Current Events > fat people are only fat because they eat like shit

(+) Yeah! (+)

I work in a grocery store and almost every obese person buys nothing but shit. What you would buy for a party is what they buy for everyday food.

Naw man it's their genetics. Ignore the cart full of soda, sweets and frozen foods

Exercise too.

it's also because they're lazy

Actually, medication and certain conditions can add on the pounds, too.

They probably also don't do activities to burn calories like exercising and what not.

Most are. There's other circumstances that can help people becoming fat, but they're rare and most of the people saying they're in that 20% are bullshitting.

As a fat person, yeah this is pretty much true.

Okay I got 3 boxes of Coke, 10 bottles of Pepsi but leave that can of Sprite out, that ones for now.

Yes and no. One could argue their genetics cause them to be predisposed to gaining weight much easier than someone who is thin yet eats the same terrible food and doesn't exercise yet doesn't gain weight.

Or one could argue it's the food and it doesn't matter what the food does to other people--if the food makes you personally overweight it's your fault for eating it and/or living a sedentary lifestyle.

I mean, I'm not saying all fat people have medical or drugs that make them gain weight, I'm just saying it's wrong to say it's only caused by eating.

But shit can't eat anything because it's inanimate.

Yeah there are medical conditions which can cause weight gain but they are morbidly obese because they eat like shit. If you have those conditions and take care of your body you won't become hyper obese.

That's not true, and that doesn't cover the fact that medication can have that effect too.

Medicine can't magically create fat out of nothing. The percentage of the adult population who it is effectively impossible for them obesity to avoid due to genetics or medicine they need to take becoming obese is low. Unless you are mentally challenged, or largely immobile and at the mercy of caretakers/families providing for you there isn't much likelihood of a way you could legitimately say "This fat is not my fault and there was no way I could reasonably have avoided this"

Also the very idea of a "going on a diet" is absurdly stupid. You don't change your diet for a week. You change your lifestyle for life if you want to shed the pounds and keep them off.
---

You should submit your interesting observation to the New England Journal of Medicine. "Obesity can be solved by the obese eating less."

Fuckin' mind blowing observation brah. I'm sure hundreds of thousands of research oriented MDs and biomedical science PhDs have never thought of such a thing.

I didn't say it did. I'm saying that healthy eating habits can actually make you fat if you suffer from certain conditions or are on certain medications.

I agree. I'm not sure where you think I suggested anything about diets.

And fat people eat like shit for a wide range of reasons, not all of them corrected with a little bit of "gumption."

Hey, do you get paid to move those goal posts or is that just a passionate hobby of yours?

What did the topic say, "fat people are only fat because they eat like shit". Did they say obese? No. did they say "because they eat like shit and have other complications". No.

The fact is, someone can eat healthy, and still struggle with their weight if they are on certain kinds of medication or have certain conditions. I'm not excusing poor diet, I'm saying it's not always as simple as "eat healthy" when some medications contain steroids or some conditions cause you to pack on twice the weight from half the food.

Fat people are amazing paragons of health and beauty and we should all be so lucky to be like them.

That's the most obvious thing ever. Yet they still deny.

Some meds do make you fat, one big example of this is seroquel. Apparently, if you take seroquel, you end up becoming ravenous and you want to eat the entire grocery store.

But then again, you also have this:

I've been on Seroquel for almost 10 years. It can make you hungry, but it's not like you have the munchies or anything.

There is no 'condishun' that prevents you from losing weight, no medication that turns you into a fatty. If you are fat, that is completely and absolutely your own fault.

this, I figured by "fatty" yall meant obese since you could simply not work out and be pretty chub chub
---

Well he has a point, there's probably no one for whom it's "impossible" to lose weight

But there are some people that need a huge amount of effort and willpower to do so
---

If you have a mental or physical disability that prevents you from exercising or otherwise properly taking care of yourself, you get a pass. Otherwise you have no one to blame but yourself.

Metabolism isn't a magical set number that you're born with and cannot change no matter what. There is no condition or medication that is going to stop you from burning around 2k calories a day just for the body's normal processes. If you eat reasonably you will not gain weight. If you add a little exercise on top of that, you will be in even better shape.

I'd look into it, but there are people who can't maintain a healthy weight due to health issues, so they have a really hard time gaining weight. I'm curious about whether or not that there is something for people who have a harder time losing.

Again, not excusing every fat person with these, but it's pretty obvious that saying, "all fat people are fat because they don't eat healthy" is factually wrong.

Calories in, calories out

ITT people defending greedy fatties who won't stop eating.

I used to say my that until I watched my mom gain weight eating egg whites and asparagus all the fucking time

I'm 6'2" and 160lbs, and I'm that skinny because my mom was incredibly skinny, now she is on heart medication and she's prob gained 50lbs.

Also some people don't actually eat a lot, they just drink a ton of beer. Still is being gluttonous
---

The vast, vast majority of overweight people are a combination of greedy (eat larger portions than they require), lazy (very little physical exercise) and ill disciplined (buying junk over healthy foods despite knowing the consequences). Very negative personality traits.

No medication can turn you into a fatty just magically no, but some do help in gaining weight. I had been skinny all my life and was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. My treatment consisted in high doses of corticosteroids and they made me hungry as fuck. I would eat a lot and still feel like I was starving when previously I could go an entire day without eating and not feel bad. I was on that treatment for six months and gained 20 lbs and had to work hard to lose them afterwards.
That was for six months only. Imagine people who have to take it everyday for years.

calories in, calories out, you can't explain that

i also do not exercise

Im actually a bit annoyed at those health freaks. I know plenty of vegetarian women who keeps saying they want to lose weight but they are fat anyways.

Just drink a can of soda everyday and get a mccy Ds and a subway each once a week and you'll be fine. I also get 3 Chinese a week cause we run a restaurant. Im not proper fat, just slightly chubby. But chineses are no where near as fatty as doner meat and pizzas. Especially pepperoni pizzas.

Proper fat people drink 2 liter bottles like its water. I know a fat guy who drank 6-8 cans of soda a day. I pretty much watched him develop diabetes. Felt bad for him when he got the news that day.

But hes the same asshole now. Just doesnt drink soda anymore.
