"ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Walt Disney World is retooling an Epcot exhibit on childhood obesity after critics complained it was insensitive to obese kids and reinforced stereotypes."
Come on people, grow some thicker skin.
So now, it's bad to tell people that they are overweight.

If they had thicker skin they would just look even fatter.

"Critics said the exhibit reinforces stereotypes that obese children are lazy and have poor eating habits."
Too bad the fact that so many obese children are lazy and have poor eating habits still reinforces the stereotype. If only there was something that could be done about that...

The Disney franchise is incredibly controlling and fascist. They have an 'obedient Stepford Wives' vision for America.

WTF would a theme park be talking about fat kids anyway? Pretty sure I wouldn't want my kids getting lifestyle advice from some guy who chooses to make his living wearing tights and a wig while dancing with other guys who wear anthropomorphic cartoon character costumes.

Some site posted:
"We're appalled to learn that Disney, a traditional hallmark of childhood happiness and joy, has fallen under the shadow of negativity and discrimination," the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance said in a statement.
"I was really disturbed to see the most negative habits were attached to really fat bodies," Peggy Howell, a spokeswoman for the group, said after viewing a companion website. "These pictures further the stigma against people of higher body weight."
I would believe this came from The Onion if you told me it did.

I'm not sure why blaming the children accomplishes anything productive. In most cases its the parents who are responsible.
