FATNESS VS FITNESS

Written by on April 29, 2008 in Panchaat with 1 Comment

Oprah’s nemesis!!! The world is obsessed with this. It amazes me at how socially unacceptable fatness has become. What worries me more is that a person can be stick thin twiggy,lethargic and anorexic and this is totally accepted. Both are two extremes. The focus is totally lost. People are obsessed about weight instead of health. […]
