We gotta lot of fatties in this country.

Of course, can't afford to eat healthy or a gym membership, or even time to jog around the block.

fucking fatties. stop eating shit and go exercise. You are fucking with our health insurance premiums.

Bunch of fatties we should point and laugh at them till they lose weight

How to lose weight if you are a fat sack of shit:

Eat less food than you currently are until you consistently lose 1lb/week

Hunger is literally fat leaving the body.

I would be for paying for all obese americans getting gastric bypass or lap band surgery

Are those numbers based purely on BMI? If so that's crap because you can be fit and lean and still be considered "obese" because of your BMI because you have more muscle mass

Eating healthy is cheaper... how pricey is chicken, rice and broccoli?

Eating healthy at a restaurant is expensive

And we talk about the failing health care system - how much responsibility does each individual have to lessen the burden on the system?

This is a fucking video

These are not efficient means of losing weight. It's mostly just about not stuffing your face full of food.
---

You guys can't honestly think that a large percentage of the population living incredibly unhealthy lifestyles isn't significantly contributing to the health care system problem

i think it says a lot about america and not necessarily so much about the individual if it's almost half of us

It's the individual problems adding up to a large problem

The healthcare thing is a garbage excuse people say. We just like shitting on fat people.

This is the most tired argument that people always wheel out when these stats are published. BMI is not "crap" for this purpose; it's actually the most appropriate application of BMI data to count it across a large group of people. At a population level, the people you're talking about make a tiny proportion of the population.

No, it's not just a tiny proportion of the population. Literally every tall person and every short person will get inaccurate results from BMI

I think moreover any sensible person would be able to see that this is just a way that people make themselves feel better about themselves.

You can pretend like you are helping them and society by shaming them, but it's really not an effective way to encourage behavioral change in the first place, so that excuse is just bullshit.

We get it, you may be a failure in all other aspects of your life, but at least you're not a fatty. That makes you feel better. But perhaps you should find more constructive forms of cognitive reappraisal.

We better rush to force a single payer healthcare system through the legal system, so that we can all enjoy being weighed down by the exorbitant costs of trying to care for ~135,000,000 obese people.

They should just tax everyone who is overweight. the more obese you are, the higher your taxes

Sorry, but this is what urban sprawl, sugar subsidies and 12-hour shifts at the office gets ya.

No, it's what a lack of discipline and self-respect gets ya. Why do you think fatties are championing nonsense like "healthy at every size" instead of putting down the damned donuts and going for a walk?

40% obese but the number for overweight has to be like 95%, meaning there are 3% in shape and 2% malnourished.

do you ever not talk out of your ass you insane reject

I mean it's been proven that fat shaming only makes people fatter, either because eating gives them a sense of relief or they're just going to stuff their mouths just to stick it at you.

The only thing I can't accept about the fat acceptance movement however is when they try to pretend that being overweight/obese is somehow "healthy". I'm sorry, but just because you don't like or can't seem to lose weight doesn't mean you change a definition of a word.

+1

There's some really overweight guys I work with who just sit at their desks and eat large plates of food at lunch. Lots of people make time to go for walks or go to the gym downstairs to get some exercise.

What if we're successful in almost all aspects of life and still make fun of fat people?

What then, fatty?

It's not about helping them, or acting like I am. I give them shit because I hate them for being wasteful, causing responsible people problems, and being disgusting to look at. If they were like me, and other responsible adults, the world would be a better place. Don't encourage this bullshit or irresponsibility.

What about those who are really successful in other aspects of life, such as work, social, etc. Weight and food is just their worst area of life

Then they should fix their problem. There is never an excuse to not exercise and eat right.

Oh for sure. I don't say that in an attempt to give them an excuse.

My point was that you said they should be like you and others responsible adults.
Being successful in your weight and health aren't the only measures for being responsible. Everyone should strive to be better in all aspects of their life, but don't act as if not being overweight makes you better. There are probably lots of overweight people who are much more successful in many other aspects of their lives than you and me.

Other parts of their life aren't relevant to this discussion. By being overweight, you are simply lazy and undisciplined. You'll also notice a major tendency for overweight people to be less reliable, successful, and intelligent as compared to those of us who can put down the cheeseburger and go for a jog.

And what's this based on?

Being overweight means you're lazy or bad in terms of health and fitness. But are they overall lazy in life? I'd have to disagree with you there.

if this is your attempt to do something, you are as stupid as they are
