> I didn't read the article until you mentioned that he said this, so I went and looked... Wow, that is interesting that he came right out and said he is too disgusted by overweight people to be able to hold them. Nice.
It's especially despicable based on his therapy approach-as if overweight people are somehow less valuable than others. A therapist should be able to transcend outward appearances and respect people for who they are, a human spirit who is wounded and in need of help.
I guess overweight people really are the last permissible prejudice-imagine if he had used "Chinese people" or "handicapped people"? Totally unacceptable!
