Obese in Rio de Janeiro treated like horses

No they are not.

MSNBC is just spouting trash to inflame you.

The people are apparently receiving the best treatment available given their extreme size.

"'When people weigh more than the standard equipment can support they have to be directed to the Jockey Club, which is the only place in Rio where they have the appropriate equipment,' a spokeswoman for the Rio state health secretariat said on Wednesday."

But the feelings of some fat folk are hurt.

"Rosimere Lima da Silva, head of the Group for Salvaging Self-Esteem and Citizenship of the Obese (Graco), said many patients feel embarrassed to go there."

They should be more embarrassed for making themselves get so big.

"'The obese patients already suffer from a lot of prejudice and having to be treated where animals are is not helping their self-esteem. Many simply refuse to go,' she said."

Perhaps if Rosimere put less food down her throat and put the saved money into a fund to buy the equipment that ONLY she and her fellow fat people need, there would be no issue.

Or ask MSNBC for the money.
