National Action Against Obesity: Jordin Sparks Too Fat

Sure - angry debates are part of building television ratings - but this one had my stomach churning.

Meme Roth - president of National Action Against Obesity speaks on Fox News (prior to the final of American Idol).

It appears Roth has confused a singing show with America's Next Top Model.

"When I look at Jordin I see diabetes, I see heart disease, I see high cholesterol. [...] That's what's so sad about this - she is not the vision of health - she is the vision of 'unhealth'".

"The second Jordin wins, she's going to drop 40 pounds - her handlers will make sure of that"

Hey - I believe in positive education about healthy eating and enjoyable fitness - but this sort of vitriol causes more harm than good. I simply fail to see how publicly judging someone can have any positive impact on the nation's health.
