In a way, it's a shame that obesity is becoming the 'norm', because I quite like people being different and unique.
This is why I have always been a FA, because huge women (and men), used to stand out, because they were not the norm.
Obviously the health issues are a concern, but the stress of modern life means almost everyone feels the need for some 'release', be it drinking, smoking, drugs, or even extreme exercise / body-building which is also not a healthy way to live (despite the common misconceptions : I know as I used to fit into this category).
Now I'm a gainer for the first time myself, aged almost 50, I think about mortality and life a lot more. My conclusion is, I'd rather die a happy 75 year old, than live to be a miserable 90 year old.
