The Last Acceptable Prejudice in America

Posted: 10/11/2012 5:21 pm

"Have you ever you seen a terribly overweight person walking down the street and thought to yourself, "How could she let herself get that way? How disgusting. She has no self-control. What a glutton!"

If so, you're not alone.

Prejudice against the obese is the last "acceptable" prejudice in America. The overweight are treated differently. They're looked at differently. They're stared at, sneered at, and discriminated against."
