Apologies to SafetyFox, and a thoroughly unpatronising well done.
But as for Jme, pah! Actually I do know a bit about nutrition - my sister's a nutritionist and she helped me formulate a diet to compliment the intensive exercise plan I used (which, funnily enough, was really hard work - picture falling off rowing machines, running out of the gym on legs that feel like jelly, to dry retch outside) to go from 14 stone, 17% bodyfat to 13stone 8, 4% bodyfat. She told me that in the vast majority of cases of obesity, the problem was usually just too much food. So, all in all, yeah I think that gives me some right to speak up on the matter. I only smoke occassionally, and am actually in favour of a smoking ban, as pubs in Ireland and New York are really nice! But I don't think obesity should be a taboo subject - if you can have a go at smokers then why can't you ask fat people to cut down on the pies...
