For the past six months I have been working on a photo documentary on mordbid obesity in young adults. I became interested in the issue when obesity prevention programs were initiated all over the country. The mordbidly obese, unfortunately are beyond prevention programs. Little is being done to help morbidly obese young people who are living and slowly dying with the side effects associated with obesity. One girl quit school because she no longer fit into the desks, she said, “The world doesn’t like fat people.”
