hmmmm, well, I see your point. On the other hand, while tv doesnt directly say "be fat!" they do show incredibly fit, muscled guys and svelte girls eating big macs and whatnot like they do it every day. that said, this guy does sound like a giant blowhard who wants to say things more for fire and brimstone shock value than trying to make a statement to better society. A much better example of that is the movie "supersize me" (it really is a great movie with a message).

In the article that I was writing about the guy thought that fat people shouldn't be on television and that it was promoting being fat.
