Doctor in trouble for calling woman obese.

The story doesn't say exactly how he phrased what he said to her. I gotta think there is more to the story here.

It makes me think of that term Berke Breathed coined: "Offensensitivity."

"Dieting" doesn't work, but changing one's diet and lifestyle permanently to a healthy one often does. If nothing else, it at least improves one's health, if not changing one's weight.

Sure. If that doctor had recommended the Health at Any Size program instead of Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, I'd be having a different response.
