It doesn’t exactly take a Queer Eye marathon to have a general knowledge of pop culture fashion sayings.
All it takes, really, is not living under a rock (or, apparently, in Argentina).

I hate Hobos, the homeless, drunkards, winos and addicts. Stop asking for my F-ing change or washing my windows or talking to me. I do not need someone to wash my car at the self car wash. I do not want to be approached while pumping my gas at 10pm. I don’t care about your problems or why you have no money. Your friends and family don’t want to help you and neither do I.

I haven’t finished the thread, but had to respond to this.
My dad has two kids (they would be my half siblings)… and every time I see them I ask him why they eat so much crap.
Sugary drinks, candy, cookies, etc.
At meal time, they can’t even eat half their dinner.
Then finally, last time I was visiting, I took my little bro and sis to dad’s work. There was a lady who works there who I guess constantly feeds them candy, and she has really bad teeth (I mean, almost like “Does this lady smoke rock?” kind of teeth). As we left, I heard my dad tell them that if they continue to eat candy and sugar all the time, they will have teeth just like her. HILARIOUS. I about died laughing… but I began to understand how it was hard to explain to them why they should eat better.
My suggestion to him: quit buying crap… but he doesn’t do the grocery shopping (and obviously isn’t ‘wearing the pants’ to speak up).
“Thin is in but fat is where it’s at” anyone old enough to remember that statement from the seventies. I aways wonder, at exactly what point do fat people just give up and become obese. I’ve been in the homes of obese people, my work takes me there, and they don’t have mirrors, except a small face mirror in the bathroom.
I’m lean, so if I say things about obese people I get jumped all over. Not that I give a shit, the topic comes up and I’m all over it. I tell them, “I’m going to live a hundred years plus, you’ll be lucky to hit fifty, fuck’n wake up”. They’re still obese and I’m going to live to over a hundred, and have fun doing it. “Super size me” or “Superman”!

I don’t get why you feel bad? You’re looking out for your kid. If people are offended because you dont want your kid to be fat, then that’s their problem. It’s their fault for being lazy.
I agree with blazindave
Whatever happened to Calilaw? That lovable asshole…
so does that mean all the fat guys are gonna be hooking up with hot chicks now?
Somebody should’ve bumped his sour grapes thread. CLaw was entertaining.
I think we need to kill off all of the fat people in America in an effort to start a master race. I feel like I’m going to vomit whenever I see obese people. If I ever let myself go that far, I would kill myself.

You have posted 5 times on T-Nation and all 5 have sucked. Give it up.

Being fat for reasons other than medical is just a weakness. Unlike most of us who have a weakness fat people wear theirs for everyone to see.
One more thing, your weakness is that you cannot tolerate someone who is different than you are.
I’d rather be fat than be you.[/quote]
You are a nigger
4 more pounds and I’m obese, too!
At least part of the problem in the area of obesity is at the store. I can sympathize with some of those fatasses, because I have to feed a family of 4 on less than $30k/yr. When I go to the store for food, I have to choose between getting the stuff that is good for my family, or getting enough food for us all to continue eating until my next payday.
If I’ve got $5, then I have to choose between getting a small bag of apples, or a couple of loaves of crappy white bread and several pounds of pasta which will last longer. It’s a tough choice when I know I have two boys who are going to be eating pretty much constantly. I don’t want them to go hungry, but I don’t want them to eat junk for two weeks straight either. Most of the time, I have to compromise as best I can, and then just encourage the boys to get out and play as much as possible in order to make up for it.
If I had more money to spend, I would definitely have better quality food and less junk. I think that’s the case with a lot of people. That’s no excuse for being obese, obviously, but I think it’s a legitimate problem, and can account for at least some part of the current “epidemic”>
Being poor, Mr. Rezister’s point about fattening food being cheaper than good quality, but expensive food hits close to home.
This might even be an economic principle that needs study.
However, this isn’t universal as the French Paradox illustrates, a culture can have easy access to cheap, fattening food yet have a Value System that puts eating healthy above eating for the cheapest calories.
Having seen Americans eat and been invited to enough dinners in China to spot the difference in these cultures, it might be more than just a case of the economics of obesity.
One of the key differences I see is what Americans are WILLING (and not willing) to eat.
While I haven’t seen anyone so squeemish as to refuse to eat anything unless it came in sterile, neat little microwavable box, it does limit choices even if it be the best value nutrition wise.
The second is what Americans consider a “meal” sized portion.
Lastly, “Going Hungry” is a relative term.

That is a rough situation…at the same time, how many fat people ya know who are fat because they’re poor? It would be just as easy to buy a little bit of healthy food as a bunch of junk food. Yes they’ll be hungry quite often, but that won’t kill them. As a matter of fact, if they have issues with bf%, it may be a vast improvement in diet for them. Like the above poster said, “hungry” is a very relative term. Americans are usually just used to being stuffed, and think you’re either hungry or stuffed, there is no happy medium.
If you’re on a pretty steep budget, chances are you aren’t eating enough of the “crap” food to make you obese. If you are then cutting back on the food would only leave more change in your pocket. If you’re getting some healthy food to your kids, and some of it’s not the best relax.
Buy a few apples peanut butter and that loaf of bread.
peanut butter andjelly on white bread never made kids fat. Eating whole bags of potatoe chips and washing it down with non diet soda did.
