Would you leave your wife if she got fat?

Urgh, so many fat people use that excuse. It's nauseating.

Tis funny - the fillm adaptation of Lord of the Flies (the black and White version) was on last night - it was shot in the 60s - the majority of the cast were of a healthy weight and the boy known as 'piggy' was a bit fatter. I was thinking that, by today's standards, he wouldn't even be considered that fat rather there would be a fair few in his class at school that size and a handful of significantly larger kids. I doubt 'medical problems' that might cause obesity have increased that much since the 60s though I'd be fairly sure that a greater prevalence of crap food and crap parents is to blame for the significant increase in fat kids today.

And the majority of people have little understanding of either metabolic diseases or mental health diseases and ascribe people's overweight bodies to lifestyle choices they could oh so easily escape from.

Which is never the case.

My guess is that kwerk has just been dumped for being a bit of a porker. As well as being utterly moronic and borderline retarded, obviously.

You're saying that all fat people are mentally or physically ill?:confused:

Suuuure. Fatties are always fatties because of metabolic diseases and mental problems.


LOL

It's not what they think, it's what I've seen.
I've worked with 1000s of people over the years and seen ex colleagues who are as thin as rails but never stopped eating.
And they weren't eating fruit either.
I also know people who put pint after pint away several days a week and not an ounce of fat or exercise.
Now I defy you to tell me you don't know people like that.

Of course, all I said was people pin it purely on lifestyle choices which I was challenging.

There are many cases where people are just gluttons, you're correct. But can lead to obesity (over accumulation of fat) which inherently increases the chances of having adverse affect on your health. I.e. metabolic diseases, diabetes etc.

Which in a number of cases leads to depression or they develop addictions to certain foods, such as cola because of caffeine. It truly isn't as black and white I agree.

I challenged the fatties are fatties because all they do is eat aspect of the discussion.
