I buy into what people say about obesity just being a symptom. A symptom of all that's gone wrong inside their head emotionally and intellectually. They've become disconnected from their bodies. The high they could have from being in shape and strong is so far away compared to the high of more high fructose corn syrup. It's a shame and also sad. Seeing a fat girl, especially, who could be a knockout is like seeing a lion in the zoo. It's just not right.

Actually I think it's kind of helpful if you're a guy. A woman's fatness is a direct display of her character.

Super Skinny -- probably a crazy ball buster and maybe druggie
Slender but shapely -- a strong woman but not crazy
Plump but happy -- probably a bit submissive and weak, but might be a good mate
Fat -- weak character, angry
Really fat -- really weak character, serious emotional problems

There is a lot of money in the fat industry. Gaining the fat, than selling stuff to lose that fat.

Fast food and keeping people fat serves as a good population control. Both in birthrate and in controlling the masses.

America can't afford for everyone to live to be 90+. How could you subsidize that realistically?

I just got back from the grocery store and spent an extra 10 minutes optimizing food choices. Most of those were made on the inner perimeter of the store. The couple in front of me was morbidly obese and had 6-8 packs of mini doughnuts and nothing else. Not even joking. My buggy contained:

Cabot low fat greek yogurt (plain)
Natural granola
Low fat milk
Kielbasa
Skinless chicken thighs
Turkey necks
Turkey gizzards and hearts
Chuck roast
2 blocks sharp chedder
1 head cabbage
Real butter
Kefir (plain)
Liver mush
whole wheat bread
8 oz cream cheese (for alfredo sauce)...sue me.


I weigh ~183. People are fat cause they wanna be. No excuses.

if fat people ate at Indian buffets, they'd still be skinny. I go home full and wake up the next morning on empty.

The question we should be asking rhetorically and out loud is 'Yes, but WHY am I so damned healthy and not fat?'

Lifestyle Spotlighting > Fat Shaming



Worth watching, even though it is from mainstream media.

Lack of exercise. Too much TV.

It's not as much an eating problem as it is a sedentary lifestyle.

I eat like a lion most of the time and I maintain my weight because I'm really active, and not just in the gym. If I wasn't as active with my eating habits I'd easily be a fatass.

[Agent 47]

Ughhh... All the fat shaming in here...

You guys obviously don't know what its like to be big and beautiful. SO JELLY.

Like... the only reason fat people are fat is because they have thyroid conditions.. DUHHH!!

How could you guys be so insensitive to fat people?!?!? They are people too!!

Excuse me while i finish this jelly pizza donut....

I've heard it stated here that people are eating less but while that is true they are eating way more carbs. our bodies have evolved for 100,000's of years on things like meat, berries and seasonal fruit. we have only been harvesting grain as a species for about 10,000. we have been consumuming things like pastries and ckaes for 1000 of so years. our bodies aren't designed to handel that kind of stuff much less vegitable glyceran, propaline glycol, yellow dye #7, what ever that benzo something preservative is that is in everything we eat. then these fatties are shoveling it down their throghts as fast as they can 24/7 and leading a sedentary life style. I'm suprised people aren't bigger.

[tiggaling]

Processed food in the U.S. is known to be full of noxious substances like High Fructose Corn Syrup. That stuff will cause people to get fat very easily.

Plus the meat in the U.S. is chock full of all kind of growth hormones... it just goes on and on.

Ali that's a cool list but why are you getting low fat milk and yogurt?

Whole milk tastes much better and is better for you...

Reminded me of this:

Has Japan found the fountain of youth?

Quote:

In Sakaemura, a village of 2,500 people hidden among the mountains of Nagano prefecture, north-west of Tokyo, almost half of the inhabitants (1,061 people), are over 65.
The men of Nagano prefecture live longer than those elsewhere in Japan. In 2000, according to the health ministry, they could expect to live until they were almost 79, while the women, with an average life expectancy of 85, ranked third nationally.
Similarly impressive statistics have been recorded across Japan, where life expectancy has increased dramatically during the past 80 years. In 1935, life expectancy was about 45. By 1950, that figure had risen to 60. Today it stands at 85 for women and 78 for men.
Japanese women live, on average, over five years longer than those in the US. Japanese men typically have more than four years on those in the US. The number of centenarians in Japan has doubled in the past five years and now stands at just over 20,000.

I would guess more fatties are fat from not doing enough moving (exercise, walking, sex, dancing, whatever)....than from eating too much.

Widely viewed that "average" people eat far less now than even 50 years ago............it is a lack of movement

Nah, light exercise will hardly ever compensate for a hefty surplus of calories.

A 200-pounder stomping about at a consistent 3mph for 3 hours will burn about 1200 calories. That's a single large Big Mac meal.

Cutting out 1200 calories from a 3600 calorie diet is easier than exercising that much every single day.

Ali....I can't watch video cuz my internet is shitty.

Is this the video that touches upon the fact that these Greek people spend significant portions of their lives in various 12-24 religious fasts?

I think people are fat because they're stupid. They've been taught from birth that junk food and lack of exercise is bad for them, but they rationalise away that, somehow, they're the exception.

I see it all the time at the supermarket. My local one has packages of meal-replacement shakes at the checkout. Women *always* put a few in their trolley, to mentally pat themselves on the back for being 'good' because they've got a trolley full of Tim Tams, Chocolate Ice Cream and Sweets. They think skipping *one* meal will make up for a snacking caloric-intake equal to ten meals, then complain about 'genetics' and the expectations of the male gaze.

I've met very few women who don't have this obsessive and unhealthy denial - reward attitude to food, and very few men who do, even though women don't sexually-reward fat men either.

My other rule of thumb: the moment one girl gives into to weakness, her social circle will fold as well.

In August of this past summer, I removed all sugary drinks from my diet. I had another root canal coming up and had finally had enough of washing my mouth with tooth killing soda on a regular basis (I was a huge Mountain Dew fan).

It's actually funny. Once I made up my mind, I didn't deal with any cravings or anything.

I'm drinking a lot of beer instead. Lots of calories, but none of the sugar or acidity that you get from soda.

One of the best choices I've ever made.

I never got fat because I have a fast metabolism, so I've kept my weight up by eating more carbs and protein sources instead.

In the US at least, I've always thought it may have something to do with school lunches.
