Response to Matt's Post "todays class about obesity"

After reading Matt's Post, I completely agree with Matt's opinion. Me Me Roth’s comments regarding American Idol finalist Jordin Sparks’ weight issue was completely uncalled for and downright wrong. The fact that America would not pick the most talented individual in a competition based on weight would be downright ridiculous. Ruben Studdard, an overweight male, won the competition in the past, and he was overweight. Roth points out that Sparks is a woman and overweight, and those two attributes will hurt her in the competition. The fact that people are judged on their weight, as Matt states, is wrong and should be discontinued in the current age. Matt also brings up the point that many athletes take steroids to enhance their bodily image. I agree with what Matt states: athletes that take steroids on their own, they digging their own grave and have become a result of the pressures of society. Maybe we, as a citizen population, should take a step back and reconsider our values.
