Surgeon General Richard Carmona stated that:
“America’s obesity epidemic will dwarf the threat of terrorism if the country does not reduce the number of people who are severely overweight. Unless we do something about it, the magnitude of the dilemma will dwarf 9/11 or any other terrorist attempt.”
That’s right, I am doing more harm to this country then terrorists. I would really like to know how this jackass came up with that. Explain to me how me being fat is causing more problems for our society then terrorists? Fat people, regardless of whether they are healthy or not, are clearly one of the only groups left in our society that are fair game for anyone to insult, anyone to degrade, anyone to make fun of, even supposedly “liberal/progressive” people who are “above” that. Since I am fat and society has deemed me unacceptable then I am considered a lower class citizen then “thin” supposedly healthy people thus it is ok to ridicule me, insult me and just take at all your insecurities and issues out on me. Cause it’s not like I am a human being with feelings and emotions.

March 6, 2006 at 12:24 pmThat is so retarded, that statement! It seems as if America won’t be happy until all of its citizens are all identical in weight. Thinking about everyone being thin and supposedly “perfect” eminds me of the Stepford Wives…eh…

*rolls eyes*
I think I have to take offense at saying obesity is more of a threat to this country than terrorism. Now, I may have rolls and blubber, but that isn’t killing thousands of people – only myself!

April 27, 2006 at 5:51 pm[…] That’s right, The Grim Reaper seems to be completely clueless. Every night while watching the news I have people, supposedly people in the know that we should trust, telling me that there is a deadly “obesity epidemic” sweeping our nation killing off Americans and that it must be stopped cause fat people are worse then terrorist. Yet these new findings seem to completely contradict all the bullshit that these so called professionals spew out every night. This war on fat is so fucking stupid. It has nothing to do about the health of the over weight, it has to do with pure prejudice. People can be whatever and whoever they want and live how the want unless it’s involves being fat. So to all you fat haters out there kiss my big fat ass! […]
