If it gets that bad, I’m just gonna call Morlocks vs. Eloi and buy some serious stock in that promising new Soylent company we’ll undoubtedly be hearing so much about.
Vid related.
You know it’s bad when your grandfather’s beer belly is healthier than 42% of the population.

What metric do you think they will use to determine who should pay more? Probably the same one from the article right?
My BMI is 34, which is obese on any scale. So yeah, fuck that noise.
I hate when I see people posting on facebook about big is beautiful. Blah blah blah fucking sickening. I like a woman with curves but there is a limit where it isn’t curves or even being thick its just fat as hell. O I have a thyroid problem, o i have this problem; this and that seeing the women like in that video made me almost vomit. People need to take responsibility and be healthy.
My BMI is 30 
yet I am 12% bf. People who have alot of muscle which makes them have a high BMI due to how the scale is, isn’t even put into the system because it is considered such a low percentage of people.
Somebody on this forum is turned on by this shit lol
Well ice cream is pretty delicious.

BMI scales are all fucked up for just about anyone who trains, even people who don’t try to gain significant muscle mass. I once saw a documentary that addressed this, and according to the current BMI formula, Brad Pitt and George Bush Jr. are overweight.
Regarding the obesity problem, I actually wrote an 8 page article about how I believe physical education should be overhauled. That would help a lot, since lazy ass kids make lazy ass adults.
Secondly, just don’t subsidize health care. Make everyone pay for themselves, and 1-fat people will have to pay for their own actions, instead of the whole country having to pay for it, and 2-it will become too damn expensive to be fat, so people will finally have an incentive to be healthy, because it’s obvious that an early death isn’t enough for them
I don’t think there should be some kind of BMI number that once you’re over, you have to pay or something. Just make everyone pay for themselves.
It would be nice if insurance companies at least would re-evaluate BMI scales vs. other health indicators. Being self employed, I buy my own and pay obese premiums although I’m very fucking healthy. Blood pressure, cholesterol, body fat… all in check, considering general health. Ridiculous.
But i have …insert common excuse fat ppl make… so i cant be responsible for my fatness so everyone should have to cover my expenses since i cant help it.

I believe in social welfare. But it is getting to the point where I agree with this[1]
I believe in freedom, even freedom to eat yourself to death.
But if you do, that’s your f—g problem.

yesterday President Obamas lead chef was overheard to say that Obesity IS a national security issue.
2pm (pct) The Five on Fox News BERATED a chef for insisting that fat and obese people could possibly
be a security issue.
Are you kidding me ? ? ? It is a H U G E issue (pun intended) when our armed service members can not get their
fat asses moving to engage the enemy. Have anyone else seen the fucking cadet classes that are out there ?
I have seen herds of wisconsin HEFFERS with more mobility and endurance than some of these idiots.
And Fox News does not think it will be an issue…
America is not obese, it’s just a myth perpetuated by the skinny hater commies that are jealous of our great progress and gains.
Way I look at it, being obese is a health risk just like smoking or heavy drinking, hard drug use, high blood pressure, etc. However, OBVIOUSLY using the BMI isn’t gonna be useful for determining whether or not people are obese, a simple basic caliper test should suffice, combined with maybe waist measurement and weight. Some formula involving those 3 should be accurate enough for these purposes.
It is NOT the govt’s responsibility to take care of this stuff however. It certainly is an individual’s choice to be obese if they want to be. That doesn’t absolve them of being responsible for the consequences. Likewise, if a job’s parameters and requirements would keep an obese person from fulfilling the duties necessary to hold that position, they have no right to go about crying “discrimination” if they made that choice.
And I feel fat because I can’t see all my abs.

I’m not kidding that when I first read “security risk” I tried to think how and could only think of fat people returning from an overseas vacation having 30lbs of C4 stuffed into them while they were sleeping and blowing up at the airport or something.
