Go through your food cabinet and look at the ingredients. How many chemicals are in all those boxes and cans? How far do you have to drive to get a healthy meal vs a double cheeseburger with a supersized fries? How many different hormones are the cattle and chickens injected with to make them plumper with a bigger yield of meat?

this is a great point. I think thats what is so upsetting about fat discrimination because, in some respects, the differences in how we eat and what we eat today are so drastically different that its not entirely the fault of the obese person that they are obese. Yes, we have free will, but I think most would agree that the media is incredibly persuasive.
