I'm not actually advocating "superheroism" or evangelical beating of the anti fat drum. I just don't think we should collectivly sweep the whole thing under the rug for fear of upsetting people who are slowly killing themselves through a lifestyle choice.
Take any number of illegal substances and there are a mass of folk who will shout and scream about how bad it is for you/them/society/you kids etc etc. Put on a mass of lard and everyone suddenly has to be a model of empathy/sympathy/understanding.
Tell it how it is.
