Obesity

Contrary to popular belief, fat people can't help it, it is genetic. Observing the ongoings of my own family, this supposed revelation comes as no surprise. Obviously, there comes an element of human behavior: eating lots and exercising little clearly doesn't help, yet we can put to rest arguments suggesting discriminate taxes for overweight individuals (to an extent). Obesity is just another fluctuation within our evolutionary genetic code; some have it, but others don't. Pop down to your local swimming pool and you'll identify those people who could eat lots and put on weight, but also those who could eat lots and put on no weight. Here, I call for "fat-ism" to be totally eradicated.
