Reply #57: Because he is addressing ONE SINGLE TOPIC

[Tansy_Gold]

not the entire issue of ALL THE CAUSES of global warming, ALL THE CAUSES of obesity, ALL THE EFFECTS of obesity. This is a single article, not a fucking text book. I'm quite sure that given unlimited time and print space, he could address all those issues and more, including the landed aristocracy's use of private airplanes, overconsumption of champagne and the cost in mega-Joules to import it, etc., etc., etc., but it's one fuckin' little article, ¿comprendes? and it addresses one little issue.

As the poster above mentioned, Porritt didn't write the headline. Indeed, he didn't write the article. A FEW OF HIS WORDS are used to make the point of the article, ALL CHOSEN BY THE WRITER OF THE ARTICLE.

It probably should be pointed out, too, that obesity affects the middle class as well as the working class, and NO ONE, not even the nitwitted writer of this article -- who, again, is NOT Jonathan Porritt -- suggested that obese people, poor or otherwise, should be exterminated, forced to be thin, or sterilized before they breed. That kinda knocks the wind outta your genocide sails, don't it.



Tansy Gold, thinkin' there's a whole lotta stupid goin' around tonight
