2. Aretha Franklin May Be Overweight, But A Big Percentage Of The United States is Obese.Many Obese People Eat Healthier Than Non-Obese People, But Some Don't Eat "The Best Food". I Don't Think That There Is Anything Wrong With Aretha Getting Food From McDonald's. Then Saying That You Don't Know If She Super Sized it Is Just Plain Discrimination. Aretha is Very Talented And Doesn't Deserve To Be Mocked By Anybody For getting McDonald's Fast Food. Everybody Gets McDonald's At Least Once,And Aretha Is No Different.

Sincerely,
Haley

3. Not only that, who are we to judge what people eat? I have a weight problem. Oddly enough it has less to do with what I eat as to how much. What? You say? how much, of course! No, really. I eat so little my body slows down my metabolism to keep up. So eating actually INCREASES my metabolism, but I don't feel like eating so much. How do you know Ms. Franklin doesn't have the same problem? And on top of it - how do you know for sure the food was for her? After all, the driver has to eat too!

Some people (Make that reporters) are just RUDE.

5. Ok here is for the tool that thinks obese people eat healthier than people that are not obese.....ITS UNHEALTHY TO BE OBESE YOU TOOL! That must mean that your doing something unhealthy and I'm sure it is eating. Eating huge portions is not health and eating high calorie fatty foods is not healthy. MD's is both of those things and is bad for you, by saying its ok you are making excuses for people to be obese. MD's is not ok to eat and should be closed down. Obesity is a growing issue in our country and it has to be recognized as such. Obesity happens to people that are lazy and make poor choices with there diet, it is not a gland problem and there is no excuse for being overweight. Every heavy person claims that they have a gland problem and it is a sickening excuse for a weight problem. If you don't want to deal with being overweight at least admit that your lazy and eat like hell, don't give me the you do all the right things line and your magically fat. To gain weight you have to take in more calories than you are using and that is exactly what your doing, being a glutton.

6. I think people are too damn idle...who cares what the woman eats its her life and she is entitled to live it.
People should focus on making their own lives more meaningful and productive and learn to mind their own business.
People act as though these stars are gods, they are regular people who make a lot of money off of regular people like myself.
We bust our behinds to make ends meet yet people go crazy and waste time and money over these millionaires...be real people, get a life. Do you think Aretha really cares about what you think? She has more money than most of you can imagine, your opinion on her diet is like a fart in the wind...unpleasant but only for a few seconds and then no one cares!!
Have a wonderful day ;)

7. Personally, I'd rather be fat than be too skinny, and this is coming from a proud 6'0'', 150 pound woman. So what if she wanted some McDonalds? I don't understand why it's such a big scoop, I mean, I hate McDonalds and every now and then I get a weird craving for a double cheese burger. Girls are throwing up in bathrooms and refusing to eat and obesity is a problem? I like a little something to squeeze, if you know what I'm saying. Reporters are rude and uncalled for, they should be focusing on something more important than a McDonalds run. It just bothers me how shallow people can be.

8. For the IDIOT that said all obese people are lazy.....YOU ARE AN IDIOT! You have no idea what some people may or may not be going through. MANY obese people I know are NOT lazy what so ever AND they exercise MORE than the thin people I know. Stick to what you know and stop showing your IGNORANCE off. MORON!

9. In reply to comment number 5: There are medical reasons for being obese, although admittedly people who don't have any real medical problems are claiming to be magically overweight. How do you know that the person that commented above was lying? You have no way of proving that and it's beyond rude to point fingers and call him/her a liar. People who are overweight have a problem that only they can overcome, but some of the "healthiest" people I know are twig girls who have a piece of lettuce for dinner and vomit for dessert. Instead of focusing our attention on 60 year old fat famous people who like McDonalds, we should be focusing on who we can actually help - today's youth. I think America is trying it's hardest to make healthy foods more available to the children of our country and that's all we can really ask for. Once you're overweight it's hard to get rid of it, we should be focusing on how to prevent the problem from even occurring.

10. And we care if she eats at McDonald's because...... Last I checked it wasn't a crime to eat where ever a person wanted to in America regardless of the size of the person. Why does the media think this is information that will somehow affect, or enrich our lives in any way? So, the poor lady is overwieght... does that mean she has to starve? and anyway... did anyone actually see who ate the food? and, one more thing... HOW IS THIS NEWS??? Most people in the US eat every single day at least once if not three times!

12. Jason,

Did you realize that many OBESE people are far healthier than those of normal, a little bit below normal, and even anorexic weight? My husband is a cancer surgeon and sees all kinds of people. Don't stereotype when you don't know what you talk about. And it's ignorant to say people are heavy because they are LAZY. And yes, there are a MYRIAD medical problems for overweight, but I doubt you have the inclination, motivation and intelligence to research them at the National Institutes of Health Website. Am I overweight? I am 5'5" and weigh 120, swim, show horses, work every day, and no. Is my husband? At 6'5", and 170, I hardly think so. Are you underweight? Probably--it seems where your brain should be, there is only helium and hot air.

13. Oh, and just for your information, my husband is too thin because of HYPER thyroidism. That's a medical condition, in case you didn't know Jason, where the thyroid malfunctions and metabolism is super-sonic. The reverse of that is HYPO-thyroidism where metabolism is of tortoise speed or less. Your education has begun.

14. Taran....

God bless you for being smarter than that dirtbag Jason. He is probably some pimple faced loser who has been teased his whole life and maybe even a little fat too. People who talk about others that way make me sick. It is so rude and I find it to be offensive in every way. America needs more education and more health laws against how much fat "fast food" can contain. The government makes all these other ridiculous laws so why not add another one that will actually do some good!

Aretha is an American Icon....don't hate on someone who has made something of herself while being obese pretty much her entire life. I am wondering if this attitude you have is because you are financially STARVING.....and you are just jealous. Jason...oh what a lifetime of learning you have ahead.

15. who the hell cares if Aretha got a Mac craving? Who cares if she's overweight? It's not your life!!

And Jason obviously has a gland problem...his a$$ gland is overproductive. I wonder if diet can fix that?
