Acceptance vs Supporting--The issue on the big F

FAT
Yes, fat is so much a problem (or a blessing) in this world. It is the rich man disease that is taking this world like a growing storm. Being fat to some is a curse. For some, its just another dimension of beauty. What do you think?

Acceptance: SHOULD WE ACCEPT FAT AND OBESE PEOPLE?
Come on, obviously a 100 percent yes!! Fat PEOPLE== notice the word in caps! No matter the size, the fact is that everyone deserves to be accepted not based on their appearances. There should be no discrimination against fat people.

According to statistics, the fattest country in the world is--> THE LAND OF THE FREE: USA. With an approximate of 30.6% of its population being obese,munching and slacking on the couch is clearly one of their favorite past times. If we follow the statistics, and I was in America, it would mean that in a class of 30 around 10 people would be obese. This is definitely a large number. And it doesn't make sense why on earth we should discriminate against them. To discriminate against the fat is to be like discriminating into a rapidly growing group that may form a large percentage of our world population in the future.

More importantly, what are fat people? They are humans. Yes, they look just like me and you; only they are in a larger size. Does anyone deserve to be discriminated because of their looks? Never ever. As Cliche as it is, the truth is that it is the heart that matters. Fat can be ugly to some, but when ever did the milk of kindness or morality consider "ugliness"? Cut a fat person and you'll get red blood. Though it may mean more cutting, the blood that pours out is the same in colour.

We should love fat people just like we love others. Don't treat them extra special, that'll just make things worse. Just treat them equally. yes pals, equality.

SUPPORTING:
So, do I support the notion of being fat? (when i mean fat I mean overweight)
Well, honestly I don't. Simply because being overweight(fat) is unhealthy. Cardiovascular diseases and impeding of movements are just some of the problems that fat people encounter. Being fit and trim is very important, because we only have one body to take care of. There's no need to be a health freak, but maintaining a healthy weight should be a must. the big Fs'are just like like youths who enjoy social solidarity in a skate park-it's hard to chase them away.

Therefore, it is of great importance that we never become overweight.

As for those who are in the eyes of society are fat, there's nothing to be ashamed of. We accept these people and we love them. It's just like if someone is not good in a subject, we don't hate the person, we just try to spur them on. Yet, it is true that our bodies are ours. We have the prerogative to be fat or be thin. As such, if one really thinks that the notion of being fat should be supported, then so be it.

Some people think "big is beautiful". And I do agree that big can be beauiful. It's good to see big and confident women. However, the concerns of health will always pull on my heart, and as such, I do believe that I will never support and encourage a person to be fat. However, acceptance must be in order, and it is.
