and the announcer was debating this issue. He said that as far as he was concerned obesity was not a disability say like being a quad. Why, because we open our fridge and cause our own problems unlike people who end up in wheelchairs.
I was so ticked off. I was a nurse and worked in ER and let me tell you, many, many quad put themselves in that chair driving like idiots or doing dangerous stunts. We would never fail to provide them with healthcare or other needs such as ramps. Should each person of disability justify his or her injury or illness?
Maybe we should stop helping them!? I think not, and there would be pubic out cry if we did.
