what a breathtaking side there to other stories now of a city as a ballooning problem in the west but so too it appears is the very description with some claiming the word obese is offensive arouse raging over whether use of a medical term was fine or for false foul of political correctness our resident went on the streets of new york to chew the fat with people in 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 pounds is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or
4:25 am
calling someone fat. the same thing over. the sofa so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress up like that's just a vase a toy or. just better things we don't but it's bad for people it caught at least the heart trouble and i die read cover to cover. this week who is in charge of deciding what to wear displaying 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 have 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 so the property accurate but siri but you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words the 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
4:26 am
then the whole p.c. thing all go away it's not like you should stop caring what other people think you should start caring more about what you think i think it's matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese that's in that context i think it's derogatory i think this a the word obese or say obesity in general when you're talking about a condition is would not be derogatory just a statement of of a problem in a society maybe if we. ever heard this word to people to feel out ok maybe a little bigger than the usual regular people so there's no problem and what if you want think about what to take exactly like what are we afraid to college drug user or a drug user exactly here this isn't big so why where we should escape from the promotion tried the problem the night that the escape for a bit whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go
