So CNN has reported on something I have mentioned all along. That it is sometimes not fatness but poor medical treatment that causes health issues. According to the report, fat women, even as little as 13 pounds over "normal":
May have a harder time getting health insurance or have to pay higher premiums
Are at higher risk of being misdiagnosed or receiving inaccurate dosages of drugs
Are less likely to find a fertility doctor who will help you get pregnant
Are less likely to have cancer...
