Hooray For Commenters

There's an interesting discussion going on in the comments here that has nothing to do with George Clooney, but is about people deciding not to have children because they might pass on the obesity gene.

And over at The Fatslayer Chronicles, they're talking about a similar issue in the comments:

"There was an article in Newsweek magazine a number of years ago where they polled parents: which diseases their potential child might have would cause them to terminate a pregnancy. Obesity beat out all kinds of diseases including life-long management diseases like diabetes."

And the post itself is heartbreakingly depressing. "'So it’s OK to be nasty to people if they’re fat?'... 'Yes, silly, because if they’re fat and smelly it’s their own fault.'"
