A Weighty Goal

At 600 pounds, Donna Simpson of Old Bridge, NJ has set a weight goal for herself – and it's not what you may be thinking. She's not attempting to lose weight, but instead to gain even more weight. Her goal is to weigh 1,000 pounds, thus making herself the world's heaviest woman in the Guinness book of World Records.

Today we asked our contributors what they think of Simpson's goal and the message it sends, especially as First Lady Michelle Obama has declared war on childhood obesity.
