From CNN wihtout the quote
cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/diet.fitness/08/02/fat.activism.ap/index.html
Anyway it was pulled before because I quoted from it. Heather made a reply if I had contacted John Kerry yet... Actually I am in the process of writing a letter to him about Obesity, and the acceptance of the surgery along with other things. Heather thinks the letter is good enough that I can be given a position hehe. I can see it now Secretary of Obesity issues
The fact that this article and NNAFA considers anyone who gets bariatric surgery to be inducsing anorexia shows that is is a load of crap to fight which surgery is the best.
OMG! That is just crazy! I for one could care less about what other people think about the way I look and I personally dont want to be "thin" But when my health started declining well I knew something had to be done and it had to be drastic. I am all for those who want to be looked at like any other person and that part of their message is a good one but I think that it is nuts to say that being obese is not unhealthy.
