So should they get charged for a double dose?

Careful. Mods consider stuff like this to be fat shaming and against the rules of the site.

Yet another health issue overweight people will be smacked with.

The number of overweight people that complain to me about the unbearable back pain in my life. I'm very close to saying directly "you need to lose weight", but that's taboo and insulting, unlike telling a smoker to quit.

If your back hurts at every second of every day and your knees are basically useless, it takes as much effort for you to walk across the room as it does an athlete to run across a football field, your attractiveness is one third of what it should be, you're likely to die 10-20 years younger, you might want to consider eating some rice and potatoes instead and find another outlet for negative emotions.

Fuck all kinds of weird fad diets and workouts. Just eat vegetables and supplemental vitamins.

Not 'Fat' shaming at all...just a legit report on the state of vaccines for the Pandemic.

So you're saying obese folk have health issues? More news at 10.

More reasons for them to not be disgustingly fat.

I've been baited into two suspensions responding to this kind of shit. Stop talking about it.

Even that's bordering on pointless - what you actually need to do is exercise and burn more calories than you take in.

Building muscle means higher metabolism and a greater capacity to do things in general, which will tend to alleviate or solve the other problems in and of itself. The main cause of most overweight-related issues in modern society is the fact that we've all sort of fallen into sedentary lifestyles.

Time to lose weight and put the food down chubbers, it will save your life as the vaccine may be useless with all that blubber.

Basically all of that applies to me, aside from last part, and I'm underweight.

Another way for them to discriminate against us chubbies. First they close K-Mart, which was the best place for plus-sized clothes, now this. Ug!

nothing wrong with telling fat people they are fat.

not doing so makes them think it's ok

Idk, I have a problem with that though.

It's much easier to just not eat than to go out and exercise. Regular exercise is like the highest level of self control, something overweight people typically don't have, and you just don't have to do that to be a healthy weight. People go to the gym and just give up (like almost everyone does when they go to the gym) and then give up on losing weight. It's just waay more efficient to not eat as much.

You burn 100 calories for every mile you run. That's just a silly way to lose weight. Enforcing that as the way to lose weight is probably going to reult in more obesity because of how inefficient and hard it is, it scares people away.

Most people have jobs they go to on top of it all and don't want to go subject their bodies to more physical labor after working for 8 hours straight. Also, most fat people I know work really hard physically at their jobs. Harder than I do, they have to carry around more weight.

I'm not a fat guy, I never have been, but if I eat too many snacks I start to get a belly. All I have to do is skip a meal if I'm ever feeling too bloated and it just goes away by itself, no working out needed.

Going to the gym to lose weight is like doing yardwork with a pair of tweezers. You're going to lose like 100 calories there. Then you're going to want to eat more afterwards, more than 100 calories. The only way isn't really a diet, it's just eating less than you were previously, which was too much, and having your body get used to eating less food.

well they can actually do something about it then.

either work on losing weight, or don't let it bother them

they will do neither, just campaign that the word "fat" is no longer politically correct. Next thing you know, fatty acid will no longer exist in chemistry and will be called plus-sized acid

You know what? I am sure we could convince the feminists or sjw's to do something this stupid if we actually bothered to. Claim that fatty acid is something, something the patriarchy.
