Supersize Me: It’s Time to Stop Blaming Fat People for their Size, Alison Motluk argues that we live in an “obesogenic society,” one that promotes weight gain and an increasingly unhealthy lifestyle. We do live in a society that makes it easy for people to become obese. For starters, the convenience and the relative ease it is to go to a fast food restaurant, and pick up breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also the portion size that is offered at restaurants is enormous. We live in a society where most parents do not have the luxury to stay home and prepare healthy meals.
Most people have an opinion about overweight people and often jump to conclusion about the reasons a person may be overweight. My personal beliefs about obesity and weight issues may be a bit different than most people as I have suffered with weight issues for most of my adult life. I feel strongly that people and especially healthcare workers should never judge others for any reason and especially not because of someone’s appearance. I value the human body and what it is capable of and I was brought up to believe that we should take care of our bodies and live a healthy lifestyle. Not everyone that is overweight is unhealthy and there are many factors that lead to a person gaining weight.
Francine Prose explains this in his article, “The Wages of Sin” where she states how to control their weight, what obesity is, and how others view obese people.

Eight hundred fifteen million people don’t have the food they need because they have no job, natural disaster has struck them or they live in very poor spots of the world.
