Well, this looks interesting! When is that show anyway? I never seem to be able to catch it on tv.

Tyra Banks Goes Undercover As Obsese Woman
Tyra Banks has gone undercover as a 350-pound woman. Banks wore the fat suit to experience what it's like to be obese.
"It seemed like the last form of open discrimination that's OK, and I decided to put on a 350-pound suit myself and live that life for a day and see what happens," the 31-year-old former supermodel told AP Radio in a recent interview. "And it was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life."
Banks said she was shocked at the reaction. "I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started pointing and laughing in my face," the talk-show host said. "And I had no idea it was that blatant."
The segment will air Monday on "The Tyra Banks Show."
Oh I so want to see that show! It looks really interesting and makes me feel bad for fat people--I can't believe someone would deliberately say mean things to a person just because they're overweight!
I know some people are to blame for making themselves obese but there are others who have thyroid problems or it's just in their genetic make-up to be overweight. Feel very sorry for them...
On a sidenote: kudos to Tyra for having interesting topics on her show!

but why did they have to give her those horrible glasses and shawl. thyey not only made her overweight, but they gave other points to make fun of her for. kinda unnesseccary (i can never spell that word)
I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats with scarves of red tied ’round their throats to keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow and I turned ’round and there you go and, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime..

Anita Roddick, the founder of The Body Shop has already done a similar experience of going undercover as obese, and others of the kind- like going undercover as an homeless woman.
It´s shocking to see how people behave in presence of others that make them feel disconfortable...

It's true now a days people are more likely to make fun of obese people but i don't think tyra really cares about them and is just using this as a stunt for ratings, it really bothers me when peoples problems are exploited for other peoples gains, obesity in the U.S. is out of control and we really need to do something about it, it's becoming an epidemic!
Tyra Banks : Undercover!
ive always wanted to dress up in one of those, although they take hours to put on....
