Overweight people and summer

Aids By Google

What is the story with over weight people deciding to wear next to nothing this year? Blokes with their bellies hanging out. Girls with multi muffins going on.

Is it time to say showing off your flab is not OK in the same way saying too skinny is not OK?

I blame the media for making people think it is OK to be overweight. They were once saying it was OK to be skinny!

It is not plesant to look at but neither is loads of stuff, should ugly people wear a bucket, should you stay in if you have a cold sore. People get hot and wear less clothes, I really dont see why it should bother anyone.

Your ignorance of the subject pretty much invalidates everything you say.
There can be any number of factors, such as depression, anxiety, environmental factors like being trained by parents what foods to eat, portion control, habit, working in an office, etc, etc.

Sorry to upset you by saying people are able to control their weight. It's not that difficult to get your calorific intake below your requirements. For the vast majority they just aren't motivated or don't care enough. Sure give them a diminished agency then they can blame something other themselves.

What made you think that it's not ok to flaunt that sort of body was the media itself. I personally believe that if people are happy with they're body, let them do what they like, if I don't like what i see, I'LL LOOK THE OTHER DIRECTION.

So if I pay €10 into a game of poker I am now in serious financial debt?

I'm surprised you don't get the analogy.
There's plenty of people who gamble without serious problem, there's plenty of people who eat lots without problem.
The OP is targeting those with problems.
So, would you start a thread on your own forum attacking those who owe more then say €5000 ?

You'll have to explain yourself there, and that's going to be tough without breaking the personal abuse rules.

Are you trying to argue that overweight people don't have agency? They may not choose it directly, but they do choose either being lazy or overeating over keeping in shape.

I have no right to lecture people on how to quit smoking as I've never smoked before, please tell us your qualifications to lecture on this subject?

No, they're called Americans, there's a difference.

Chefs can make the best of food in the world, are you saying that they are completely immune from gaining weight because they avoid junk food ?

I agree totally.

Being judgemental and condescending is totally within your own control.

For most people they have no excuse for being fat, it is all about eating the right foods and exercise.
It is only a small minority that are overweight due to medical conditions.

I wouldn't mind people being fat except I do have a concern for their health as it raises the risks of cancers, heart disease and diabetes.

How do you get a fat girl into bed?

Piece of cake!

Stand up all fat men
Stand up straight
Stand up because no chair can hold your weight
If God created us to be so big
That's proof
He must be a big fat pig

God's really flabby with an ass so wide
His arms look like pillows with cake mix inside
God's man boobs are flabby and they hurt when he jogs
And the back of God's neck looks like a pack of hot dogs.

So do you agree that people who gamble too much make a conscious decision with every single hand of poker to get themselves into serious financial debt ?

As if confidence wasn't low enough thinking I look disgusting anyway it's nice to know that you think so too.

Fat men aren't fat only fat women are fat.

If it's acceptable for skinny people and/or normal sized people to show a little bit of skin when it's hot out, then so should over sized. Everyone gets hot.

I agree it's not the most attractive thing to look at though.

I blame people who cannot be happy with themselves and so look outward to criticise others even more harshly.

If someone is doing no harm to yourself or others, leave them be.

No, you didn't.

I just love challenging immature attitudes.
And you still haven't defended your opinions in any coherent manner.

If people want to show off their bodies, no matter what size they are, then they probably have more self confidence/lack of self consciousness than you have.

You're naturally reacting to this, by questioning why they can feel this way while you can't.

What is a decent lifestyle ?
Is there some template which all must adhere too ?
Let me guess, it's a book for only €15.99 on Amazon somewhere ?

Evolution would've naturally deselected fat people if it was truly bad.
In fact, the potato famine may naturally selected fat people to survive because they had either fat reserves or a slower metabolism.

If everyone in the world were as thin as people expect them to be, then a short food shortage of say 10 days would wipe out most of the population.

There is a reason why people come in all shapes and sizes.
The reason is that nature has wiped out all those who are standardised.

Overweight people overheat faster. FACT

The fatter you are the less you want to wear when it gets warm. FACT
