Subject: RE: Songs that take obesity seriously
It's a difficult one. It depends on whether obese people are seen as victims or whether they are seen as responsible for their own weight gain. A combination of both perhaps? For this reason it's a tricky one when it comes to songwriting.

To a certain extent, though not in all cases, it seems to be a social class issue.
