    I think yhat overweight people should organize into an association to promote understanding of weight issues and combat the types of steriotypes and attitudes exhibited by Anna ( who is typical).  The image of "perfect body type" is generated in Hollywood among those who profit financially from steriotyping human beings and by eletists with political objectives.  I read somewhere that only about 3 percent of the population has an "ectomorphic" (slim) body type. Yet this body-type is thrust upon the populace constituting the other 97 percent.  I think it is also a product of the narrow minded thinking of our society which places so much value on appearance to the exclusuin of character or substance.  I think that all of these issues are important issues that could best be addressed by overweight people and non-ectmorphs forming a non-profit legal association to concentrate an effort to address this important arwa of discrimination as it doubtlessly affect millions of people who are being singled out even by government for discriminatory treatment.
