This type of thread seems to come up on a regular basis in GAL.
I will reiterate what I have said in previous threads: I believe people who are extremely obese to the point of disability suffer from a food addiction (most of the time). Becoming 300lbs+ is HARD and takes a lot of work for most people.
I have no problem with this piece of legislation.

x2. Is reducing activity and increasing consumption of ding-dongs hard? I’m confused unless your sarcasm flew right over my head.[/quote]
Uhhhh… Yeah it is hard when you’re ADDICTED. That is why I used that term. It’s easy to say from your end just like It’s easy for a non-smoker to tell a smoker to “simply stop smoking”
I’m not talking about overweight or severely overweight people, but the far end of the spectrum.[/quote]
Yeah, I doubt it. I went up to 310, I’m down to 270. I ate all the time, I still eat all the time, I’m addicted to food. I love food, sometimes I get mad when I have to eat shit food, some people might even say I’m a glutton. I tell them to STFU, but guess what I’m losing weight.
Even if it is “hard” addiction is not covered by the ADA, being addicted to food is something that the person does to themselves.
