My point is that not all overweight people got there or stay there because they are lazy and sedentary. It is not easy to lose weight, as I am learning, and have many others. Instead of belittling people for not being the ideal weight or size, society should applaud those who at least try.
You know, this whole arguement has a lot in common with other media-related arguements. One in particular I can think of is video games. Parents wanted the video games to be rated by age group and have certian games require an ID to buy. Couldn't we have said "Do it yourself, parents! It isn't hard! Why make someone else do it!" But it happened. Parents could not control what their children played, so they had the toy stores do it for them. The same with TV- how often do you see strictly adult commercials on while the sun is still out? If the government can control that much media, why not control it over this, too?
