directors said it's unacceptable to blame the tax office for the deaths of those suffering economically. obesity is a ballooning problem and the west but so too it appears is a very description with some claiming the word obese is offensive arouse radio where whether use of a medical term is fine or fall foul of political correctness or residents went on the streets of new york to chew the fat with people and the big apple. the u.k.'s national institute for health and clinical excellence has issued a guidance suggesting that the word obese might be too upsetting and derogatory to use is this a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that last forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. been called worse you know what's worse condom when obese or calling

someone fat. the same thing. so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress it like that's just a race the toyman the pitch the better things we don't but it's bad for people it caught at least the heart trouble and a diary because for drug coverage of. this we know who is in charge of deciding when a word slaying and when and where it is the proper term will i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you know of anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey if somebody called me why do you have say the property accurate but what you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words. probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think and then the whole p.c.
