Geez, can we stay in perspective here...it's two photographs
of some obese people...they are not in uncompromising
positions/situations here...if a viewer has issues with why they 
are fat, so what??  You don't shoot the messenger!!

Adam, maybe you should publish a list of issues and/or
subjects that "trip your trigger" so we'll know what we can or 
cannot post!  :-(    Get over it!

I'm sorry, Adam.  I've removed the photos.  I said in my original 
post that they would be coming down soon.  I just wanted to start a 
discussion. I can tell by your tone that I'll never convince you that 
I was truly depressed by what I saw at Disney World.  Obesity is an 
epidemic and I was hoping to get some insight into why it is 
affecting only North Americans.  I guess the best answer is that 
there is an excess of everything here, including food.  You are wrong 
when you assume that I am making a judgment and holding myself above 
them.  I have as many faults as anyone.  I hope that you'll also 
refrain from making a snap judgment about me and my intentions.

Tina
