Is the BBC fatist?

[cojak]

BBC News - NHS should use term fat instead of obese, says minister

[EternalOptimist]

I always thought fat was ok, obese is when it starts to cause medical problems.
So if you are fat but in perfect health, you are ok

I'm only fat because every time I pop round to **** your missus while you're out exercising you take so long I have time for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and a nightcap before heading off to the pub for a late one.

Are you sure that's his missus and not churchy?

there is quite a bit of push back from the health professionals at the moment about the way we treat 'fat or obese' people.

generally gone will be the days of 'There, there love do not worry you are just big boned'

to

'Actually you eat the wrong types of food and too much of it and do not get enough exercise - if you carry on like this you will become morbidly obese and die'

and no it is not a 'handicap'

[Scruff]

They are not fattist, enough.

[d000hg]

and no it is not a 'handicap'

Of course weighing 300kg is a handicap. If you chop off your own legs for no good reason you are handicapped.

but either way the jist of it was it will stop being treated as a disease automatcially.
