Im with you man, but as I understand it (and it definitely wouldn’t be the first time I misunderstood something) a person is unable to be fired is their weight is the reason they cannot perform their job. Like the example DJHT gave of a guy who works up high and over time eats himself out of that job, his company needs to find a position to give him in order to not fire him and open themselves up to being sued- and that is a crock of shit to me.[/quote]
And such is what happens in the real world. Incompetant fat people will now have a “can’t fire me” card, because (correct or not) they will sue for discrimination once fired.
There are also other things that willl happen — they will have to be given special fat people chairs in airlines and restaurants, just like you have handicapped parking spots.
The fat people will use the handicapped spots.
You will have lawsuits by fat people against mom-and-pop stores because the isle are too narrow for their fat ass to fit through, etc.
It’s a real can of worms.

Hm, I think I should sue this hotel for not having a Kosher restaurant, let alone meals with high protein content.
No, wait, look, I brought my own food for four days because I am not a fucking cry baby expecting the world to take care of my unique needs.
Whew! What a relief.[/quote]
Good points.
First off I hate fat people and I hate the idiots who try to defend them. Addicted to eating, addicted to sex, addicted to______ it doesn’t matter. It’s called being RESPONSIBLE. Not only for your own health, but for other reasons. This is why we as a country are falling behind. Buncha fucking pussys looking for sympathy.
I hope the the whole economic system collapses and people have to fend for themselves. I’ll be pushing fat people down and stealing their shit with a fucking grin.

Some people overeat to cope with problems, some people smoke meth to cope with problems. i genuinely feel that there are a lot of people that cure depression with gorging themselves, and are addicted to food as you mentioned.
what about studies like this? i dont know if this is a credible source but ive heard it mentioned by a few other sources that i do count as credible.

You may well be right about the addiction aspect, but no one tells people who smoke meth that they should “just accept themselves,” ignore the haters, and just keep on smoking meth, do they? Much less tell them meth addiction can be beautiful and set those meth addicts up with their own parking spaces. Come on, if people with drug addiction are encouraged to kick the habit - both for their own sake and larger benefit to society - than it should be no different for the fat asses.

I don’t know if this was brought up already but what is the measurement for FAT?
Is it the BMI? If so, most of us would be considered fat and fall under the legislation too!
Was Jesus fat? No, you shouldn’t be either…that is my response.

I do that now but only because they discriminated against me for being skinny.
There was a woman at my work who was so obese she had a scooter thing and they had (not sure if the really HAD to) to improve accessibility for her. She got her stomach stapled and lost hundreds of pounds and now is normal. She has been putting the weight back on and then losing some of it again. I think it’s a lifelong struggle for her. (She does still work here)
I am not completely convinced there are not hormonal issues where they are either never satiated or are always hungry. Since starting to workout I have a massive appetite and I am hungry most of the time. It’s not pleasant and it takes a lot of will not to eat everything in sight, even eating 2500-3000 calories. So I am a bit more understanding to what some people might go through. Obviously not everyone who is obese is like this.
I can go on a diet and be quite uncomfortably hungry for a period of time but there is always an end. People with problems with obesity often have a lifetime of this. Honestly if it was like being on a really strict diet ALL the time in order to not get fat it might be tempting to just say fuck it. Can you imagine being on a cutting diet all the time? What if that is what it’s like? (Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t)
I think there needs to be a lot more research in this area, especially on how the American diet and lack of exercise as kids affects people’s bodies later in life. It seems possible to me that the diabetes inducing diet so many have might be wreaking havoc on them.

It takes 5-6,000 cals and a pack of cigarettes to get to the point I’m not hungry. I just eat differently (eat different Macros), sleep more, and do more GPP more if I want to control the weight. It’s easier for me to work an extra 1000 off than than to stifle my hunger and not eat the 1000.
I notice that I balloon much faster when I eat carbs, I can put down 8k no sweat if there is no protein, if it is a protein and fat diet, I can fell the discomfort of being full much sooner.
Not quite true. I’m pretty sure that alcoholism can be classified as a disability, once an alcoholic has gone to a clinic and been diagnosed by a physician as having alcoholism (or whatever the fuck it’s called medically), is protected by the ADA because their status because that of a disabled person. The set of requirements for this protection are extremely narrow.
For instance, you cannot be currently using illegal drugs or prescription drugs illegally and be considered a protected “addict.” But, I think if you had gone through rehab and are now clean, you are protected by the ADA in some manner, because of the negative perception of even former addicts.

I think the definition of addiction needs to be clarified. In everyday life, I see ‘addiction’ being claimed anytime someone simply lacks willpower. It’s not the same. Addition = compulsion, not desire. A desire to satisfy the compulsion, maybe, but it is the compulsion that’s the problem, not the desire. I desire many things, I could indulge in them if I wanted, but I’m not compelled in some impossible-to-resist way to acquire them that overpowers my common sense and willpower.
Food addicts are usually the ones who will go to extremes to try to get skinny - total starvation (since complete deprivation won’t set their addiction off), bulimia (they can’t resist eating it, but they can barf it back up), etc. One problem (food addiction) usually leads to others as the person tries to self-medicate the first.
Most people who stuff their faces are just lazy and complacent.
I know a woman who has been obese for something like 20 years now. She’s now over 350lbs, and she’s getting heavier. I’ve given her diets, but she won’t listen. When she goes on a diet, she picks at things and has little ‘innocent’ snacks (a brownie here, a slice of cake for breakfast there), then never understands why she’s still fat.
I know a different woman, she’s over 400lbs, can barely walk, will probably have a heart attack one day. Someone on the street might look at her and say “she has an addiction, it’s impossible to get that big otherwise.” But she has straight up told me that she just likes food and doesn’t want to moderate it. She’s fine getting fat because she prefers pasta over salad and everyone has a vice. She eats a LOT, and that’s because she has made the personal decision to throw caution to the wind and indulge like there are no consequences. It’s her choice to satisfy her lust of food, not a compulsion to stuff her face for reasons she can’t understand.
I’d also like to add:
I sincerely believe that a good portion of the population is PRONE (not doomed) to being fat genetically when eating a diet primarily high in carbs and processed foods (as is the American diet). It didn’t matter in the prairie days since there wasn’t enough food to gorge, and most of the diet was meat and vegetables and fruit, not processed food filled with corn syrup.
Finally, I also believe most of the fat population can get skinny and stay skinny if they truly want to. This involves a lot of initial work, and a lifetime commitment of eating a strict diet, usually one that is, for the most part, deprived of everyday ‘normal’ food. As long as it is easy to be fat, many people will not willingly put in the effort to get skinny.
Fat people are complacent.
