DIAF Fox News

Here is an interesting short article by Neil Cavuto of Fox News complaining that fat people cause a bad negative first impression. And then keep it. To Neil, being fat/obese is evidently not a lifestyle choice but the same equivalant as being black, Jewish or any other ethnic form.

WTF? How is something that you are born as due to parental genes the same as stuffing your face everyday with french fries and lard burgers? Yes, I know some people have biological reasons for being able to gain weight more easily than others or lose it slower, but there is no excuse for saying that ethnicity and obesity are on the same par. My pale skin and red hair come from my parents, just as being female. It does not constitute why I do not weigh 300 pounds. It does not explain how my sister had a perfect body in high school and now weighs a bit more. Her choice to eat a lot and not work out created that issue.

Fox News, please try to put some, any, effort into hiring your commentators. You never cease to explain why we mock your media outlet as a farce.
