fat fatigue

Here's another article that instead of examining the rising tide of "weight-gain" books, explores a seeming obsession among TV viewers in the UK for shows featuring people with extreme morbid obesity. What does the popularity of "fatsploitation" shows say about pop culture? Will this focus on obesity help to stem the 'obesity epidemic' in the UK or is it normalizing -- leading to 'fat fatigue?' As you might imagine this article is quite interesting. And, as usual, more questions are raised than answers provided.
