What is your first reaction when you see someone with obesity problem? Do you boycott them? Do you criticise them for their size? Do you have negative feelings against them? Do you become biased against them? Do you talk back about them just because they are bigger size than us or they do not look nice or good? If your answers are mostly YES, let me tell you, you are not a fair person and you are actually worse than them! Not base looks or size, but by your character and personality. How you treat a person will reflects on your character.
Hence, with reference with the article on www.divaasia.com/article/11470, I feel that we should not look down on them. Instead we should help them bring up their self-esteem, and the way they did about the B.A.B (Big And Beautiful) thing, I think that it was not a bad idea after all. As seen from the comments, many say that fat shows that they are unhealthy, lazy or smelly or gross. But what evidence can you find to show that fat people are smelly or lazy? Can you answer? You can't! Because that was just your assumption! You are simply prejudiced!!
This topic is a little sensitive, however, I feel that the B.A.B thing is good as it help to build self-esteem for those facing obesity. It helps to send a message that being obese is not the end of the world. As long as they are willing to overcome it and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle, we all believe that their life will be like everyone else. And to me, I think that not everyone who is bigger in size have lots of fat, sometimes it is just that their bones are bigger in size. Thus, to conclude, I feel that all of us have to accept them in socialty and be fair towards them. They are just like us, don't you agree? They are humans and have human rights. JUST LIKE US :)
