Health Secretary Alan Johnson today called for an end to stigmatising the obese.
The Cabinet minister warned that 'vilifying' fat people will not make them lose weight or solve Britain's obesity 'epidemic'.

His comments come only a week after David Cameron said the overweight had only themselves to blame and they must take personal responsibility for their condition.

-If you are overweight, how does this sit with you?
-What do you think about David Cameron's statement in the quote above?
-Do you think the title "Hug a Fatty" "present[s] the message more intelligently"?
-Is obesity an epidemic? Is it evolution? Is it a consequence of our technological, industrial and scientific gains?
