mmmmm, I don't know - would not like overweight people to be treated as poorly as smokers are now, something has to be done i suppose but we already marginalise enough people - will over weight people be the next target for the haters?

I don't know either, it swings in roundabouts - what is acceptable and what isn't, not that long ago it was unacceptable to call someone fat, now it's in their face.

I'm not sure, I guess if it get's a few people off their backsides and out exercising it's worth it.

LOL, they're the exact same ads we have had in WA for around 2 years, the one in the article even has the WA health dept logo still on it, though the one you have linked to has Vic Health Dept logo on it.

Interesting that the man in the add would probably not be described as obese.

Educating Australians how fat affects their organs is not a bad thing. When people know better, they do better.
