Our sixth news's title is "The surprising reason why being overweight isn't healthy". It is written by Ginny Graves. We found it on February 2nd. We believe that the theme is health. There is three bias: http://topics.cnn.com/topics/obesity; http://topics.cnn.com/topics/cancer; and http://topics.cnn.com/topics/infertility.

It's very shocking that being a woman who's more than 20 pounds overweight may actually get poor medical treatment. They might have a harder time getting health insurance or have to pay higher premiums, are at higher risk of being misdiagnosed or receiving inaccurate dosages or drugs, are less likely to find a fertility doctor who will help you get pregnant, and are less likely to have cancer detected early and get effective treatment for it.

Isabel Seong: I think that fat discrimination is a big issue in this society.
Diego Batres: This is important, because healthiness is not the only reason overweight people don't live long.
Tae-yeon Lim: I think that is why obesity makes people die early.
