BINGO


Wow. Such hatred for those who are obese. No wonder making fun of
"fat" is the world's last acceptable bigotry.

For the record, I know several families who have adopted and biological
children. The biological children have issues with their weight. The
adopted children (who were placed in the homes at 10 days of age) do not
suffer the same weight issues.

To state that genetics does not play a role in obesity and that fat
people are just gluttonous pigs is small minded and uneducated.
