Please answer the following ten questions, based only on the pictures below.
Picture

  1. Are these people responsible?  
  2. Do they have good judgement?
  3. Do they have professional discipline?
  4. Are they qualified to serve in leadership roles?
  5. What efforts have they made to lose weight?
  6. Why weren't they successful, and what does that tell us about their character?
  7. Should they be allowed to serve as public officials without addressing the obvious questions the public might have about their weight?
  8. What can we extrapolate about their concern for society simply by looking at these pictures?  For example, can we assume from their weight that they aren't able to care well for themselves, therefore cannot be expected to care well for others?
  9. Is it fair for these people to take on roles that affect other people, knowing their weight increases their statistical probability of disease?
  10. How would you personally recommend they approach their health management, and how would you like them to inform you of their progress?

This is a great example of the kind of thing that makes me glad I listen to the radio for news. Since I can't see what people look like, I'm free of the kind of bias that would make me discount what they say because of irrelevant factors like their appearance. Instead I can judge them on substantive qualities, like their voice or accent.

But you know what Chris Christie looks like, I'm sure. And you've heard the chatter. I am amazed by the contorted defenses people who don't like him politically, but don't want to be seen as someone who "makes fun of fat people", can come up with for discussing his weight.

Very true. But nobody likes to be in the wrong. :) Self-awareness is hard, change is harder.
