should fat people be shamed into losing weight?

That’s what Ricky Gervais wants! FYI, he’s a comedian and star of the much funnier British version of “The Office.” He says there’s not enough stigma involved in being overweight, so people (including himself) aren’t motivated to change. He says people should be greeting their hefty compatriots with shouts of “fatty.” LOL! Here’s what Ricky shared to his podcast listeners,
“I don’t think there’s enough stigma. With all the political correctness now, and the fact that food is so refined, there’s no stigma any more. I laugh about being fat but I should be ashamed. I should walk down the street and have people shouting ‘Fatty’. That’s what I want, to get me out of it.”
Ricky Gervais also got some ideas about grocery store layouts, saying all the unhealthy foods should be “behind a thin door” or require crawling through a tube to get to them. He also notes that he has to buy new clothes every three months because he gets too fat for his old ones. YIKES! Now that’s definitely not healthy!
