Urban myth.
Oh, are you referring to that smart-*** "it doesn't weigh more because a pund of this weighs the same as a pound of that" argument?

Try walking 3 miles to school everyday at 7 in the morning, or try riding a bike through some of the worst traffic you'll ever see in your life, and then tell me how reasonable that sounds.
It's enough of a problem to call for action on correcting it, that's for sure. I see too many people with this problem, and sadly not enough people working to bring themselves to a healthy weight. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should make everyone skinny. I'm not skinny, but I'm far from obese. I don't prefer that people be super skinny either. We should just strive to reach that middle ground where we're not so overweight, yet not bare bones like some people feel so much pressure to be.
Well, I'm overweight myself, and for a long time it was hard to find stylish clothes because they're made for thinner people. Plus the chairs in waiting rooms are too small for the obese. They need bigger seats for obese people. We need to accomodate the growing obese population.
I really hope you're kidding.
Do you NOT want them to have clothes or a place to sit comfortably? :-/
In the statistics observed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there was an 80% increase in fatalities for individuals who are obese. And more than half of the entire nation of the United States is overweight or obese. I think that this epidemic deserves some more attention at least.“Findings ... suggest that obese vehicle drivers are more likely to die from traffic collision-related injuries than non-obese occupants involved in the same collision.”

Its only one/third of the United States, but everything else is correct. Time to get rid of food stamps.
