Seriously, how is anyone dumb enough to be fat?

Fat people = Sexier than skinny people.

Are you a skinny person? If so, sorry.

It's not really that simple when it comes to girls.

Fat girls usually have
Harder pounding, bigger tits, more slappable ass.
On their side.
Skinny girls have
More sex positions that can be done with more comfort and just in general more easily lift able and grabable.
On their side.
On the other hand you could be a fat girl with small tits and a flat ass but then you could just be talented or something.

Being obese isn't really that bad.

Yes it is! You don't think diabetes, stroke, heart disease and cancer is bad? Let me guess you'd rather wait for these things to happen then to take preventative action? Furthermore what if you're Indian or Pakistani or other South Asian or African? You do realize that Type 2 Diabetes - which doctors say is 100% preventable - is now an epidemic in India and South Asia?

Technically I've heard lot's of health muscular people are obese.

Well then you've heard wrong. The definitions of underweight, overweight and obese is based on body fat percentage.

And I'm pretty sure food companies try and consumers crave their foods. Coca cola would probably still put cocaine in their ingredients if it was still legal.

The food industry isn't some giant conspiracy you know, it's just a bunch of capitalist companies in a highly competitive environment trying to get consumers to purchase their convenience foods - snack, junk or healthy.

Sounds like you are getting a bit hysterical Daniel.

Calm down, breathe slowly and fully and then go for a run.

Well, Kichi, let's see what WHO has to say on this shall we? After all they are the authoritah on the issue...

paulpablo: Being obese isn't really that bad.
WHO: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults overweight - at least 300 million of them clinically obese - and is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability.
WHO: The sheer scale of the obesity and diabetes epidemics require responses at a population level, as well as by individuals. Approaches based only on personal education to promote behaviour change are unlikely to succeed in an environment where there are plentiful inducements to engage in opposing behaviours. Personal education must be supported by appropriate changes to the broader environment, such as transportation, urban design, advertising and food pricing.

I don't agree with their conclusion, pricing is not the way out of it and it hasn't worked for smokers (check here we a slightly higher smoking rate than America despite a pack here being ~$18 and a pack in the US being ~$5), and in fact the worrying thing is that it's literally taxing our poor. My brother's a pack a day smoker, he also earns less than $700/week so that ~$126/week represents about 1/5th of his entire income, and the situation is the same for countless others. The problem isn't price, the problem is people do not believe that a dangerous lifestyle will result in unwanted consequences, most have the view paulpablo has which is "I'd have to be unlucky to have health consequences from my lifestyle" - which is total bullshit.

The main contributor to getting Type 2 Diabetes is high visceral fat; although other contributors also linked to overweight and obesity also play a role. This is the reason why there's an epidemic especially in India, South Asia and Africa, it's because these people generally have body types that build more visceral fat when they're just a bit overweight. I did go over this before - I believe myself to be at risk because there's a family history of diabetes; and a family history is to do with genetics and specifically with the growth of that visceral fat - that's what puts certain people at high risk.

Think about the term epidemic and what it means, the mental images that it conjures up - widespread catastrophic disease plaguing society. Overweight, Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes are preventable. But then this goes back to the entire topic - why prevent disease if you already firmly believe it won't be happening to you?

What... The World Health Organisation that suddenly decided that they would move the goal posts so that 50% of the world population are now obese or overweight and in need of pharmaceutical intervention?

That WHO?
