Most people just joke about it which is fine. We normally don't react until our ox gets gored. But the use of weight issuses to drive things like taxation (soda taxes) medical care (Weight panels that Michele Obama wants to institute) and even banning TV actors because they are too fat (see Mike and Molly controversy with that ignorant twat Maura Kelly of Marie Claire). <br /><br />Since an abosolute majority of Americans would be classified as "overweight" maybe we should look at it.<br /><br />I don't think there should be a college course though. I think most college courses are a waste of time. That's why professors...no all teachers should be replaced with robots.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-31058093501415352502010-11-05T10:12:00.285-05:002010-11-05T10:12:00.285-05:00a fat activist group?
