(I.e. You're comfortable in your [obese] body - you shouldn't be)
Why are we OK with telling anorexics that they need to correct their lifestyle since it is unhealthy but are reticent to tell the morbidly obese the same? We don't see anorexics declaring, I am beautiful just the way I am (i.e. I don't need to change my eating habits even though they are killing me). When will we realize that obesity is the other side of the spectrum on which we find anorexia and stop enabling them in their eating disorder? It's a huge health issue (I am not meaning that to be a pun) that is going to have ramifications for everyone (obese or not), especially as we move towards single payer health care.
