There are Crackpots behind every door …

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of “crackpot” than the stigma of conformity. Â And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost. Â -Â Thomas J. Watson
The officials at the Liverpool City Council are planning to ban the word obese for children.
It has been seen that the highest childhood obesity rate is found in Britain. In Liverpool, approximately half of 11 year old boys and 40 percent of 11 year old girls are overweight.
The plans to ban the word obese  for the age group of 9-11 were stimulated by the suggestions made by the School Parliament.
OK, I’ll label these guys are “crackpots.”
Just because you ban the word doesn’t make the kids any less fat.

Perhaps some of these can be used to replace the “offensive” obese: Rotund, Bulky, Bulbous, Portly, Chunky, and the ever popular Fat Little Kid. Geez!
