Do we demonize the obese?
From Rachel Cooke’s "Is weight the new race?":
The first person I heard make a direct comparison between fat and race was Malcolm Gladwell, author of the best-selling The Tipping Point and Blink. At an event in London, a member of the audience asked him what subjects he thought were hot. Gladwell, off the top of his head, wondered aloud whether fat wasn’t the new race.
I was alerted to this article by Google alerts. I’m a big Malcolm Gladwell fan, so I’ve asked Google to send me links, once a week, of web articles that reference him. I’m also subscribed to Gladwell’s blog and read his stuff in the New Yorker.
