The New York Times #5

  Gabrielle Deydier is an author of a book titled “On Ne Naît Pas Grosse” (“One Is Not Born Fat”) which shows the reality of life of overweight people in France.  A writer used her own expirience as well as scientific studies to talk about it. “To be fat in France is to be a loser,” Ms. Deydier said. No one really expected that the book will be such a success. Readers present different reactions , some of them are ready to help obese people not to feel judged, some of them says that Gabrielle Deydier is simply normalizing obesity. France doesn't take part in actions which are supposed to let overweight people lead normal lifes ( for example by producing more plus size clothing) so the book is kind of a shocker. The author of “On Ne Naît Pas Grosse” points out that overweight people find problems with finding a job just because of the way they look.
