Re: 147
My main point though is that she may actually be a pretty healthy girl, and may actually lead a healthy lifestyle. Physical appearance belies most things, including health.

(Anonymous) 2010-03-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)Go on...I'll wait.
Now, walk around for the next year with it strapped to your body. Go ahead. Then let me know if your knees, your back and other parts are a wee bit sore.
My husband is a nurse practitioner. No matter how you slice it, or dice it, excess body weight puts pressure on the joints, the heart, the respritory system, the kidneys...all of you. This isn't rocket science.
Morbid obesity is on the rise in this country, and in other industrialized nations. Also on the rise? Infertility, diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, strokes, back surgeries, c-sections, infant mortality, knee surgeries, hip replacement and other issues.
Children in the United States are dying, or being permanently disabled, from issues related directly to morbid obesity. One out of every four children in this country is considered obese.
What obesity does NOT correlate to is a person's talent, worth or beauty as a human being. I think this girl is a fantastic actress, and she seems like a genuinely wonderful person. I think she's awesome. But let's get a bit realistic...okay? While some people have a genetic problem with weight, and people can be healthy in all kinds of shapes and sizes, this young woman is morbidly obese, and she didn't get that way eating blueberries and broccoli.
Further, because of the amount of attention that the media is giving her (and rightly so, because she's awesome!), there are impressionable kids out there thinking that there is nothing wrong with being obese.
I just don't want to see her dead in ten years, like so many other talented people, because of something that is preventable.
