    I'm going to go ahead and assume that the humorous double entendre was intentional ("Peta have pissed off an org bigger than themselves"). Now.. 1- I am also completely opposed to PETA's tactless tactics and 2- Sympathetic to the plight of those who feel the societal pressure to be unrealistically thin. That being said... the quoted excerpt from the OAC does your argument more harm than good. "With more than 93 million Americans affected by obesity, this type of unacceptable stigmatization of obese/overweight individuals has no place in today's society." - The opening sentence seems to completely contradict itself... which really knocks the ethos down a peg, causing the credibility of the argument to plummet exponentially as it continues. Lastly.. just because they can use the word "stigmatized" 100 times in one paragraph doesn't mean they sound smart. Don't mind me.. I'm supposed to be writing an essay and will use anything as an excuse to NOT focus on the task at hand.
