OK, I don't know exactly what Howard Stern said about 'Precious' star Gabourey Sidibe initially (I'm sure it was a bit over the top) - but I do agree with the points he made in his defense about the "attack" on the actress' size. 

We can all see she is very big - and although I'm all about embracing curves and believe size shouldn't matter - I strongly believe health should matter.  Without our health, we have nothing.  

This is not going against Gabourey in any means, but as a concern for her health (just like we do when we realize actors or actresses have drug/alcohol related problems).  And it's true, obesity is a serious issue among our nation today! 

Did you know:

"To date more than 12.5 million children and adolescents - 17.1 percent of people ages 2 to 19 years - are overweight."

"As they grow older, overweight, children and adolescents are more likely to have risk factors associated with cariovascular disease such as high blodd pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes," said Surgeon General Steven K. Galson, M.D., M.P.H., director of The Childhood Overweight and Obesity Prevention Initiative.  

We should continue to celebrate curves, but in a healthy way -- and this does not mean we should talk bad about obese people, but offer them the support they need and make them realize that if nothing is done, their health - their LIFE is in jeopardy.
