This is the white elephant in the room. The logic circuit that "attractive" == "healthy" and "unattractive" == "slovenly/lazy/unhealthy".

I think its because people have very very sick and wrong preconceptions about other people. Granted, an obese person is probably obese because they don't do anything and eat bad food. A morbidly obese person... well... yeah. Like said above, many heavy weight boxers and wrestlers can be considered fat, and they are also…

We crossed streams then. I am not referring to govt or agencies educating. I'm referring to people doing it on their own. There is a large distinction between being overweight, and being 300 lbs which would for most people be not just obese, but morbidly obese. I'm 220 lbs. My ideal weight is 205 lbs for my height. I am…

I think unless you are truly brain dead you already know the answer to this question. I don't suspect you to be brain dead. Negative comments slung at someone for being fat make them feel sub-human. Excessive or prolonged negative comments are most destructive. Many of the people who "help" others by telling them that…

That's cool. If a person who is fat asks you to educate them, by all means do so. If you post the dangers of being fat on a public message board or forum, that's awesome. It's being done in a constructive manner that doesn't make a person feel like a sub-member of the species.

The point of that being people who feel it's their business to tell other people how to live. It doesn't matter if they have scientific study behind them or a book of fairy tales.

I guess I can distil my thought process on the matter as such: If you are against "fat acceptance" because they are unhealthy and that is why you feel you need to tell fat people they are unhealthy "for their own good"... that's fine unless: You know smokers and you don't harp on them about quitting smoking. Because…

I have met very very few smokers that don't know that smoking is bad for you. I have met very very few fat people that don't know that being fat is bad for you. I have met many people that feel the need to share with fat people that they are disgusting and that they are unhealthy. If we're going to crusade against the fat…

You're such a pretty princess. I'm glad that you thought I was talking about you (I didn't read the thread I jumped in to the end to discuss fat acceptance and fat bashing which are often tied hand in hand). Informing a fat person that their life choices are unhealthy is pretty noble of you. I'm sure that they had no idea.

I'm all for stupid people intolerance. If your IQ doesn't meet a certain prerequisite, I think you should be bashed and abused repeatedly. I'm also for political intolerance. If you blindly follow a political party, I think you should be bashed and abused repeatedly. I mean if its ok to bash and abuse fat people for being…

I am not reading the entire thread so if this is repeated somewhere my apolgies. People get an illusion that diet sodas are ok because they have 0 calories. This is false. Diet sodas mimic something sweet. This causes the body to produce insulin. This makes it easier for anything else you consume to immediately be stored…

Given the choice between not being able to gain weight, and not being able to lose weight, I'd choose not being able to gain weight. You at least are not socially ostracized for being thin ;)

what a horrible problem to have {sarcasm} lol.

what's the best way to be creepy? Be unattractive and hit on someone.

An inspiring and well thought out thread that will benefit us all. {applause}

Mine always makes my butt look too big. Oh jethuth...

Read "Rise of the Governor" to find out more about his back story. I ordered it off of Amazon. Was very good.

No that's one of the main characters from the comic. It's a woman. The guy who chopped his hand off in season 1 is not a character from the comic, he's TV-only. I recommend reading the comic series. It's great.

I really give less than a damn about what anyone else does in their personal lives. I myself am not into sharing my partner with others so I myself will not be participating in polygamy.

5x a week. 4-5 miles a run except one is typically only three miles.

I could write a book with the nasty, hate filled, evil trash thrown my way for being fat. People hate typically because they hurt. It's not justifiable by any means. But to get to the point of hurting where it turns to hating on someone or a type of people, one typically experiences a level of humiliation, embarassement…

I do and I was fortunate enough to get to meet her and we're now a few weeks from getting to be together again. <3

Dating sites are ****. That's just my own thought and opinion. Good luck.

My response is in to this entire thread where people are using condescending terms towards each other and treating each other like morons for not following their own train of thought. It really isn't all about you. My original reply was a neutral reply before things started getting "oh you're so stupid".
-
I just love how humans always think that those that don't adhere to their lifestyle or way of thought are morons. Carry on.

Interesting article. I am not a fan of the no carb way of life. I've tried it. I can't keep my activity levels as high when I'm purposely eating no carbs. What makes us ill and fat IMO is eating too many carbs. Pounding down beers and pizza, donuts and sodas... we overload with carbs. My daily goal as prescribed to me by a…

What I really find sexy is a lady that really knows how to make me a good sandwich. =) lmao

Another awesome and inciteful thread full of great information. Thanks!
