Everett Said:

Are the Obese to blame for obesity?

We Answered:

No, many obese simply have a tendency to become obese and it's not their fault. Take me, for instance, I'm 45, slim, I can eat anything I want, I've always been slim, not to say skinny, and I'll always remain that way. It's genetic. Anyway, life isn't about blame, people have enough problems as it is, they don't need to be blamed just because somebody thinks taxes are too high. You go in that direction and people won't be able to eat, drink, smoke, in fact do anything anymore...

Jill Said:

Is it legal for a company to refuse employment to an obese person?

We Answered:

Assuming the person has no health problems as the reason for their obesity, there is a new theory out that obesity is caused by corn and corn products, which are found in nearly everything we eat.
There are two guys who were on GMA last week who link studies to this epidemic. They feel if corn products were removed from our food, the epidemic would lessen. I tend to agree.
I don't remember their names, but I have included the link, "Is Corn Making Us Fat"?
And yes, it is illegal to discriminate, but there is no way of proving that is the reason. All they have to say is that someone more qualified was hired.

Lonnie Said:

English Paper. Causes of Obesity?

We Answered:

Eating fast food is making more people obese and as a result more people are having health problems. This affects our society by increasing insurance premiums due to increasing health costs among the overweight.

Your sentence has many grammatical problems.

Rhonda Said:

How to fight obesity in our country? Any ideas?

We Answered:

I don't even know if this could be a federal or state problem. People have the right to be fat and eat unhealthy food. People have the right to smoke and drink alcohol even though those things are also unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I think the obesity problem is, in fact, a problem. But we can't make people lose weight and be healthy, they have to want it. And some people are perfectly happy being overweight.
