As a society, we seem to turn on(攻击) the obese(肥胖).

　　One summer holiday, while I studied medicine in the college, I got a job clearing the garden of a retired(退休) ballet dancer to make some pocket money. When it rained, he invited me in and showed me some photos from his career at the Royal Ballet.

　　What surprised me was the change that happened to him. He was fit and flexible in the photos. Yet, the man sitting in front of me, although still relatively young, could not walk without a stick. His legs often ached after he retired. He became fatter and fatter. This, he said, is the cost of ballet. It’s really not his fault(过错) to have become fat.

　　Yet the person who surprised people last week was not a dancer but a comedienne(女喜剧演员). Dawn French was seen leaving Matthew Swan Lake at Sadler’s Wells using a stick. Her assistant later explained that his was because she got injured while getting out of a taxi but this didn’t stop the rumor(谣言) that it might be because of her size.

　　Poor Dawn, who as far as I know, has never tried to pass on any dieting tips to anyone, is suddenly the focus of attention and being blamed for becoming “a role model for obese”. A role model? Why? Just because she’s famous and she’s fat?

　　Maybe as a doctor I am expected to be supporting the anti-fat group, but I strongly believe that the job of doctors isn’t to stand in judgment over people’s lives, but to provide them with information that can help them make a choice. If people want to be overweight, it’s up to them. What’s more, some people become fat not because of what they eat, like the ballet dancer. We should not look down upon the obese. Instead, we should respect them as much as we respect those who have normal weight.
