"Fatties R Us: Washington obesity rate nearly doubles."
While "fatties" is certainly a word that many fat activists use in a reclaimative or ironic way, that is quite evidently not the way the word is being used here.
The story also contains the charming line: "Washington also out-fatted nearby states."
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes.
