My avatar will attract more posters. I got you guys covered.

On topic, fat people are going to always look for excuses. But then hey, less competition wouldn’t ya say?

I think it would be funny for some of the fat people who said they had a medical condition to be put into a situation where they lost that weight. Wonder what they would say then.

“Surprise! I actually was just lazy. Go figure.”

“Why the hell didn’t I do this earlier?!”

the world is becoming weak and soft, psychologically and physically. We need some hardship, some global crisis, so we can stop being such pussies. Yeah, I said it…

Told you I would bring posters to the thread.

no it just makes it the norm. if you dont eat twinkies 3 times a day, drink coke with every meal and actually go to a gym youre outcasted not praised.

but if i have to be the only guy on the planet who wont settle for fucking some 260 pound fat rolls bitch then so be it.

As a former fat person (well, still a little fat) I can tell you the number one reason why people are fat. We refused to accept the truth that life is not fair. Some people can eat all day and stay skinny, some can’t.

I am one who can’t. Once you accept that you can stop being fat, or you wallow in self pity and eat yourself to death. That’s what separates us.

My favorite thing is how fat people complain that skinny people can eat all day and not get fat, yet often these people hate eating. Its one of those fun games your god likes to play with your mind.

I have observed what skinny people eat, and not surprising they don’t eat that much. Sure a skinny 15 year old could eat endless amounts,but skinny adults are lite eaters. And many times they are two pack a day smokers.
And by the way who wants to be skinny?

Almost everyone except for the people in shape or in the middle ground(probably 40% of the US.)

I think people are inherently lazy most of the time and refuse to take advice from people like us out of disdain and because there are “professionals” who can supposedly guide them better. I know people with aches are pains that would be alleviated by just taking a couple of tablespoons of fish oil, or people who have developing heart problems but refuse to take flax seed instead opting out for more drugs and medications from doctors who most likely know jack shit about nutrition.

This country(US) is severely undereducated in regards to academics but at the moment I’d say that our worse situation is our complete lack of knowledge of the human body.

Just don’t buy the genetic argument.

Read the article and I have seen many like it.
Of course genetics plays a role to a point.
Many of us may never be totally shredded. But, I believe that looking good in clothes is attainable for the majority of population.
Look at photos from 1880’s-the men look strong and slim,while the women look stout.
Too little movement,too much crappy food.

Agreed and this is one argument most “fat acceptance” people just seem to ignore - they believe that genetically we have a certain predestined “set weight” and all efforts to change it are basically futile. But it makes no sense why suddenly the predestined “set weight” for all of america would jump 30lbs or so in a generation (we did not have an obesity crisis in the 50’s). It’s clear as day that shitty food and lack of exercise are responsible for this much more than any sort of genetic change.

i would actually argue that shitty food and lack of exercise are responsible for a genetic change.

i dont have a background in anthropology but it just seems logical that over the years the worse you make your own genetics the worse potential your offspring would have.

take a look at the Belgian Blue, the cattle which was bred to be born with double muscles or something to that extent, basically the ronnie coleman of cattle. so its proven that through the breeding of paticular genes the next generation will have more of those traits and you can breed the best of that group to produce more, and so on.

so the obvious opposite to that would be that if you take the worst of the worst and keep letting them mate they would keep producing worse offspring.

so if two obese people whos parents were obese have kids its more likely that the those genes are going to be the ones passed down. which actually brings up another argument; could this guys family background be so awful he is actually predestined to be fat?

i would say no however because i dont think these obesity crisis has been around in enough generations yet for it to be that significant but perhaps in 3 or 4 more generations it is a likely possibility.

genetics are a fact. breeding is a fact. if you are muscular and your wife is fit you will probaly have a higher probability to have more athletic, or at least good looking children. of course if you feed them nothing but blueberry pie it may not turn out so good. [/quote]

Genetics DO NOT work that fast. When SELECTIVELY BREEDING cattle, dogs, etc, it can still take generations to bring out and regularly get desired qualities. With human beings, the VAST majority of whom are not saying “hmmm, who would be my ideal mate based on genetics for our children” it takes even longer. Junk food over the last century has not changed our genetics. Genetics are what you are born with, not early-onset diabetes that you acquire from eating too much high fructose corn syrup

i know, thats why i said

"i would say no however because i dont think these obesity crisis has been around in enough generations yet for it to be that significant but perhaps in 3 or 4 more generations it is a likely possibility. "

i hate when people quote me but obviously havent read a thing of it.

Don’t expect me to keep count of how many times you contradict yourself and then try to interpret what your finally position is. This isn’t some free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness thought experiment. In less time than it took to type your rambling manifesto you could’ve thought about what you wanted to say and how to phrase it.

When you say “i would actually argue that shitty food and lack of exercise are responsible for a genetic change” that is going to make people thing - strangely enough that you would argue that shitty food and lack of exercise are responsible for a genetic change.
