Brit Proposal: Say "Fat" not "Obese"

(London, England) Closely following the announcement that the British National Health Service (NHS) will be decentralizing in order to cut costs, the Minister of Public Health, Ms. Anne Milton, has suggested that obese people now officially be called "fat people."
Anne Milton told the BBC the term fat was more likely to motivate them into losing weight.

She said it was important people should take "personal responsibility" for their lifestyles.

But health experts said the word could stigmatise those who are overweight.
In any event, it's a token shot at politically correct terminology which rightfully should be attacked full force.
