PBS documentary FAT

In my class, we finished the semester watching a PBS documentary called FAT. It highlighted our nations acceptance of discrimination of obese people and how this affects the daily lives of many Americans. We constantly label obese people as lazy and unmotivated, but is this fair? Hearing the responses of many overweight Americans made me reevaluate our approach to fighting childhood obesity. Instead of labeling it with negative terms, we should provide the support that our nation needs to fight this epidemic.
