Fat Is NOT YOUR Fault

from the Denver Post

And it turns out, the extra weight isn't even my fault.

Until now, I have always assumed my clandestine visits to the local fast-food joint were just a shameful character flaw, my extra flab a source of endless personal embarrassment.

But according to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, if my sporadic indulgence of junk food becomes habitual, it can be classified as a disease, and you'll be called upon to help cure me.

This week, the Department of Health and Human Services has removed language that stated obesity was not an illness.

Yes it is your fault. Fat IS NOT AN ILLNESS...that is all.
