while it may be my feelings that obesity is somewhat preventable, i do not believe it is a justifiable cause for discrimination. i'm sure it is the case that once the stage of "morbidly obese" is reached, the probably isn't much that can be done. but i do believe prior to that point, one can avoid a life style that will bring about morbid obesity, if they so choose. i have extended family members who may fit into such a category, but in every case that i've been able to somewhat observe, there have been stages in their lives that when they put forth the required effort, the wieght had gone considerably down. is this condition preventable? yes, i believe so. is it cause for discrimination? no, and i have a hard time finding anything that truly is.
