Global Warming

... fat people cause global warming ... I am working on a paper about how the media frames certain issues. I am using this article to show that journalists are starting to feel comfortable and the public is finally starting to admit that yes, there are too many overweight people and yes, they are causing major problems -- financial and societal. It seems that no one wants to talk about it: afraid we will offend those who refuse to change their behavior for the sake of society and future of the human race.

The point of my paper is that we used to accept smokers who blew smoke in our faces and (may have) contributed to cancer for non-smokers with their carcinogenic second-hand smoke. No one wanted to offend the smokers or take their "right" away to smoke. Now, we openly say screw that: if you are dumb enough to smoke, go do it outside in 30-degree whether and show us how really stupid you are. And slowly, slowly, we are coming to feel that we can in fact state the facts about overeating and lack of physical activity. A backlash is on the horizon.
