"I'm 16 and have been watching Disney Channel since, oh, forever. I always liked Disney because it provided a sort of safe haven from all the racy, obnoxious, and often inappropriate content from other networks. Recently, however, there has been an issue I've noticed regarding basic human decency. A.N.T Farm's recurrent "fat jokes" are not cool. I myself am not overweight, but some of my friends are. Angus, the computer whiz, is constantly the butt of jokes. I believe that Angus would have to be the most intelligent because he has an understanding of the binary code and complex programming. But none of that matters because, alas, Angus is fat. No amount of intelligence, wit, or orignial thought will make him popular or looked up to simply because of his size. I think kids should be taught that's a person's unique qualities and kindness are more representative of who they are than how much they weigh, and that should be treated with dignity and respect. Also, I would like Michelle Obama to get off her high horse on her "crusade against fat" and promote acceptance and healthy states of mind about food instead of kids worrying about counting calories when they're 8."
