No, just that there are companies trying to make a profit.

As for the "cure", it's more interesting that they've found a "virus" that you can catch "... like the common cold" that can cause obesity. I woke up this morning and found I was 18 stone, I blame that little bollix at the KFC counter on Friday night, I bet I caught it from him!

of course they will, mary needs a life time supply, she is hardly going to pay for it herself

she is trying to MAKE money, not spend it

I'd love to see a comparison of how many people have this 'virus' and exercise + have a healthy diet against how many have this 'virus' and don't exercise + eat sh1te.

Results would be interesting I'd say. Also, the weight gain only last 3 months before the body builds up a resistance towards it, so I'd like to hear the excuses after that

Damn fatties and their laziness.

Not all fatties are lazy and not all lazies are fat. It's just a happy coincidence that I am both.

That sounds like a load of hooey to me. A virus that whisks around your body making all the fat cells multiply?

Fat doesn't have cells so it can't multiply on it's own.

The author of the report could be both a fatty and a hypocondriac so the fat on his body could only be the fault of a fantastic disease and not all those burgers.

Apparently the drug is going to be as cheap as €1 per tab or so, i don't see the need for VHI to cover. And in the long run it would be cheaper for the economy....

Heres a cure for fatness:

Put the f00king chips down and get off the internet.

oh yeah, and yure ma

I've still never understood why being overweight/obese/etc. is some kind of issue or problem for OTHER people?

I'm fat. Let me deal with that. You worry about your own problems

Depression and some kind of avoidant/social anxiety disorder mean i rarely ever leave the house, and when i do, i dread the thoughts of it, so you don't have to look at me in particular. Although otherwise, your point, whilst ineffective and rather irrelevant, is comical at best.

Here we go.. Another 'cure'.. Pleeeease..

it's all just a load of rich creamery butter..

Diva242 · 26-01-2009 11:03AM

Exactly - no pill is worth substituting diet and exercise for. It's all just a matter of mind over matter and will power!!

A virus that whisks around your body and by nothing but pure coencidence, it happens to look like a Big Mac...

Get the hell to the gym you !!

Pills to make you slim are just a fad, companies make to much money making people fat, and them selling them fad diets to " cure " there problem.

26-01-2009 11:31AM

But if you cure them all.....who I am going to take advantage of?

AnonoBoy · 26-01-2009 11:38AM

Ah we all know how this will end. The drug will have unforeseen side effects which will cause all the fatties to initially lose weight but then to develop a horrible craving for human flesh and the weight will pile back on. So we'll have a fat zombie apocalypse.

At least Romero fans will be happy cause there ain't no way fat zombies will run after you - it'll be back to the slow slow stumbling zombies that we all know and love!

Overblood · 26-01-2009 11:59AM

Off to the Zombie Survival forum to prepare!

Dudess · 26-01-2009 12:12PM

Has to be a load of twaddle. And it further compounds the issue of a lot of overweight people not taking responsibility for themselves.

Because some people bully others to make them feel better about themselves. Anyone who's happy in themselves would view the lifestyle of a very overweight person as terribly unhealthy and possibly disgusting, but they wouldn't hate the person.

Now i am not a scientist, nor a dietician nor a doctor, but something about this smells like total bull****.

I have some very simple facts about how the human body works that should call into question the findings of this study and the aims of the people behind it.

1) You can't get fat without calories. Sounds harsh, but it's true. To store fat, you need to ingest more calories than you actually use. To store a lot of fat you need to do this over a long period of time, everyday. Your body will store excess energy in the form of adipose ( fat ). This will then be stored in fat cells. I understand that people put on weight due to medication, illness etc etc but by and large this will be down to other reactions within the body, not down to the storing of actual fat in the early stages.

2) A fat cell, does not always mean fat. The study indicates that the number of "fat cells" will multiply, what the study or the article fails to tell us is that fat cells are always present in the body. Fat cell means a cell that has the purpose of storing fat if fat is present. It does not mean the currently used fat cells will multiply and be full of fat. The article implies that if someone who is 25 pounds of fat over weight caught this "virus" then they risk adding even more weight through no action of their own. This is bull****. I can think of no medical reason why a virus would be able to replicate a highly calorie dense material like adipose from thin air within the human body.

All in all, i am calling this bollix, or at the very most a complete mismash of actual study results designed to once again remove the responsibility that people have for themselves and offer then yet another quick fix option that will do very little to actually help with their health.

cure for the fattys
