That blog author also says "Michelle Obama�s war on fat kids pisses me off"

Michelle Obama�s war on fat kids pisses me off, too. The focus on food availability and fun physical activities for kids is awesome. Wrapping it up as an �obesity� issue is so damaging.

I just feel extremely sad when I see excessively overweight people...especially when they're in line at an all-you-can-eat buffet.... - MorbidMeg Oct 23, 11:25 6
- Agreed with all of that. I also realize there are people who, at their skinniest, might still be considered overweight. - ty97 Oct 23, 11:27 3
  - I think the trick is not to judge people individually, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about an underlying problem - Guigue Oct 23, 11:30 2
    - I fully agree with not judging individually. She goes a step further and say don't equate obesity and health at all. -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 11:44
    - And of course some people will still feel targeted no matter what, but it doesn't mean we should fight a problem just to spare their feelings -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 11:32
