It saddens me to see, lately commercials have been sneaking fat kids into them. BAD bad bad. They are trying to reach the fat kids market by sneaking them into the ads. Not just kids they are using overweight adults too, in recent ads. It’s just not right.[/quote]
I’d be alright with those “it’s ok to be fat” subliminal fat-acceptance advertising that you mentioned, if:
the fatties were depicted as huffing and puffing, greasy, sweaty and miserable, with mobility issues
or
they were wearing dark shades as if blind, with missing fingers and legs like my diabetic grandpa before he died
or
having a heart attack - or some other major disease event - during the commercial, without it affecting the advertising message in the slightest
Then we can accept subliminally, as well, the fact that obesity is unhealthy and disgusting. We can’t accept the choices without accepting the potential consequences.

PANORAMIC
Wow, look at that gorgeous panoramic view. The fact it usually refers to geographic sights is particularly fitting in its implications.

I like “PALATIAL”. It can be thrown into brilliant dinner conversations like, “Oh dear, this meal was delicious and your wife’s ass is simply palatial”.
Ok, you may not want to say ass, but as you can see, that word just flows with majestic poise ready to be laid on the palatial asses of America.
Even though he is an annoying D-bag, I thank god for people like that John Basedow guy. You know the … “It’s fitness made simple, Da da da. It’s made for real people, Da da da. It’s made for real life.”
His little system is probably the best thing out there for fat people who want to lose weight. It gets cardio and using light weights will at least keep thier muscles from shrinking in the process.
Wow, talk about intolerance!!! Why so much hate? Most of you sound like a bunch of self righteous butt holes. What does it matter to you if someone chooses to live an un-healthy lifestyle? I?d be willing to bet that if all the people in the world were healthy, you would still find something you don?t like about a lot of people.
I can understand the frustration with people blaming everyone else for their unhealthiness but to HATE someone based solely on their appearance? How much more close minded can you be? You want to make a difference in the world? Instead of pointing the finger and laughing, why not get to know the person and help them. I would also be willing to bet that most people who are fat (and when I say most I mean 90%+) have at one time or another TRIED to lose weight and failed. Why? Damn near everyone who spends much time on this site knows why, the information out there for weight loss is a joke. How can anyone expect to be successful without the knowledge or recourses to be successful?
Who do we blame? The Government? Sure, they spend money on going after steroids and supplement companies that could be MUCH better used going after those late night info-morons trying to make a quick buck. Not to mention the complete lack of education programs designed to help people (and not just children) healthier and therefore more productive in society. But before you start blaming everything on every one else ask yourself one question? What have you done to help? Standing around with your ignorant thumbs up your self absorbed ass doesn?t help.
How many of these fat people truly WANT to be fat? I?m guessing very few (I hated being fat). How are they going to know how to do it if the fit people are so stuck up and egocentric that they just point and laugh or shake their head in disgust?

I don’t hate all fat people, I do have fat friends. BUT, I hate people that cut and paste their posts from Microsoft Word or some other program so they can be sure both their spelling and grammar are correct.

I used to have “the benchpress rule”. If I could benchpress them, I could screw them. That worked out great untill I started getting stronger (see, lifting actually does have some negative effects). While on paper it would have broadened the pool of potential partners (sounds good when put in those terms), I eventually saw fit to amend the rule for obvious reasons.

Trust me, you want me to spell check my post. I am a horrible speller.
I am interested to know how you can tell when someone cuts and pastes.

If apostrophes or quotation marks are used, they are translated to question marks.
Hmm, Prof, palatial is another nice grand word, but it has implications fat people can’t live up to.
For example, things that are palatial often have lots of uncluttered space and towering heights. Fat people don’t tower very well, they seem to sag, I think.
Howabout, “I’m irresistibly attracted to her, she’s positively gravitational.” Or maybe, “I like the way she curves the space-time continuum.” Oh, hey, howabout, “I’m in orbit around that bitch.” Heh, leading to, “I’ll break up with her someday… as soon as I can achieve escape velocity!”

Hey, if you divide your MaxBench by your bodyweight, this tells you the number of chicks you are allowed to simultaneously f*** … :0)

Yes, “GRAVITATIONAL” does seem to reflect reality slightly more than “PALATIAL”. I shall have to add this to my obesity identification jargon for future reference. This could explain why everyone is sitting so close to Star Jones on The View.

Do you round the number if it is not a whole, or do you have to find half a woman?
If you can round, I vote for the standard to round up and not down.

That is fantastic. Gravitational! ROTFL!!!
I had a fat friend that we used to call “orbit”. We joked that me was so fat, the Earth was actually stuck in his gravitational pull.

I don’t hate anyone based on their appearance…
I think it has more to do with a lack of desire and having a defeatest attitude than lack of knowledge or resources…
I’ve talked with alot of fat people that have asked me for advice…all of them knew they should be eating fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, lean sources of protein, and drinking plenty of water as their diet (and not eating processed junk)…all of them knew that they should be exersizing vigorously on a regular basis…but none of them would actually do it for more than a few weeks before giving up…
the fat people that I’ve spoken with want to be healthy, they just don’t want to do the hard work required to get there…they’d rather take a ‘miracle’ pill or get surgery…something they can do without putting much effort into it…
I don’t blame the government because I’m not more muscular…I have only myself to blame if I don’t reach my goals…
fat people have no one to blame but themselves if they are unhappy with the way they look…
when asked for help I give my advice…I’ve answered (to the best of my knowledge) every question that has ever been asked of me…I shown people how to lift, shown them how to use machines, spotted and critiqued…all at no charge…
if someone doesn’t ask me directly I mind my own business (I’ve always been annoyed when some shmuck gives me unsolicited advice and I bet fat people are too)…
I doubt there is a fat person alive that truly wants to be fat…
as for the rest of your question, I think I’ve answered that above…
Being a Darwinist, I believe in natural selection. If they were born with a brain that says it is acceptable to live with a body that greatly reduces their survival and replication value, so be it. Let those fuckers die happy in denial. Hopefully if enough of them die they will learn their lesson.
On the other hand, I will be a personal trainer in two years and hopefully i can talk some sense into them. Maybe even transform a couple hundred Big Macs into Mac Daddy’s and Dairy Queens into Salt Shakers.

Problem is, they generally breed a couple of decades before dying. In some cases, they become that way after pregnancy. Darwinism does not apply much nowadays. Without a social safety net, MAYBE it could apply.

LMAO, or everyone could be sitting next to her because there is nowhere else BUT next to her. She lost a lot of weight but it didn’t help in the least; she simply isn’t attractive at all. I actually thought she looked “better” when she was fatter, go figure…
What’s up with all the fat bashing (disclaimer: no I’m not fat)? I’m pretty sure that there’s a small percentange - very small - that are fat because of some genetic disposition\metabolic issues. Even though these probably wouldn’t manifest if they didn’t put themselves in that environment, i.e. around large quantities of food…
