Obesity

My topic has to due with obesity and how it affects many Americans on a daily basis. Obesity is simply and excess of body weight. and is caused by the excessive accumulation of fat. It is an unhealthy trend with a rapid growth rate, quickly consuming many lives. It also presents a big social problem in society, with many children being teased and ridiculed because of their weight. In order to fix it, the issue of obesity must first be understood, and then controlled at the state it s at, and finally it must be prevented from continually occurring.

National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance

NAAFA is the only national membership organization fighting to end size discrimination, educating the public, and working to empower fat people.

Goals:

* Work towards providing equal opportunity for fat people wherever obstacles and/or discrimination exist.

* Disseminate information about the sociological, psychological, legal, medical, and physiological aspects of being fat.

* Advocate and sponsor responsible research about the various aspects of being fat.

* Empower the large number of people regarded by the medical profession as "obese" to accept themselves, to live more fulfilling lives, and to promote acceptance of fat people within society.

* Serve as a forum where issues affecting fat people can be discussed in an unbiased setting.

Now I totally agree that people should be treated fairly no matter their size .And I feel that someone should not be made fun of because they are overweight. I'm just stating that an organization is going to make people not care about their weight. They will think that it's not a problem and will look past the health risks in being obese.
