Obesity

[Bad Wolf]

Would you say being gay is curable?

No, because you are born that way and it doesn't need to be cured.

Would you say to someone with a family history of suicides, to just buck up? If you just stop feeling sorry for yourself everything will be ok?

Depression is far more than just feeling down. Its all about the pleasure pathway in the brain and dopamine receptors, I would go into more detail but I don't want to butcher it and you probably wouldn't understand it either.

What makes people born into a family history of obesity any different?

Because obesity is learned, its a simple equation, if you eat more calories than you burn every day, you are going to get fat.

Don't you get the trigger for eating and the signal to stop eating all come from the same place that those who claim the were born gay, and those who are prone to depression and suicidal thoughts orginate their predispositions from?

No you don't, obesity is simply related to behaviour, homosexuality and depression come from differences in brain chemistry.

Are all of you so oblivious and blind that you can put these two things together on your own without a doctor

Trust you to think you know better than a doctor

oz or oprah telling you to think this way?

I don't believe i've ever watched her show.

I'm no oprah, but for me, if the same thinking organ who's signles and desires are so strong as to make one man lust after another man. despite supposedly a hundred trillion years of monkey loving evolution telling him otherwise.. But, can't help himself looking for another dude ... This is somehow ok..

Yes, why would it not be?

Or if this thinking organ tells us that yes we have everything, and yes we maybe an award winning actor, but life is not worth living even though you have captivated a whole nation full of people in film and on tv, that this too is beyond the control of the person who has these thoughts...

You are such a biggot. The ignorance here is astounding. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. You have no idea how the brain works, you have no idea about the chemicals and the reactions that take place. Once again you biggot. Why don't you actually investigate the subject and read the material before you go spouting off your prejudiced bullshit.

But, for the person like al roker and oprah who's brains are hard wired for high caloric I takes, who try and fail, and fail and fail to keep the weight off, are somehow less than socially acceptable?

I commend people who try to lose weight, but if they can't, then they aren't trying hard enough. Everyone can lose weight and keep it off. Its about how determined you are.

These two were accepted, but what of everyone else hard wired that way? Are you saying it is ok to have certain uncontrollable desires and not others? Where is this line drawn? Who draws it?

You have no idea what you are talking about again. 'hard wired' tell me, what do you actually think that means?

Oh and now your trying to spin that we find homosexuality acceptable so we should also find obesity acceptable? No.
Obesity is harmful. It is incredibly unhealthy. It costs billions to treat obesity related diseases.
Homosexuality on the other hand, does absolutely no harm to anyone at all ever.
