    Its his own fault, and also the fault of whoever brings his food.

    I think that if I gave my honest opinion on this I'd be arrested.....

    Interesting question, hmmmm it's along the lines of "do you see animals wearing glasses in the wild", they're similar because both questions are retarded.

    Whales.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Theres a obese pidgeon that waddles around my yard everyday. Built like a tank he is. Too much high quality bird seed of late, hes still technically wild though..........

    Whales.

    They are proportionite to their size.

    Unlike fat people who are disportionate to their size.

    All caused my portions not appropriate to the need to survive.
    What the fcuk did I type.

    No its not a retarded question.

    Animals in the wild eat only as much as they have to or as much as they get and they're a lot more active. They know how important food is towards their sustenance. They eat when they feel hungry and drink when they feel hungry. This way they don't 'over hunt' and over eat, maintaining the fine balance between predator and pray.

    Apart from some kings and few wealthy men, humans historically always only ate as much as they needed to and worked hard all day. This is because people knew the value of food back then. It was scarce and people had to work hard to grow it.

    Now the western society has gone into this spiral of excess where we just eat and eat till we can't fill ourselves with anymore food. This is a highly unnatural state for humans to be in. Which is why we're seeing so much of morbid obesity nowdays.

    If you go visit an african tribe, you won't find a single fat person among them. Its because they know the value of food.

    Food is one of the most important commodity in this world and its only because we have forgotten the value of food, we consume in so much excess and waste so much food while most of the world starves to death!

    Whales.
    They're not obese or fat. They're just big animals and quite a lot of other species depend on the whales. Every animal has its place in the ecosystem. Nature is very finely balanced. Its when you disrupt this balance that nature turns against you.

    It's his fault. He didn't wake up one morning weighing 70 stone; it was a gradual process that probably took many years of overeating and undermoving. Everybody in the world knows that eating too much makes you put on weight, and exercising makes you lose weight. He was fully aware of that too, I'll hazard a guess. Even if he wasn't, it would have become abundantly clear to him by the time he hit about 30 stone. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that eating McDonalds every day will turn you into a tub of lard. He didn't have to think "hey, maybe it's because I'm exercising too much -- maybe that's why I'm putting on weight!", because he didn't exercise. He just accepted it, or didn't have the will-power or strength of character to do anything about, change his eating habits, take up exercise, etc.

    I can understand that to an extent. I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds, but I'm pretty lazy and I like food. However, if it got to the point that I was actually obese, then I would have the sense to anticipate the problems associated with weight, and would make changes in my life. If I didn't, then I could only blame myself.

    Some people have slow metabolisms, or have thyroid problems or some sh*t like that. These might mean that they are more prone to putting on weight than others. Fair enough. That just means that they have to be more conscious of their eating and exercising. It might take a bit more effort than for the average person, but that's just how it goes. If a diabetic doesn't bother taking their insulin, then the consequences are their own doing. Same deal with the fat c*nts.

    If animals in the wild had 24hr access to fatty foods, they would be fat.

    If animals in the wild had poor eyesight and 24hr access to opticians they would wear glasses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    Even worse than the fatty himself is the fatty enabler. Your son lies in bed weighing 70 stone with weeping bedsores, wearing a nappy and begging for pizza and you give in?
    Stupid low IQer.

    They do have 24hr access to food.
    The herbivores have the meadows which they can feed on all day.
    The carnivores have plenty of prey as well. If any predator wanted, it could go on a killing spree and instead of killing just one animal at a time, kill 5 or 6 of them and gouge on all the food they just got. This happens at times. Usually when you let an animal which was caged or living a pet, let our in the wild. The animal usually ends up going on a killing spree and ends up with more food than it can eat.

    But you don't see this happening in the wild. Animals only eat as much as they need to. Its only pets who get obese because they're overfed by their owners.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    I think his enabler or supplier should be charged, there is no way he can make food for himself so who ever is bringing him that much deserved a whooping.

    Herbivorious food is not fatty. Carnivorious food requires a lot of work in the catching of.
    If they had contant access to fatty burgers and such, they would be fat. Animals eat if there is food there. Why would they be concerned with their weight?

    Its not about them being concerned with their weight. Its how nature is balanced. Every animal gets just the amount of food necessary for it to survive. So there's enough food for everyone and the prey population isn't wiped out either. After a lion or tiger has had a big meal, it won't hunt for a few days. Why is that? If it was greedy by nature, it could go for another hunt the very next day and get more food for itself. But they don't. They only hunt when they start feeling hungry.

    And it still doesn't give an excuse for people to overeat when the rest of the world is starving to death.

    There was a thread here a while back saying we should let the poor people die as there isn't enough food for everyone to go around. Well, yeah, let the poor die so that we can keep feeding obese people like these!!

    Watching it now, have to say, i feel pretty sorry for the guy ...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Well in all fairness if his mother is that weak willed, it's just as well he's a gutton he could have grown up to be the type of scumbag that was a junkie/dealer and making other's people's lives a miser rather then just his and hers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Susie_Q


    I'm not watching the show but I saw the ad where it said he eats 20,000 calories a day. Who is bringing him this vast amount of food??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms

    No, you're wrong. Myopia is a medical condition/defect, an animal with impaired eyesight would wear glasses if it had both the intellectual capacity to realise that wearing glasses would relieve the impairment and opposable thumbs to produce a pair of spectacles, but they don't and consequently have to live with occluded vision should it arise.

    'Do you see obese wild animals?' is the perfect issue to raise here. No, you don't because an animal eats enough to subsist as any extra poundage makes them more susceptible to predation. If man were not so civilised, obesity would be a non-issue but the fact is that there are countless people in western civilisation who are eating far more than needed to survive.

    People may become obese due to a underlying condition but for the most part it's cause by two things: lack of exercise and improper diet. This man's obesity is self-imposed and as a result, is faced with a whole plethora of medical complications.

    I was getting mixed up with another programme on living, just looking at the ch 4 one now. He is being cared for by the state, he is 46 years old.

    He is getting for breakfast for example 4 sausages, a whole pack of bacon, eggs etc

    All paid by the state, 120 grand a year for his care!

    Because they are in rural areas and there isn't much demand for milk and bread after 6pm.

    I don't know... why are you so sharp. I love Cork wit. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭VinnyTGM


    Its his own fault, he is a burden to the state, why is it so hard to understand STOP EATING. 20000 calorie's a day is ****ing ridiculous, thats enough to feed 8 normal people.
    Whatever he gets he deserves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    Did anyone see him eating white bread!! Surely he should be eating brown, his carer is isn't even trying.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I'd hazard a guess he was fed a lot of crap at home when he was too young to understand the implications, so I wouldn't deem him entirely at fault for the condition he's in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    At least he can store personal items like his wallet, car keys, runners, laptop etc in his considerably large fleshy folds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭littlefriend


    God love him, what a life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭joe stodge


    i watched that tonight and i'm sure i heard him say,

    "its not my fault i'm this big if they would have given me the operation 20 stone ago i wouldnt be having this problem now"

    to me it seems like he has always expected someone else to do something about his weight and is blaming the nhs for him being 56 stone.

    No reason to believe they are.

    When we were still hunter-gatherer types, high-caloric fatty and sugary foods would have been relatively scarce, so being predisposed towards craving and binging on them was actually beneficial to our survival.

    Thing, is, major evolutionary changes happen over millions of years whilst human technology moves much more rapidly. With fatty foods being in plentiful supply, it's no longer an advantage to desire them over healthier fare. But our bodies don't know this.

    on a serious less joking note i think there are people that cant help themselves and need help but to get that size in the first place is ridiculous.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Couldnt believe it meself. 100k a year to pay for himself and his servant so he can spend his days eating like Henry VIII and watching tv.

    Im thinking of buyin a sumo suit and heading to the English midlands to see if I cant get a piece of this action!

    While still consuming in excess of 20,000 calories per day (up to 30,000 some days!) Though he obviously has psychological problems so it's not as simple as just saying he's a fat glutton.

    But you have to wonder how people like him can afford to eat so much? I was watching a similiar show about a hugely obese guy in the US and his monthly food costs were insane, I can't remember the figure but it was multiples of what the average person would spend on food, and included gigantic quantities of takeaways on top of his supermarket shopping. Needless to say he didn't have a job.
