    They're being lambasted because they're grotesque. All these social movements to glorify obesity on social media is ridiculous. The overwhelming majority of fatties are fat because they are lazy and stuff their faces

    no you wouldn't. being overweight is quite horrible. there is literally only one downside to being normal sized, you get cold easier. that's it, the one and only. every other aspect of life is improved dramatically.

    this is why people who try to promote obesity as an acceptable lifestyle choice are ****ing *****.

    I don't understand why people (especially on After Hours, for some reason) get so angry at those who have a predisposition towards gaining weight.

    It's one thing getting angry at people who are overweight. I don't think many do tbh

    It's quite another to get angry at this whole new phenomenon of normalising obesity, and the push to 'embrace' it within society.

    The people with that agenda can go and fcuk themselves. They're promoting an extremely unhealthy lifestyle, which costs us all, and at the same time get annoyed and offended whenever they're called out for doing it.

    No seriously, I would hate nothing more than to be that unpleasant and ignorant.

    To me, it looks more like a response to the sort of ignorant vitriol you see on threads like this.

    Are the Majority of Fat People Fat from an Illness or actual from over eating ? I will give one a clue its not the first one.

    To be fair, there is nothing ignorant about calling a spade a spade.

    The vitriol I agree is unwarranted.

    In this day and age, where anorexic images and promotion are censored, why shouldn't obesity?

    It's not like it's a victim-less crime, in fairness. It will put huge pressure on the health system if something's not done about it.

    How so? Dying of a heart attack is quick and cheap compared to dying of cancer.

    what about diabetes? heart disease that kills slowly? amputations? gastric surgery? nursing care for people too fat to wipe themselves? subsidised or state provided motorised scooters? the never ending doctors visits of people too stupid to realise they feel like **** because they have enough bodyfat to do 5 normal people?

    and seriously, cancer is a weird one to pick. smokers get so much **** the government wont even let them practice indoors or even in their cars soon enough most likely

    not to mention the fact that obesity is linked to ****ing shedloads of cancers (I totally mentioned it)

    You can't blame someone for getting cancer (bar those related to smoking)

    You can blame someone for being a fat fcuk

    So IMO, cancer care and fat fcuk care are incomparable. If the state shelled out a million quid to attempt to cure someone of cancer, I dont see the problem. If they did the same for some fatties obesity related illness, that's a different story.

    Obesity is one of the main causes of cancer. Let alone the array of other life-long illnesses like diabetes, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, depression etc.

    Why do you feel the need to use that kind of language when talking about overweight people?

    I have seen extremely obese people in McDonalds feeding extremely fat kids McDonalds who intern are giving their extremely obese baby chicken nuggets and coke. Why is it not considered some form of abuse.

    Living with diabetes doesn't come cheap. 381 million people wordwide suffer from diabetes, the overwhelming majority of those cases are Type II. In Ireland alone, between 2005 and 2015 there has been an increase of 52,800 people diagnosed with diabetes, bringing the number to 193,944 in total. It's not quick and it's not cheap.
