Would you support her having a child? If so, would you think it unreasonable for the doctor to refuse to treat her due to her condition?

The funny thing, is I have yet to hear an overweight person anywhere, take responsibility for their weight. There is always an excuse. Well what if it's your thyroid, what if you can't afford healthy food, what if you're stuck at a desk all day, what if you don't have time to exercise, and on and on and on. Not one fat person on here, had said something as simple as "I could eat healthier, I should eat healthier, I'll start fitting in 30 mins of exercise a day, and try to commit to a healthier lifestyle". Not one has taken any responsibility. How come you being obese is ALWAYS someone elses fault.
Fat people shouldn't have kids. If they can't take care of themselves, how can they care for another human being? I see fat parents, with fat kids, in the candy section of my local supermarket everyday. If the excuse is you can't afford healthy food, you shouldn't be allowed to have kids either. If you can't afford healthy enough food for yourself, to stay at a healthy weight, you can't afford it for another human being at the same time.
If you're fat, and can't find any time to exercise, you also shouldn't have kids. If you already can't find that time to workout, how the hell can you come up with the time to raise a child, and teach that child about a healthy lifestyle?
Fat people always point the finger, always have an excuse, never have time for exercise, and never have time to cook something healthy or can't afford it.Some here say they're active, eat healthy, and still gain a lot of weight. Well as a former corporate fitness specialist, I challenge any of you to follow through on one of my diet/exercise programs and see if you don't lose weight. I've been through this with hundreds of people. They're simply too lazy, or seemingly can't find 30 mins everyday, eventhough they never miss their favorite tv show. 9 times out of 10 it's pure laziness. Thyroid issues. I've helped people lose weight with that condition to. It's will power. If you want to lose weight, you can. If you're not, you're not doing enough. Any who says differently take me up on my challenge.
And when i comes to the article, we're not talking about being 15-20lbs overweight. We're talking about doctors who are afraid the table might COLLAPSE from the weight.

.........Yes our society glorifies the skinny while they push McDonalds and Coca-Cola on us. Yes there are poor people who are fat. But maybe if you're poor try making real food your priority. Real food that was grown, not processed. Food thats been exposed to water, dirt and sunshine, not machines, emusifiers, binding agents and food coloring. Do you realize they basically PAINT all those processed food to make them actually look like food, instead of what they really are - ground up GMO corn, GMO wheat and bound together with chemicals and high fructose corn syrup.
If you can't pronounce the names of the ingredients...DONT EAT IT. Make eating real food your financial priority. What's better for you and your family - food from Mother Earth or 500 channels of satellite TV? If you choose TV then you deserve you be fat and die early because your priorities are all out of order. Besides, like someone said above, with all the fad diets, Dr Phils and tv segments about health and healthy food its ignorant to still be fat. Ignorant because you IGNORE the facts that are right in front of your face...like every addict.
There is really no excuse for being an addict whether its food, porn or heroin. All addicts deny their responsibility for their addiction and fat people are no different than meth heads in this regard. Spend $50 a month on good food and not TV and you'd be surprised how fast weight would fall off. Now...what to do with all that extra skin...Yuck.
