On Friday the news was awash with this story. England it seems will have record numbers of obese people by 2010. The BBC made it a topic of 'Have your Say' which had a mass of cruel and derogatory comments about obese and overweight people and not to mention the patronising comments about eating and exercise! Grrr!!!!! I would love to tell some the people on HoS to just f**k off!
Once again these issues are discussed purely on a diet related basis. There is no mention of any emotional problems or difficulties that people might face in trying to lose weight. It's focusing on food, food and food. Not good for a diet. No mention of support or making exercise more accessible to everyone. I wonder if they government has ever tried looking at things from our point of view? If the government actually acknowledged the views of overweight people, rather than scaremongering with these report's - they might actually find better ways of combating obesity - rather than adding to the social stigma of it.
