At last! - A newspaper article about fat people that does not mock them or tell them to eat less and stop being lazy!

Obesity: It's time to stop the fat attack - The Independent

Extracts:

"Myths about fatness abound. US academic Paul Campos, author of The Obesity Myth, debunks many of them. For instance, the idea that Americans are getting fatter because of fast food is questionable. "The heaviest consumers of fast food in this country are single men in their 20s who weigh less than the average American," says Campos.

Another common misconception is that fat people are lazy. Recent evidence from the Early Bird study in Plymouth, which is tracking the weight and activity of 300 children, found no link between how much kids do and what they weigh."

"Obesity is harmful, but so are lots of things we do to ourselves. And while obese people do harm to themselves but not to others, they do not deserve the negative press and moral vilification that is so widespread. Fatism is just about the only irrational prejudice that is still deemed acceptable. Let's get rid of it. "

Nice to see an article that is sympathetic to fat people. - But if you are fat and would like to lose weight, here is how to do it:

Give up dieting/'slimming'! - Dieting does not work and is harmful.
Eat good meals, including plenty of fruit and freshly cooked vegetables.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
