        Frankly, you don’t have to be obese. A little chubby will do it, especially if you’re female.

        You beat me to it. I almost died from a pulmonary embolism because the ER doc said I "just need to lose weight".

        that's sad considering 36% of Americans are obese. Maybe Dr's say why should I care when you don't. Just saying. #FastFoodKills

        As if there wasn't enough pandering. Now you're also giving fat people dumb justifications for their dumb choices.
