The article Obesity Impacts Weight Of Nations is frightening and nobody is doing much about it. I read that some airlines are refurbishing the cabin seating arrangement by making the isle seats wider by two inches. These wider seats will be for fat people at a loss of comfort for the middle/window seat passengers, each having to sacrifice one inch.

When I see on television a fat politician – our role models – I see red. We all face stresses in life, so it’s not an excuse for a public figure (and obese hospital staff!) to ignore self-discipline. They must change lifestyles as diets are not the answer.
