Don't hate the (dieting!) fatties

Thanks to Red No. 3 who pointed out this article about a man who thinks he's a former fat-hater, but has "changed his ways". Problem is, only so far as to say that the world should pity the fat dieters because they have such a hard time losing weight: Article

I think this is a good opportunity to spread some info, since the guy obviously has an open enough mind to get this far. I'll bet with a little gentle excism of ignorant assumptions instead of insults, we could bring him around and have another Size-positive reporter/columnist on our side.

I've sent the first comment to that end, anyone else want to chime in?
