Keeping The Right Perspective On Fitness
This cartoon by Randy Glasbergen is a funny, yet dead-on assessment of the state of health and fitness in America today. Don't you wish doctors had the intestinal fortitude to actually say something like this to their overweight and obese patients? I bet this doctor (remember him?!) would do it! ENJOY!
OUCH! The truth hurts, doesn't it? But it's good for you!

THANKS for writing, Jeff. Actually, the posts are two entirely different themes.
The link that you provided was about PEOPLE being too blunt with the overweight and obese about their weight problem. This cartoon and post is about DOCTORS doing so.
It is my contention that medical professionals have a responsibility to be blunt and forthright about obesity because they get paid to keep us healthy.
I appreciate the feedback as always!
Doctors should be more blunt; if their patients don't like it they can find another doctor who will tell them what they want to hear. No doctor ever confronted me about my weight.
