| My grandmother, mother and niece were/are obese, while I've always been rather thin (I weighed 140# well into my 40s). I was/am a witness to the health problems caused by being overweight. My grandmother and mother died from the effects of their obesity, and my niece is having to deal with diabetes.
I wouldn't say I feel revulsion at the sight of an obese person. I do feel sad and concerned. It's particularly to see so many fat, overweight children. |
