constantly confused
Does this bug anyone else?
Obesity is on the tv every other day, and it feels like the last thing you allowed be prejudiced against, with Thingy from Dragons Den openly saying he would never hire an overweight person. Would he feel the same about a smoker I wonder? Or someone who binge drinks at the weekends?
Every time there is a news story there are shots of people's tummys and bums, just in case we forget what overweight people look like. What is the benefit of that? Do they really think people wont recognise themselves (or other people wont recognise them) because they have cut their head off? Or there are always shots of larger people eating. EVERYBODY eats! If you followed posh spice around you'd find her shoving something in her mouth!
I wonder if they realise that this is contributing to the problem? I see stuff like that and I feel less like a person, and more like a social problem or some kind of sub-human. Low self esteem is a major factor in weight problems, so why do the powers that be think that treating people like scum is going to help?
Sorry, felt the need to rant! Finished now
