Exactly where in my comment did you read that I think being overweight is normal or that I offered an excuse. Perhaps you did not read this portion of my comment:
"There is a treatment and it works for 100 percent of these people. Remove all artificial sweeteners, preservatives and dyes from the diet. Your body was not designed to process these things. It keeps pharmaceutical companies and big processing plants in business. They are not there for your health but for the coin in the pocket book. That means that most factory made breads, most frozen dinners, canned food...... and go to a complete natural diet. Fruit, vegetables that are raw and you have to cook, and if you eat meat or fish then make it fresh. And to loose weight, do not bother spending money on a gym; simple things like get rid of the remote control and actually get up and change channels, mow your own lawn, when you go to the store park further away from the entrance, stand up when you talk on the phone, if you see trash on your sidewalk bend over and pick it up. "
You may consider me as "spreading unhealthy rhetoric to others" or you can stop and think about what artificial sweetners and preservatives have done to our nations. And there is evidence that support my position. Read:

You may be interested to know that in my family we have several doctors and I read the material they are given.
I respect your opinion, but your comment is both unwarranted and offensive. You did not read my comment, or perhaps you read but did not comprehend what I wrote. I do not talk to hear myself talk, I research first and then I make comments. Perhaps in the future, a simple question on where I got my information will help you make a decision on how best to respond.

While it might not be nice picking on fat people (I've never been obese, but was a bit overweight before changing my diet), websites, magazines, advertising that try to portray obese people as healthy are MUCH WORSE! These simply give morbidly obese people something to hang onto and continue to eat themselves into diabetes and a coffin. Sorry if I offended anyone with this, but just like every other science I try to preach, do the research and find out how healthy you really are. If you are young and obese, your BP and glucose might be okay, but I guaranty it will catch up to you in a few years. If you are older, obese and still healthy, you are simply lucky or have exceptional genes, please don't spread your unhealthy rhetoric to others. Again, sorry but sometimes the truth shouldn't be "sugar coated".
