I disagree with this sign. I'm sure 68% of us are overweight, but I doubt only 20% think they are. If anything, I'm sure more people who are not overweight think they are than overweight people think they aren't. And as for Chubb, this sign is not picking on fat people. It's stating (purported) facts about how many people are overweight and encouraging people to work out. Being overweight is NOT HEALTHY. Forget about appearances. I'm overweight and while I would be offended to be mocked for it, I'm not going to act like it's a good thing to be. And when I was 50 pounds heavier, I understood that just the same.
