Fat people have a hard time here, always bullied and to my shame I must admit that haven't always been the nicest guy to have around, or more accurate, I have been a total bastard when I was younger, a lot of things I did and said that I really regret now. :shame:

I think Im going to be a pessimist here very shortly which is rather sad because my mum said that wouldn't happen till I was at least 40. So not only am I pessimist whose country is criciling the drian but I have a liar for a mum.:wall:

Fat People Need to be Accepted ....
terms and conditions apply .
There was this day last year when I was working at the airport , a nice day which meant lots of tourists going out to the islands , it meant a lot of very big people getting onto very small planes .
Due to the nature of the planes , the airport and the flights the pilots pick who to carry on each flight based on both the size of the people and the amount of luggage they want to bring .
As you can imagine lots of fat people waited a long time on the apron because pilots would only fit a few of them in at a time .
Was that discrimination ? were they getting a hard time of it ? did they feel rejected ?
Now here is the crunch , one man was really really fat , I mean absolutely huge .
He was left standing on the tarmac while all the planes were coming and going , getting rejected each time , he must have felt the world was against him . Finally he was the only one left waiting when a plane came in , the pilot gave him the nod and he went to board .
He then found that was too fat to get through the plane door anyway and had to go by boat instead .
Should he have been accepted or should he have had the sense to take the boat in the first place ?Perhaps someone should have just told him "sorry you is too fat to fly" , but then would he have felt rejected and disriminated against anyway .

And yes I laughed a hell of a lot at that airport watching fat people trying to fly .

Tribesman I am lmao at the thought of that fat guy having to get shipped home! Hilarious! :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

In seriousness though, I would never poke fun at a person over their weight - whether it is caused by eating too much or a medical condition, it must have a damaging enough affect on their lives without society throwing it back in their face.

Obesity should not be taken for granted. However, people are too heavy not because of their own shortcomings, but because governments cave in too much to food corporations and refuse to protect consumers.

A few simple measures would go a long way. Less profits for a few companies perhaps, but a huge financial benefit for society as a whole through less healthcare expenses.

Oh well, it took over a century to clamp down on the tobacco industry. Obesity has only been an epidemic for three decades. Who knows, in seventy years time...

Fat is Freedom!! (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081112/od_nm/us_fat;_ylt=AvblThMkT4qFdoHqDcsZVvouQE4F)

Canadian prisoner, too fat for cell, released early

Wed Nov 12, 2:13 pm ET OTTAWA (Reuters)

Canadian prison authorities were forced to release a 450-pound (205 kg) drug gang member this week because he was too large for his cell, the Journal de Montreal newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Michel Lapointe -- known as Big Mike -- was arrested in September 2006 and received a five-year sentence in May this year. The paper said he could not fit on the chair in his Montreal prison cell and when he went to bed, his body protruded six inches on either side.

A letter from the authorities to Lapointe said: "You have been detained for more than 25 months and your prison conditions are difficult because of your health".

The authorities also cited the refusal of two other facilities to accept the 37-year-old. He was freed late on Tuesday.

"I'm going to have a proper bed and finally have a chair I can sit in," he told the paper outside the prison. "I want a normal life. I've done some stupid things and I've paid for them," he said.

Yet it's found in so many things these days in America. Down to most breads, whole wheat or otherwise, even in your double cheese burgers. The frenchmen's right about this one, alot of it does have to do with our government. From the pork the congress feeds to the corn industry to the idea's of entitlement that seems to have created an entire generation of people who think the ill's of their lives are never their fault.

Obesitas is a lower class problem, good food is expensive, especially 'real' food without all the chemicals. In that situation cheap tasty fast-food is a bit of a curse, you think you just ate something but it's nothing at all.

You can eat mcdonalds every day and not get fat as long as you don't eat too much of it and you get enough exercise.

QFT. Anyone who says diets don't work isn't trying. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. You can even remain sitting on your couch without moving at all and lose weight, you just have to eat nothing but celery in the process. If you're not losing weight, eat less and get more exercise until you do. The human body cannot defy the laws of physics.

This discrimination occurs despite evidence that 95 to 98 percent of diets fail over five years and that 65 million Americans are labeled “obese.”

Sigh.

I won't deny that differences in physical makeup affect how fast you burn calories and whatnot, but when you weigh 300 pounds it's a bit rich to argue that you were predestined to become so fat :wall:

It's true that a lot of foodstuffs in the supermarket are junk, that's why you've got to watch what you eat. An old friend of mine (who was always chubby) has become so much overweight that when I or other people receive him at the house you've got to be careful wich chair he'll be seated on. We have in the past repeatedly warned him about his health and heard him claim that he'd start with diets and sports, only to do nothing. (I've considered going sporting with him on a weekly basis but the truth is I'm not very motivated myself- but I don't have a personal need to)
I haven't done any statistical work on this myself but I'm pretty sure that this is typical of most fat people. Said persons' parents aren't thin either, but not as big as him and besides, it doesn't explain his weight increase over the past years.

Disclaimer: I don't support school bullying, job refusal or deportation of fat people and I've never done any of those things myself.

Man, if you've never deported fat people you haven't lived,

Anyways, as has been said:

In - Out + Generation - Consumption = Accumulation

They're asking us to accept and support people who's problems are entirely of their own making because of low willpower.

I understand it. I won't support it. And I doubt I subscribe to their 'understanding' anyway.

I think SFTS is joking, especially since he calls himself an "Unapoligetic Muscle Elitist".

But seriously, walking and bicycling are good low-intensity workouts to start getting into shape. Just a little more each day.

What people have said earlier is completely true, as long as you burn more calories than you consume, you can eat anything. I for one go through periods of eating nothing but McDonalds for a few weeks (disgusting, i know) and yet i'm still losing visible fat. For the first time since i was 7, my chest is completely fat. I've lost my paunch!

Goodnight, sweet prince ;_;

I don't understand how monosodium glutamate is addicting in any fashion. Sure it may not be the best for your health, but basically 2 billion plus people in Asia eat it regularly every day and they haven't gotten horrendous diseases from it yet....

Regarding losing fat:

Increased life expectancy due to calorie restriction has been proven to occur regardless of what type of food you ingest. Technically, you can only eat butter and as long as you get enough supplements to have the Vitamins and other stuff you need, you will lose weight and improve in health

But the thing is he ate 5,000 calories worth of food each day which is way too high.

If you only eat maybe 1 normal Big Mac meal a day ONLY, you will most likely lose weight

On the other hand, he also restricted himself to only walking at about the average rate most Americans walk, which is way too low.
