Okay, a few days ago, someone on one of the sites where I freelance posted an article talking about how fat people are destroying America. I won't post a link to her article here, because I really don't want to give her anymore page views than she's already received for what I believe to be hate speech, hostile at the best, and completely unfounded in fact.
She blames obesity and overweight people for everything from increasing health care costs for all Americans, she said fat people are to blame for why there's problems with education, she states that fat people are a threat to national security, and even goes so far as to say that fat people will be the downfall of America and it's ability compete in a global marketplace.
She continued to say that, basically, the root of all evil is fat people, and that pretty much all fat people are simply lazy gluttons who eat too much and are trying to make the rest of the world believe that fat is okay.
I would love to hear your comments on this article I have written. you can view the article here: http://tinyurl.com/we8mc
This link will take you to my article on Associated Content. I'd love for everyone who wants to read the article and let me know - after reading it, do YOU think fat people are destroying America?

One slim lady she is for sure.I think its really stupidly hilarious.something written by someone who has lots of free time on her hands.As per her artical I think then most of the world's problem are caused by fat people.Japan, Korea,china should be listed as most poor of the lot as many sumo belong to those nations.World's fattest man also is from somewhere there.She is one crazy lady.

I know, smoking hasn't done anything to health care costs right? Not bashing smokers, my fiance is one, but come on, really. Some people just have way too much time on their hands. I guess she must be just a perfect, non smoking, slim, loving person right? It's people like her that cause problems in the world with their rude, hypocritial, judgmental attitude. She just put her own foot in her mouth, as I can say people like her are the root of all evil, making people believe that it is acceptable to be rude and inconsiderate of others.
