Feedback

Dr. Phil continues the heated debate about weight and explores current attitudes toward the obese.

Living Large
Sally and Maryanne don’t believe obesity is a disease of choice and they don’t consider it change-worthy. Instead, they tell Dr. Phil that they “want society to change to accommodate fat people.”
