This unfortunately is true.  And it isn't just a person's regular doctor, it is the same with emergency room physicians as well.  They don't seem to take symptoms as seriously, and spend as little time as possible on people that are overweight.

Hilarious!  Love this commercial!  There are things to take seriously, and things not to.  There are far more offensive things on TV or in print ads than this.  If One Million Moms want to actually make a difference (and since they seem to have much time on their hands), go protest animal cruelty, volunteer at shelters...more

A simple manners question has turned into anti-child rants?  Please people, it's the parents - don't hate on the little ones.  The simple fact is, in this case, the hostess or another mother at the table should have quietly asked her to excuse herself and the baby to the restroom without making a big scene out of it.  ...more
