125 limbs are amputated every week due to the condition yet it seems that being obese is becoming more acceptable and even pandered to in some cases.
Is it time that we stop encouraging obesity as a society and make being obese 'un-cool' just like we did with smoking?

I agree. Smokers, alcoholics and drug users are pilloried for their addictions, yet overeating is an addiction too. That doesn't mean to say I agree with overweight people being bullied, but neither should they be pandered to by the nanny state.
It's time ALL people with addictions were forced to take responsibility for their own actions.
