Creating a new thread so as not to hijack the Raven Symone thread:

A friend of mine and I were having this discussion on Friday night. With restaurant portions getting bigger and bigger, obesity is a big problem in America and can lead to heart disease and death. If you have a friend that smokes, it is considered socially responsible and acceptable to tell that person to quit, yet if you have a friend who's obese (not overweight but obese), if you tell that person that (s)he needs to lose some weight for medical reasons, then you are being insulting and a bad friend. Do you think this will change? If you were obese, would you want your friends to tell you to do something about it? Discuss.
