weight issues on genetics or other ridiculous excuses are just not trying hard enough. If you took 10 obese people and put them in the middle of a jungle for a year and all they had to eat was roots, berries, nuts, and so on, those 10 people would come back significantly slimmer. You can’t eat what isn’t available. It is all about self control and the will to want to live a long, healthy life.

if your going to blame fat people for global warming now, why not blame the big mouths who talk alot like Politicians, think about it they talk so much about it that theyre using more oxygen than a fat person does (and im not joking). theyre blaming cars, fat people, over crowding in towns and cities heck theyre even blaming cows now, but they wont blame themselves

With the fuel crisis, airlines are raising fares, some are even charging to check bagagges, however they have always charged for overweight baggage.
Airlines should start charging higher fairs for obese passengers. They should determine a maximum allowence for _combined weight_ of passenger and their luggage and charge accordingly. Of course, in USA they will scream “discrimination”, even more if they are obese minority people, generating lawsuits galore.
Attention airline execs: you must be concerned about surcharges for obese passengers
I hope to see solutions.

As a thin and fit person I feel that fat people are a real problem in our culture and take more resources from the rest of us. We need to unite as the beautiful people and set them straight. We need to yank that fork from their bloated fingers and make them see how repulsive they are. Shame a fatty save a whale is my motto.

Global warming asides, I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up an NGO where folk abroad wishing to loose weight can change a pound of flesh for a pound of flesh for the impoverished. A Pound for a Pound. Calorie Transfer.
It would work like this. I as a wieghty person will skip a meal a day for ‘x’ amount of dollars. At the end of the month I will donate the amount I have saved to an organisation that will make sure this money goes to teaching the impoverished how to grow their food,in Kenya,thus more sustainable than just a food transfer.
On the ground we would reciprocate with a blog site helping the recipients to blog their successes and gratitude. I imagine this would cause a double feel good factor for all. Anyone interested?

American car manufacturers did a study within the last 2 years which proved that obese people get much less car mileage from a gallon of gas than normal weight people. And “obese” means just that: it isn’t big, chubby, or pleasingly plump. If you can’t recognize it yet, then move to the American South. Mississippi and Georgia have some of the highest rates of obesity in the world. They also have some of the lowest incomes and highest school dropout rates in the country: factors which correlate closely with morbid obesity. The term “obesity” is not a moral judgement, it is a medical evaluation. Causes other than “issues” (please spare me the psycho-babble) are behind the obesity epidemic: reliance on cars, disappearance of outdoor “play” areas, and the manufacture and marketing of
unhealthy foods, to name the obvious.
