Ephesians 2:14-15

As wrong as it was, Rachel had to admit that being thin helped her fit in. She really wasn't a different person now that she was thin, but people sure treated her that way. It was unbelievable that people were so biased against those who were fat. Rachel sighed a prayer of thankfulness to God that He had helped her lose weight. It was hard, being on the outside.

If God could help Rachel lose weight, perhaps He could change the bigotry of some concern-ing obesity.
