In reply to Razwell. Nobody blames the victims; what we are talking about here is social pressure. If it doesn't work, then why did social pressure curb the rate of smokers?

Blaming victims of obesity MAKES NO SCIENTIFIC SENSE AT ALL says Dr. Jeffrey Friedman. It is as scientifically erroneous as erroneous can possibly be. COMPLETE MISUSE and ABUSE of the First law of Thermodynamics.

I have spoken with TOP physicists such Dr. Susskind and Dr. Tyson. Intenet Bloggers MISUSE thermodynamics.

In reply to Cindy. I don't think anyone is trying to make you a monster, but being overweight is a health risk. Jeffries was not very tactful about it, but I do believe that the ideas of the "fact acceptance" movement are as problematic.

In reply to Dr. J. Exactly. I don't value Jeffries or A&F very highly, but the indignation his comments caused do seem to be a bit misplaced.

Abercrombie? Isn’t that the new official brand of the homeless?

I have to say what I don’t like about the words of Mike Jeffries is the implication that only good looking people are cool, popular and have a great attitude. I’m fat I can’t wear any popular brands of clothes and I have no problem with companies marketing to whatever group they want to. Go where the money is! Just don’t try to tell me who I am and what I am like based on the size of my hips. It’s just not right try to make me the monster that everybody is supposed to run away from just so you can sell some clothes.

I admire you for taking a risky position on this, EC!

As I understand it, in Japan it is very hard to find larger sized clothes anywhere.

Obesity is a serious economic and health problem. As the elephant in the room it must be addressed, with clothes or without!
