Overweight 'should be protected'

It's a very complex issue but assaulting people and discriminating against them because of their physical appearance is illegal in this country, and rightly so. I see no reason as to why this should not be extended to overweight people.

It's the idea that doctors should be stopped from encouraging people to loose weight, it's one of the jobs of doctors to be that nagging voice in your head encouraging you to improve your health be it loose weight, quite smoking, drink less e.t.c
