New report: obesity cost USA 300 billion a year.

[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Oh go f*ck yourself.[/QUOTE]
Being fat is worse than being a junkie. A person can still use drugs like LSD, Heroin, cocaine and do so in a responsible manner and function as a valued member of the community. Yet the government infringes upon these natural rights to self-medicate like a responsible adult. Worse still, they coerce you into a corrupt system- not for your own benefit, but for their own profit. (pharmaceutical companies are making a killing)

A lot of people are food enthusiasts. There's nothing wrong with that. But the obese display their irresponsibly and negligence for all to see. They are objectively and undeniably less able to perform than those who are not obese. Egalitarian feel-good propaganda aside, they are less able to support both themselves and the community, and so they are an unnecessary burden.

This is an anonymous forum, so me telling you this is an act of kindness. I'm doing you a favor, because maybe you come from a pampered background where nobody has the courage to tell you how positively revolting it is to see and interact with fat people.

Hit the gym, bro.

[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Oh go f*ck yourself.[/QUOTE]

fatass confirmed:lol

[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Ooh good one! Let me guess, did you also f*ck my mom last night?

Nobody is making you deal with or be friends with fat people. Nobody is making you f*ck fat people.

There's no reason for you to give a shit.

The only thing worth complaining about is if you're sitting next to a 400 pound person on a plane.

Grow the f*ck up, or change something in society instead of just bitching on a forum.[/QUOTE]

If it's costing the US shitloads of money, it's a problem. It also makes America look shitty worldwide. Plus American culture and shitty food is spread in even the most unknown places in the world...it's a big problem.

Fat people are also slow and take up room on pathways as well as planes.

Pathetic as it is, being a healthy American is changing something in society.

Obesity isn't an epidemic in the USA. It is an epidemic all over the world. People like to make fun of Americans as fat but the truth of the matter is that the US isn't the most obese country in the world. That goes to Mexico and a country like England has over 23% of the people being obese.

It is prevalent in developed countries and even underdeveloped countries are seeing a rise in obesity as well.

[QUOTE=~primetime~]Thank you Dresta for being a fat depressed slob who will have heart failure before age 50, we healthy parasites won't have to pay for you in your old age. Your willingness to avoid the gym is really putting others before yourself, thank you oh great one.

:bowdown:[/QUOTE]
So now because i defend fat people's right to be fat i'm also fat? Just because i admit the FACT that obese people don't actually cost society and healthy people trying to live forever off social security handouts do, i am also a 'fat depressed slob.' Nice logic there. Keep up the ad hominem because your line of argument is bunk and it is really all you have.

[QUOTE=~primetime~]also saying "long healthy lives cost more than short obese lives" may be true...but that doesn't take into account the fact that the average healthy life probably produces 10x the amount of money than the average fat fck who decided to sit on his couch his whole life.

healthy people PRODUCE and CONTRIBUTE more to society than fat slobs do...and I don't need to hunt down stats to understand that but here you go:

shocker :eek: , the thinner and healthy you are the more money you produce[/QUOTE]
You are one seriously retarded human being. Fat people are far more likely to be lazy, ergo they are far more likely to to be less productive than healthy people. They aren't unproductive because they are fat, they are unproductive because they are lazy slobs who sit on their asses. Churchill was fat and yet he was more productive than 99% of non-fat people. Why are you too stupid to understand this?

You also don't account for the fact that people who are poor are likely to gauge themselves on food because it is the one of the few things in their lives that gives them comfort. You really have severe trouble thinking about things don't you? Any scientist will tell you that correlation does not equal causation. I honestly don't think dense pieces of shit like yourself who aim to live forever produce much of value for society, rather they are leeches that suck society dry. You should be proud of yourself being such a reprehensible leech while also telling people how they should be living and claiming they are draining society.

Ok, Mr 'i think i can live forever' - you really couldn't get more selfish and obsessed as that.

[QUOTE=GimmeThat]Besides the fact that fat people, supports an eco system that probably isn't best for the country, but only for capitalism.

You can make it legal to not save someone who is in the emergency room.

Or you can make costly behaviors much more expensive.

"I shouldn't get punished for trying to get treatment. But I should be punished for trying to get myself more treatment"

Go figure that out.[/QUOTE]
This doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me. Anyone else like to try?

Just read the article and it is full of shit.

Absolutely no fu[COLOR="Black"]ck[/COLOR]ing surprise Louisiana is #1 for highest rate of adult obesity...

They got the most delicious food in the country :confusedshrug:

I went there for a week and gained atleast 15 pounds. Worked my butt off for a little more than a week to lose those pounds but it was totally worth it :pimp:

[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Everything costs us a shitload of money though. The average person isn't going to notice a few cents of tax money going to healthcare for fat people.

[B]America is built on greed and money, and our shit permeates the world no doubt... But isn't that more on the corporations making addictive food and spreading franchises worldwide than it is on the dumb people that don't eat better and fall victim to marketing? Other countries fall victim to that too.[/B]

:oldlol: Come on, pathways? Just walk around somebody, it's more exercise.

I agree that being healthy is what should take precedence, but what I'm saying is people need to worry about themselves instead of going on fat bashing rants. Worry about your own eating habits and exercise, nothing else is really your concern. It's the same thing as slut shaming and abortion and all the personal choice stuff. If someone wants to eat until they get diabetes it's on them. If a chick wants to f*ck a bunch of dudes it's on her.

Plus many people with weight problems already hate themselves and have psychological issues with food dependence. For the most part how is calling them pieces of shit going to do anything other than drive them into another box of Twinkees?[/QUOTE]
Although i agree with the second half of your post, what an earth does that bolded section mean, and on what basis do you make such a ludicrous accusation?

People eat because they seek pleasure. It has nothing to do with 'corporations' and everything to do with the predominance of utilitarian thought, which has dominated politics ever since the end of the 19th century. As smoking rates have decreased, obesity rates have increased, and this is because human beings seek pleasure and comfort, and corporations only provide for that desire. People weren't obese in the 19th century because life was actually hard then; pain was rife, and comfort was sparse, and people weren't self-indulgent in the same way they are today (because life was harder, more precarious, and much more uncomfortable).

edit: worldwide obesity has nothing to do with American culture 'permeating the world', and if you'd travelled you'd know that. In Tunisia (a place i've spent about 6 months in) pretty much every single female above the age of 30 is obese. why? because they sit around and stuff their faces with homemade cakes containing tonnes of sugar - what does this have to do with America? That is their own culture and way of life).

I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more with your post. "Nothing else is really your concern?" Well, as a citizen of this country, yes it is. You're post reeks of selfishness. "Well, as long as I suck up to my bosses from 9-5 and have a shitty suburban house with a shitty lawn, what do I care if poverty is rising, gun crime is through the roof, wars are being fought around the world, and inequality is rising? It doesn't affect me here in good ol' Shitcrapington, Massachusetts!" Newsflash: Yes it does. It may not affect you directly, but it certainly will indirectly affect you or your descendents should you have them. By standing by and doing nothing while the world crashes down, you are at as much fault as anyone else.

Does calling them "sluts" or bashing them for their unfortunate state solve the problem? No, they need to go through their own journey- and more often then not they need rehabilitation or help from their fellow man. When I'm at the gym and see a whale walk through the door probably nervous and embarrassed, I don't point and laugh at them. Why you ask? Because they made a conscious effort to improve themselves- and it's damn easy to give up at any moment. I help them out and show them the ropes.

Little things like that may not make a drastic difference, but if more people cared about society beyond what they think it owes them or how much they can steal from it, then the world we live in would be a much different place. It is not some emotional idealistic fantasy, but just a sense of categorical moral duty.

Firstly, poverty is only rising because we have been living beyond our means for some time now; also, when you talk about 'poverty' you are really largely referring to relative poverty, which is both an arbitrary and meaningless measurement. Secondly, i would like you to define 'society' and also how people can have the slightest bit of care for a 'society' that is comprised of 350 million or so people - it is not possible for a human being to ACTUALLY care about something so vast and abstract. If local communities hadn't been bulldozed by Federal and administrative centralisation then you would have a valid point, but with the current set-up it is impossible to truly care about society because no true 'society' really exists: it is just hundreds of millions of people milling around under the same flag, and governed by the same bureaucrats.

Wow you must be pretty fat, can you see your own cawk or do you need a mirror for that?

[QUOTE=~primetime~]Wow you must be pretty fat, can you see your own cawk or do you need a mirror for that?[/QUOTE]
Just the kind of childish response i would expect from someone with the intelligence of a gnat.

You are the worst kind of former addict: one who exudes a holier-than-thou attitude towards others just because he kicked his pitiful habit, thinks his ability to do so makes him strong and superior, and also thinks he has the right to tell other people what they should be doing just because [I]he[/I] couldn't handle his shit. Reality check: not everyone is like you, and plenty of human beings can control themselves better than you could ever hope. Keep up that abstinence, it must be fun; the rest of us will enjoy ourselves to our heart's content without becoming deranged alcoholics or drug addicts. You should try not to be so jealous of others having a good time simply because [I]you[/I] can't control yourself.

But yeah... keep telling people how they should live their lives you worthless alcoholic, drunk-driving peace of shit :applause:.

So you're saying you do need a mirror to see your cawk? Maybe more than one mirror even? Do you have a room dedicated to that, where you walk in and multiple mirrors align so that you can check your junk out?, you know make sure your testicles are still there and all that?

I'm an actual doctor and obesity, smoking, and alcohol don't bother me one bit.

The true outrage is people who shouldn't be having kids who have multiple kids and people who are selfish enough to have more than 2 or 3 children. That's a much larger threat to society, and more importantly, the environment.
