yep. when i worked at BK in high school i always had people that said "ill have the number one with cheese, add bacon, king size, and a hersey sunday pie" (notice the rush to the sunday pie) and then i would ask "what would you like to drink with that?" and the would answer "a diet coke"...i just wanted to offer a milkshake since they were already on a roll.

The more redneck you are, the more likely you are to be obese?

i think stupid or ignorant would be a more likely term. although some obese people dont have much of an option. i have a good friend who is obese because of a brain tumor that she had. although i think a vast majority of the obese population could do something if they fucking tried.

"heck we're all going to hell, i might as well not care about my body."
seeing that the concentration is found in what is known as the "bible belt" of america, it appears to me that this could be a kind of mentality that is running amok here.

Yeah but the thing is people just don't try...most people don't do anything until they HAVE to...like once they get diabeties..and I'm trying to avoid that
Some people have been fat their whole lives though and just don't see the need in changing

I'm a fat ass..
That's who i am. I see most people on this board think fat people are repulsive. It's whatever, I've never done anything to anyone to deserve some of the treatment that comes my way on the streets..
But I'm well respected by my peers and thats all that matters.

I've never been fat and I don't understand the hatred for fat people but I wouldn't let myself get fat because I highly value my health. A state with over 30% obese people to me is mind boggling.

exactly! see you care enough about yourself to make sure that shit doesnt happen to you. but it seems like a lot of these fatties could give two fucks if they have a heart attack.

I think most people think fat people are sloppy which is far from the truth. Down here the big girls just say they're "thick" and pretty much everyone wants their boys to be big so they can play football. I was teased because I was this big guy and I was in the band playing trumpet. That's unheard of in the south but being big is really common thing.
Plus pretty much everything cooked down here is fried...double fried...extra sugar...etc It's just normal until you leave but unlike me alot of folks just stay here their whole lives

that's where i raise the flag. it's a social dilemma, because i doubt that the individuals in question are even thinking about this at all. they're in group-think, automating on cultural programming in their environment.
this is where governments come in handy: to intervene in matters where individual powers are suppressed by group mentality, to provide a mainstream for health, to encourage the communities, and help educate people to take charge of their lives again.
IMO!

I differentiate overweight people into two groups, those who are fat because they have no respect for themselves and the rest.
If you're overweight and a cool guy, I really don't care. The other type of person, I think you know which I'm talking about.

Contemplation on my fatness...For 3 1/2 years I was a full time martial artist, I started at 298lbs, cut down to a slim 231. But then I had a blood clot in the back of my brain. I had to rediscover everything in my life, and of course, I slowly started gaining the weight back. It sucks being fat, you're more prone to a lot of heart and respiratory complications, and you feel like you're in a suit of armor you cant escape, besides the crippling depression. Take care of yourself in the first place, spread the information of how to stay healthy and teach kids about healthy eating. Then I get to the part of the story where I call out the obvious ploy by the American GOP to keep us fat(or at least a percentage) so we never get away from selling us product after product. The odds are stacked against us by companies who obviously want an addiction to there bland food. they have our children, and they send subliminal conscience messages that rack our brain with there jingles and product placement. We're being sold a life style with every shake, and if we try to stop it, we'll get bought out and reformed. Can someone stop this? Does the average asshole want to stop this?

it's different when people cant lose the weight...but there's no way 1/5 of the population has that handicap. there are so many people that are just plain lazy.
on top of that, i saw a head line this week that said "American women would rather be rich than thin" and it added to the list of reasons why i want to leave this country.

I hope your wanting to leave this country is for monetary gain or some other precious cause. This world we live in gets worse the farther you get from this fairy tale land we've created with our American "freedoms".
