That just makes them withdraw and eat more, considering how long that attitude towards obesity has been around I think that it's pretty well proven that that won't work.
While I will admit that I am fat, I am not morbidly obese and I actually put in a good effort to live a healthy life-style. Not that you care: afterall, your feelings against me are based on generalizations and willful misconceptions.
