What they want out of a doctor? Right. That's why when she croaks her family will sue for malpractice because the doctor didn't do enough. Trust me, I've seen it, over and over.
Actually, I'm pretty certain about the health effects. As a public health student, it's one of our focuses, second only to tobacco. These are long term health effects. Just because there are people out there healthy now and obese doesn't mean that the studies showing connections between being overweight or obese (incidentally, it's been proven using rat models, removing the yoyo dieting connection) are invalid.
