If you had fucked up teeth would you want some random coming up to tell you on how you could get dental work? I'm sure you'd already have known. Just a little rude in my PERSONAL opinion. That being said it's all in context and I was not there.

hey if they were will to pay for it i'd gladly take the advice for dental care.
pretty bad analogy, seeing as it is free to not eat and health care is not free.
although i am on your side of the argument that it is rude to point out ppl are fat.

Maybe if large people weren't so self rightious about their obviously poor habits, there would be less of them. Unless something is wrong with yojr body, being fat shows toundont take the time to see what your body needs. It is a poor reflection om you and costs society. No, not in America. The poison has to kill you fast for it to be poison. In my experiance, getting healthier is pretty easy, if you are commited and research some

What, typos aside, is wrong with my statement? I talk health alot with people. Americans are closed minded morons. We dont know what to eat. On TV when people try to get healthy it is all about eating things percieved as 'light', such as non red meat and raw veggies. We dont like to excersize, which is probably the most difficult part of getting healthy. We also tend to think overexertion is a good thing. Also, the whole thermodinamics-calorie stuff sounds like a bunch of pasted together shit by someone who doesnt know physics. Some Depac Chopra shit

"Maybe if large people weren't so self rightious about their obviously poor habits, there would be less of them."
Apart from this being a self righteous statement in and of itself, you're lumping an entire type of person together to form an opinion, which doesn't address or even consider that maybe they're happy with the way they are.
" Unless something is wrong with yojr body, being fat shows toundont take the time to see what your body needs."
OR, maybe they're happy with the way they are, and don't care what they're body needs, the same way smokers, drinkers, and everyone else who likes to indulge in shit that isn't "healthy" for them, they enjoy it, and it's a personal choice.
"It is a poor reflection om you and costs society."
It's not a poor reflection, unless you forgot to put "IMO" at the start of that, and costs society? name something that people enjoy that doesn't, almost every single thing people do either does or will cost society at some point.
"In my experiance, getting healthier is pretty easy, if you are commited and research some"
I've known many people who dedicated themselves, and barely saw improvement. Apart from that, you are still speaking in a way that suggest this is what they want, unless you are implying it should be forced upon them, in which case I'd like to ask you about things you do in your life, so I can show you how it effects society or people in general, and then why you should be forced to not engage in it.

Oh no, I lumped an entire group of people together. Im practically a member the KKK now.
Yeah, people are happy being unhealthy. They are happy feeling like shit physically, emotionally since only people who are into fat people will fuck them, and knowing they are going to probably die younge. Im only going on my experiance in a rather fat towm. I dont think people are happy so much as resigned
This isnt some grey issue. You either optemise your body and figure oit how to get where you feel and look how you want, or you baloon up.
Ot isnt my opinion. When younget fat, it looks like you dont give a shit.
You talk at me like Im a liberal or libertarian who cares a whole ton about what these fools think makes them happy. Chances are, if you are fat, you have been stealing from your future by indulging in shit for years. It is also likely rooted in parental failiurs for most.
'The happiness of this pizza now, os more important then my future later'
You bring up people who dedicated themse;ves and got no results. I doubt these are the majority. We are wired to gorge, mostly, and some of us are adapted to retain far better. Eat some real food and exersize. Maybe do a, gasp, fasting day once a week
Yeah, being fat isnt 'indulging in something unhealthy', itos the effect of having indjlged. I think smokers and some drinkers are pretty damn stupid for their choices. Smoking is so fucked. Cancer is so damn horrific. Smoking now days pretty much shows you are retarded.
Everyone has their own cost-benafit analysis.

that doesn't make sense. size is far to broad and doesn't specify fat at all.
i don't think he as a problem with people being extremely tall.
although i guess most isms are like that.

Aside from a few posters, I don't think most here hate people for being fat - we hate or are sad to see that self-destructive behavior is normalized, considered okay, and that it's pretty much sprung up out of the blue in the last few decades. I think self destructive behavior of all kinds that occur on a cultural scale should be taken seriously - and the fat acceptance movement has corrupted body acceptance, which was once a wonderful thing, and use it for harmful purposes.
At a glance it's reinforcing lies and myths and making it harder for people who want to lose weight to do it because so much misinformation is spread. Not only that, but practically the only thing they say is that fat women are beautiful goddesses, and men are obligated to find them attractive, the whole 'real women have curves' is hurtful to other body types, calling someone anorexic or prepubescent is hurtful - and more importantly, it's reinforcing, especially for girls, that physical beauty is what determines your worth. Nevermind the people who constantly deny people suffer complications and ill health from obesity, and pretty much repeat over and over that they're not in control and they should give up.
It's a toxic movement. We should be teaching people that it's not okay to bully people for their appearance, and we should be teaching people the importance of self-growth and improvement, that they deserve to hold themselves to a higher standard, they are as worthy as anybody, and it is not hopeless. People don't like to confront their own flaws, most like to sweep it under a big old rug of insecurity and self-loathing, but I think we as a society need to be taught to be more objective and less emotional about our personal flaws(of all types), I admire anyone of any shape size and walk of life who takes a good hard look at themselves and works to improve what they don't like.
Addiction of all kinds are not blameless - but it doesn't discriminate against any walks of life and many fantastically wonderful people who have a lot to offer suffer from it, and people who are genetically predisposed to something like dopamine deficiency and chemical inbalances of all kinds are incredibly likely to try to self-medicate to make themselves feel better, a lot can overcome it, but when you add in environmental factors like being raised in a family that thinks it's totally normal to self-medicate with food to the point of serious and potentially lethal health issues it's easy to see why so many feel out of control. We need to take a good hard look at our society and figure out how to reduce environmental triggers, and we need to take better care of our citizens(and selves) when it comes to mental health, because along with education about nutrition, I think a good chunk of obesity can be blamed on that.
And yeah, there are conditions where it is unfair to blame someone for obesity - but they are much fewer and farther between than people think and most people are not as out of control of their body as they think. People who really can't help themselves are different than someone with a slower metabolism - We're talking unexpressed or deleted chromosomes type of conditions, like prader willi.

Yup, people shairing a common trait cant be put together anymore, even though it is a common, well understood trait that can easilly be changed with effort
The liberals think people might want to be fat and unhealthy though. Seems right to me. I enjoy the prospect of colon cancer too The common way of living in America today is toxic This free will hippie live and let live crap is unbearable. We are ignorant about health, and from many I talk to, the joy of eating shit is just to important. I respect people for trying, but I really dont see many who are willing to change their life style. Give up soda? What will I drink?
