More About That Fat Website

Off Topic
41

I poked around on that site. One article cited a study saying that cancer was less prevalent among overweight people. That was all the information provided. Unfortunately, it didn’t state the age groups involved or whether this was a long-term observation. Since certain forms of cancers are more common among older people (e.g., prostate cancer and breast cancer), do you think the fact that the overweight people n the study might not have lived as long as their thinner counterparts due to other health risks means that they never reached the age where they were at risk for certain cancers?

They also have an entire discussion forum dedicated to mobility issues. How can they claim that it is “okay” for someone to be so fat that they cannot move to the same extent as an average? If their entire position is that certain people who are predisposed to being fat are “normal” and, despite medical data, can also be “healthy,” how is not being able to move “normal?” How is it “healthy?”

I’m not trying to be mean here; just discussing the facts.

Well, I hope America never gets to the point where every human failing becomes a ‘protected’ characteristic. These folks MADE THEMSELVES FAT. It’s wonderful that they’re proud of themselves, and I support that completely, but any expectation of national laws against ‘fat discrimination’, one hopes, are unlikely to come to fruition.

43

THAT is THE MOST Disgusting thing I have ever seen!! It’s like a train wreck, you don’t want to look, but you can’t help it.

44

Yeah…I found it quite disturbing as well. DAMN!!!

45

Cyto, I’d have to dispute those data, whereever you got them from. I have yet to see the person who doesn’t lose weight on a well-designed keto diet. So for me, the science and the real-world experience have been conclusively proven. No question about it at all.

However, if what you’re talking about is the rate of rebound after people quit their diets, then that would probably be about the same for keto as anything else. No reason for it not to be.

So this raises the question of: what is meant by “failing” when you’re talking about diets? Is it the physiology (as in, low-fat diets don’t work), or is it the psychology? If it’s the latter, then I think it’s more accurate to say that the people fail, not the diet itself.

46

Char,

That’s a good point about rebound. NAAFA claims that diets don’t work, but not because people don’t lose weight. Rather, they claim that diets don’t work because many people regain the weight in the long-term. This begs the question – it is the diet that didn’t work?

Damn, Mark R, that photo from the 5th is scary. I’m not sure but, isn’t this the same site that is lobbying the airline industry to allow people who don’t fit into a single seat to get another seat at no additional cost. If this happens, we should all hit the airlines up for a second seat so we can fly with our wives/girlfriends wherever we want to go. An airline ticket is for a specific seat, not two. If you can’t fit in one airline seat maybe you should look into pallet space in the cargo hold.

P.S. Please, for my stomach’s sake, no more pictures. I am trying to keep down the 6 meals a day I’m eating.

I wanna know who is providing for that, that, ‘Jabba-the-Hut’ look alike. From the picture it doesn’t look like she could walk, so who is feeding that human slug? Who would do such a thing? I think this might be a form of naturally imposed self regulation, if you eat so much, that you get so fat, that you can’t move you end up on a self imposed diet. So leave her on the couch until she can get to the fridge under her power…

Forrester – there is a subset of the “fat admirer” group called “feeders.” This really is a sexual aberration, I believe. Basically, they get sexual satisfaction from overfeeding thier mate. The fat is just the evidence of their “love.” Truly a sickness, in my book.

50

Feeders? Holy crap - this is getting sicker by the minute.

Did a google and found one of the most hilarious (and disturbing) things I’ve ever seen:

Rich,

Yes, this is the group that wants free seats on airplanes for fat people. They claim that they are buying transportation, not specific spaces of real estate (which is funny, as the airlines – the ones offering the service – say that they ARE selling space). They’re trying to latch their agenda onto ADA laws, as well as a few other legal tricks. If we let this happen, we’ll be paying even extra to support these people (in addition to their higher health insurance costs and other intangibles).

52

MookJong, you took the words right outa my mouth…

53

You know the worst kind of people in the world?

Fat people who sit next to you on the plane when you’re flying economy.

The kind that deserves to be rat-poisoned are the fat people who want to keep the arm rest UP so that they can invade MY seat.

And the kind that I look upon with pity is the fat guys who ask me out. I don’t consider myself gorgeous or anything like that, but I do have some standards, and I just don’t date fat guys as I do not find them physically attractive.

And the kind that deserves no pity from me is the fat people who say nothing can help them lose weight. When I was at the Portland Int’l Airport, waiting for my flight, a morbidly obese woman told me that it was unfair that fat people have to pay for the extra seat on the plane. She claimed loudly that I’d never understand what it’s like to be fat and not be able to lose no matter how hard one diets and exercises. I couldn’t sympathize as she was munching on a king size Snickers bar and drinking a large bottle of Coca-Cola Classic, while I was eating an apple and drinking a bottle of water.

Anyways, I agree that fat people cost us money. I think NAFAA should be dismantled.

54

That last picture is enough to make anyone go on a healthy diet!

U-G-L-Y She don’t need no alibi…

55

Stella,

You’re right about that! I’ve been stuck next to these people before, and it’s BRUTAL! I fill an airplane seat (differently than the woman you sat next to, of course), so they usually move next to someone small to steal half of their seat. One time, a fattie hinted that I should have to buy an extra seat too, as my shoulders are a little wider than the seat (not by much, though). I just laughed.

Fortunately, no one ever asked me to put up my arm rest (again, it wouldn’t do much good), but NAAFA does recommend on their Website that their members put up the arm rests! They also tell fatties to take a cart to the terminal, as it’s too hard to walk a few steps. They then tell people that can’t walk far enough to get to the terminal to SIT IN THE EXIT ROW FOR EXTRA SPACE!!! How fucking selfish can these people be? It’s bad enough that they put their own lives in risk, but they actually advocating endangering the lives of everyone else on the plane!

Next time a fattie complains to me, I’ll tell her to give up the doughnuts and twinkies for a couple of months, and to use the savings for a first class ticket. LOL!

DISMANTLE NAAFA NOW!!!

56

Mark,

NAFAA is so fucking stupid cuz the exit row seat arm rests DO NOT GO UP!!! Idiots. I ALWAYS keep my arm rests down, and if they bitch and moan, I’ll talk to the flight attendants. There’s a small perk or two to being a 150K+mile flyer, and one of them is the ability to have a stern talk w/ the flight attendants.

57

NAAFA’s not content with their ‘war’ on the airlines. NAAFA also thinks that auto manufacturers should be legally required to fit fatties! Check this out (the uncondensed version is at www.naafa.org/news/nl200307.htm):

My Odyssey with Honda

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Makes a Final Ruling

by Elizabeth Fisher

I am standing in a Honda dealership, on the phone with Honda’s National Customer Service department as they tell me you can get a seat belt extender anywhere (well, except from Honda), even at Wal-Mart. The truth is that there are no aftermarket seat belt extenders, even at Wal-Mart. A letter to American Honda’s president took a month to bounce from Honda’s Product Regulatory Department to one Honda attorney, and then a second Honda attorney, to their Consumer Affairs Manager, to a Team Environment Leader for Honda’s Consumer Affairs Division, and finally to his supervisor, who ended our last conversation with words I will never forget. “There is nothing you can do to get Honda to change their policy. Nothing.”

In April of 2000, I filed a petition with NHTSA, asking that the existing federal regulation governing the manufacture of seat belts, which only required automakers to manufacture seat belts that fit people up to 215 lbs., be changed. I asked that the new regulation require automakers to make seat belts available for sale, and also make longer seat belts an option at the time of purchase. NHTSA created a docket for public comment on my petition, DMS-NHTSA-2000-7580.

In my petition, I stated that if a person could physically fit in a vehicle, the person should be able to fasten his or her seatbelt. A simple idea, right? NHTSA’s response is that they cannot establish minimum performance requirements for seat belts based on such an imprecise guideline. They said that to develop objective and reasonable guidelines, NHTSA would have to know or estimate the dimensions of the largest vehicle user. “Given that many vehicles have belts long enough to fit almost all users and that optional longer belts or seat belt extenders are available for 87.5% of the fleet, the agency believes that a requirement to increase the belt length in all vehicles is unnecessary.”

I am disappointed that NHTSA did not change the federal regulation to require automakers to provide a means for passengers of all sizes to be able to fasten their seat belt in any vehicle they ride in. However, what they did do is to take my petition seriously, and as a result of that, I believe pressure has been put on automakers to voluntarily increase the length of their seat belts or make seat belt extenders available. NHTSA has also, for the first time, complied a list of autos and the length of their seat belts, and they are making that information available on their website.

Brider,

These ‘feeders’ are truly disgusting. They trick fat women with poor self-esteem to actually get fatter just to sasify their sick sexual desires. They then typically abandon the fat women when they are done (which is when the woman completely immobile or worse) and move on to another one.

Is NAAFA protesting this victimization of its members? Not only are they not, but they actually support this, as these deviants provide a lot of NAAFA’s support!!! In fact, NAAFA has sickening dances and parties where these predators, as well as chubby chasers (fat admirers), can watch fattie wet t-shirt parties or fattie beauty contests, buy some fattie porn (DAMN!!! – how bad would that be to watch), and then ‘pick up a fattie’.

There’s something seriously wrong with this group, and I suppose I don’t care what’s wrong with them or not. I just know that it’s time to ensure that we don’t end up with some weird fat-entitlement society.

that pic is fucking hilarious!!!

Even if I were to live for a million years I could never understand how a person could let themselves get like this - it’s not as if it happens overnight now, is it?
