You have summed up why many have dismissed the SA movement as irrelavent and have choosen not to join. To me the SA movement's stance of obesity is very negative: there is nothing you can do about being fat (or getting fatter) so just learn to live with it. Wow. How silly would this sound if we put is other medical conditions in place of obesity?

Yes it is time for a new organization. One that would not be so negative and in denial of many of the problems and medical issues of obesity.

I believe for many in the SA movement it is too scary to take a realistic look ant their weight and that it may be creating health problems.

Paul.
