Anyway, I think society needs to do something about this "thin is in"
mentality - we're losing too many teen-aged girls to anorexia and too many
obese adults to suicide and we're devaluing people who could otherwise
contribute a lot but aren't given a chance just because of a body size that
is usually genetic and can't be helped even with a constant, starvation diet
(I know, I tried them all and even on an 800 calorie a day diet managed to
gain weight!!!).

Hugs,

Isn't it tragic how so many people not afflicted with obesity view those
who are? I started putting on weight when I was in college, and didn't
really stop until I was well into my 30's. I'm finally managing to lose
some of my excess weight with a lot of effort, but dealing with the
attitudes of some of the more prejudiced skinny folk doesn't make it any
easier.

And as bad as it is in the US, when I used to travel to China fairly
frequently I found it to be even worse there.
