[quote=Anonymous]Body acceptance is great. People come in all shapes and sizes. Enabling obesity isn't great. Morality aside, no one should be that shape or size. There are those who are obese for reasons such as sexual abuse or other childhood trauma. There are those who are overweight or obese due to genetic or metabolic conditions. However, 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese. This is crazy town. As a society, we need to revamp what we see as food and how we eat. I'm a firm believer of loving food and celebrating food. It's part of the human experience. But perhaps we could refocus on what we see as food. If you go into the grocery store, how much of that is really food? I mean, real food. My kids are served a big pretzel and nacho cheese once a week at school for lunch. They are also served a yoghurt parfait with about 150 grams of sugar, pizza, and chicken nuggets. We're teaching people how to eat like complete crap and then are surprised they get fat.[/quote]
