Hehe...that's pretty funny. But he is right, it does make you think. For example:
"We used to think obesity was a condition that only affected people with glandular problems, but health officials are now seeing just how widespread the epidemic is," Hampton said. "There's a myth that obese people don't want to change. They do—they just lack the information about how to do it quickly and easily."
How to do it quickly and easily... Having watched people successfully lose weight, I've news for you lady: it ain't easy and it ain't quick, but it's still probably worth it. I have to wonder how many people on some level consider obesity a disease one "catches" as the article jokingly suggests.
