I handle this by asking antifat "activists" : If you wouldn't be prejudiced against me for the color of my skin, why are you so upset about the amount of my skin?

Here's to a live and let live world, where you don't make an issue of my size, and I don't try to sue your butt off for my lifestyle choices.

There's a difference between color of skin and amount below your skin. Being fat is not heathly. When someone is fat and they are 20, it mainly only "looks bad." However, when the same person is 40 they start to have health problems. They have trouble climbing stairs. They increased chances of cholestrol problems, heart problems, diabetes. Their knees and ankles go quicker. Do you know a fat guy that is 90? It's not a matter of skin color or religious preference. It's a matter of health. Europeans are a lot thinner because they walk much more, they don't eat any better. It's just they burn a lot of their calories.

Forget kooky diets. It's simplely the first law of thermodynamics. Energy in=energy out....or in this case Food intake - Energy spent = what's left over. A negative number and you'll loose weight. So either eat less or walk more or both. 1 lbs equals roughly 3500 calories. Since the "average" diet is 2500 calories, you have to eat 500 less calories per day for a week to loose one pound.

It's time to stop feeling sorry for yourselves and start being pro-active.
