Being obese is just as, if not MORE unhealthy than smoking cigarettes.
The person who wrote the letter is right.
The news anchor is wrong.
It's that simple.
Especially when she equated being obese to having a particular skin color ...
You CHOOSE to be obese; you can't choose your race.edit on 10/3/2012 by JPhish because: I wanted to point out another way this news anchor is being stupid ...

Also of note, your the one juxtaposing your inner failings on others, as I and others never said we hate her being fat, I was merely pointing out that the guy was absolutely right, she is fat and disgusting

All i see is another attempt to say we need to regulate the internet and have a internetID all to "protect" kids. If you want to protect kids on the internet, don't give them unrestricted access to the net, don't allow them to make a facebook account that only teaches them share personal info online.

The story below is hateful, yet great all at the same time... A CBS news anchor received an email from a gentlemen a very hurtful email that should NEVER have happened, but it did. In the video you will see exactly what was written to the female news anchor and I'll let you decide if he "has a point" or if he crossed the line. The reason why I'm posting this video is because how the female news anchor responded to the gentlemen. IMO, she killed him with kindness and she did it by bringing awareness to a issue our country is seeing today...Bullying... With October being anti-bullying awareness month, its good to see people out there who care to not lash back when they're hurt, but instead they care to educate so these things will not happen again. Please take a look at the story and video and let me know what you think ATS...

Wow, some feisty, hateful fellows here. I always wonder whether those keyboard worriors would've been so nasty and angry when met F2F in a real life row.
I think I - and to be honest, I suppose many of you guys should try this - will never understand and try to understand the mind of idiot human creature. Hate is a powerful destructive feeling, has many reasons and outcomes but mainly it gives nothing more than more hate.
I really do not give a single f if people want to be fat, are born gay, want to marry people of the same sex, adopt kids having partners of the same sex, take drugs, watch porn, dring alcohol, coffee or coke, sleep with sex-dolls or stroll naked on the street.
I just DO NOT MIND. As long as others and my country do not interfere with my lifestyle why should I mind the one of others? Loose some nerves over some overweight th anchor or actor? Say what?
Hate and bullying comes from idiot minds, that is simple as it sounds.

This is going to be my last reply to this thread because honestly, some of these responses are depressing.
Obesity is a health condition, a health condition that you just happen to be able to see. It can be self inflicted, yes, but it is still a health condition.
Now let's say you hear through the grape vine that a person you don't really know has HIV or cancer. Do you walk up to them and start telling them that HIV or cancer is "bad for their health?" Don't you think they already know that? Do you write them an email and tell them that they are a "bad example" because they are sick? Do you yell at them "HIV," "cancer?" Do you go on about them on an internet forum? Probably not.
A person's health is not our business.
Yes free speech! By all means defend the right of the person who wrote the email but you must also defend the right of the woman who replied to that email.
I'm sorry, but.... I stopped the video at 1 minute 34 seconds. That's how long it took for me to think of something else to do. (For those interested, I windexed my computer screen)

She had 3 kids... Sometimes ladies put on weight after child birth. It could be a thyroid issue, it could be genetics...
It could be she eats too much.
She concedes that she is obese yet objects to someone pointing it out in reference to her being a poor role model for young girls.
Obese is the new gay?

It's what's inside that counts and if everyone would just focus on that the world would be a better place.
The world has gone to hell in a hand basket and it's mainly because we're all so concerned with appearances.
