i don't watch a whole lot of tv but knowing that this exists and keeps getting renewed for more seasons makes me wonder where society is headed
i remember from my one sociology class that we make special accommodations for sick people with the explicit requirement that they want to get better and will make an effort to get better - and this is generally how i view obesity, it's fine to be obese so long as you're making a concious effort to get healthier
but it seems like morbidly obese people just keep making excuses (medical conditions that defy physics) and it's considered impolite to call them out on it these days
i'd like to think shame has a healthy function in society and we ought to shame family members who let themselves go like this
