This is good, it has all the information needed. I like that it has tabs to different parts of the problem, the links to other pages and the "real stories" to give fat people hope. The BMI calculator is also good, it allows people to see whether or not they have a problem.

This seems to be more focussed on helping people lose weight. The opportunity to ask a doctor about it is good, and the forums mean people don't feel alone and they know others are in the same situation. The support groups are good as well.

Not that great, it's more about raising awareness than actually doing anything in particular. The only good thing is that there are links to talk to medical professionals. Not good to base anything upon, they seem more about being a commercial group rather than trying to help anyone.

Not much in the way of information or solutions, just seems to explain what obesity is. However, there are some good links on the page.
We should use: Links to other websites, option to contact a professional, advice on things like pills/supplements, suggested ways to lose weight (e.g. specific sports, healthy foods, how to stop oneself from snacking), pictures of fat people exercising however grim it may look.
