There are lots of over-weight
problems in today’s world in all countries of the world. Especially in United States
of America, over-weight problems occur. Allison Motluk, writer of the article ‘Supersize
me: It is time to stop blaming fat people for their size, gives us some clues
about that problem with research results. However, she is not on the side of people
that blame fat people for their bigger size. She gives us an example of it. She
tells us about the airlines that plan to charge their passengers according to
their weights. How can it be possible to value a person according to his/her
weights? Are they meat? Are they going to be sold kilo by kilo? However, we
cannot ignore the percentage of over-sized people. As Motluk says in her
article, while it was 13 percent of Americans 10 years ago, now it is doubled
and has come to 22 percent obese people. What is the reason for that rise? Actually
we know the effects of the environment on individuals’ lives. The world is
changing very fast and we are getting less space for our daily lives. There are
a lot of cars and they need roads to go on. They are getting their space, but
we are losing ours. It can be said that ‘no space, no health and lots of
weight.’ People are becoming lazier day by day and putting weight all the time.
However, people cannot be accused of being fat, because the reason of being fat
actually is not the person. The environment is responsible for that. There are
not enough pathways for people to do sport especially walking. Besides, the
food industry has changed in time. As Motluk mentioned in her article, while a McDonalds’
ordinary menu had 59 calories in 60s, it has tripled in time and become 1550
calories. Now tell me a reason to blame a fat person for his/her appearance while
there are lots of reasons to blame environment for that problem.
