Whatever happened to willpower? You can shut down as many fast food chains as you like, the problem lies with those who eat too many of their products. Perhaps we have been too pussy-footed - we mustn't hurt anybody's feelings, but we can shut down burger chains and throw thousands of people out of business, just because no-one wants to say -

"You are fat. Fat is not only bad for your health, it is very ugly. You are therefore ugly. You are ugly because you eat the wrong food, and too much of it. If you don't want to be ugly, change the way you eat."

Yep - I'm sure a lot of kids (and adults) would be very hurt indeed, but it is TRUE.

Perhaps it's time to try the truth, rather than kindness and respect for some esoteric notion of "Human Rights".
Pendy if this isn't tongue in cheek it's really offensive. What is the definition of ugly? Who is going to decide. If so, although I take people as I find them, I can also be Queen bitch, and would like nothing more than to proclaim what I find ugly in people, namely prejudice.

Dawn French or Victoria Beckham? No contest about who is the nicer, more fun, and in my opinion the more attractive person.
