Steve,That was my point. It's a problem that we need to address – and maybe with some extreme measures to get our point across.

Sean, did you see that other story in the news a few weeks back about a family, I think it was in Pennsylvania, sued a local school disctrict because they only had phys-ed twice a week, and their diabetic kid needed more regular exercise to help manage his blood sugars. I felt that ALL of the kids need activity every day-little kids, particularly boys, really need that gross motor movement for physical and mental health.I agree that maybe this should be a requirement for all kids at this college, particularly given how out of shape younger people are nowadays.

[...] I only recap this because I sparked yet another discussion with my opinions that I felt deserved on my blog recently with "Too Fat To Graduate?". [...]

Sean think of it. Would you want to be fat if you had a choice? I know Iwould not want to be. I think it might be a mental illness. I must remindyou that I am a thin girl but that is not of my doing. I have a greatmetabolism but when I was a young girl I was chubby and could do nothingabout it. So I am the fortunate few who are thin. So are you. Fortuatelywhen I grew older I got thinner and better looking.but one of my cousinsstill struggles with her weight. Sean what if they were discriminatingagainst you? It is just not OK. If you and I decide to work out and eatwell, well good for us. We cannot force others to do what we think is best.Don't you see? That is what makes America free. We are free to choose! Andthat is what is important.

I have a hard time feeling bad about an action that does nothing but improve someone's health and well being – regardless if it's borderline discriminatory. IMHO

I think that sucks. I am fortunately a thin person. Do you really think this is going to help cause I don't. I think fat folks have a real problem that sucking it up is not going to help. I think fat folks already feel bad enough without stigmatizing them. If someone chooses to exercise and eat right that is great, but forcing someone is really not nice at all. I don't think it will help. And I don't actually think it is legal.

I think the Spartans had the right idea.
