Maybe if we went back to ragging on them again we could get rid of this obesity epidemic that is taxing the hell out of our health care system and getting worse every year. Whats really so bad about having a social stigma against fat people? They chose to be that way or at least they didn't choose not to. Am I right? If we could get everyone to shape up this way then they would live longer and it would be worth the initial social pains they went through to get there wouldn't it?

I'm open to other ideas, but tolerance has obviously not helped the situation and I don't hear any other ideas. Something has to be done we can't just accept being a nation of obese people.

I'm agreeing. This problem seems to mainly strike the West, notably the US and the UK. Both are seeing a rise in obesity.
There isn't really an excuse to be fat in today's world (unless it has medical reasons). The information about healthy living, proper food, gyms - they are all out there!
I watched this 'fat people' episode of a talk show and they had this health nutritionist on there and she said people should only eat foods that were around 200 years ago - modern food is mainly processed and bad for you.
I also used to be fat. When I was a little kid I ate junk and got fat. When I got into school and started to realize that thinner kids were better at sports and generally more confident, I decided to lose the weight and I did. I'll say this: junk food my make you feel great but the feeling of being fit, slim and confident is way better!

I couldn't agree more.. give me a break. It is shear stupidity to allow yourself to get that fat. Turn the tv off and go for a walk, eat an apple, and stop making excuses for your fat lazy ***.
