But that's not my point. The 300lb guy is not just 300llbs, he's probably eaten and shit thousands of lbs over his lifetime. And that food wasn't even life sustaining. It's just glutton. That food isn't keeping him alive or providing him nutrients, it's just making himself feel better for 5 minutes or so until he gets hungry again. I just don't like American's attitude towards food and worse it's self-congratulatory pat on the back for being a 300 lb. obese man and losing that weight. The accumulation of all that food that was totally unnecessary just pisses me off. I think evan's viewpoint is correct. In my opinion the accumulation of unnecessary food and the accumulation of unnecessary time wasted in games for example is the same. By your standards you should hate everyone who plays to much games too. Anyway, I actually agree that obesity is a bad thing, but I don't see why you have such a big problem with the idea of a show to help people lose weight and motivate viewers to lose weight as well (the fact that the show has limited success is another issue). The show is not an endorsement of obesity, no one wants to be obese. They're trying to show people that you can overcome the obesity problem. | ||

Well, at least this show promotes a healthy lifestyle by losing weight. Your show would lead to many heart attacks and lawsuits. | ||

That's actually how a lot of situations work. There isn't any congratulations when you used some forethought and prevented problems from popping up. | ||

eating too much and becoming fat is a vice that just happens to be visible and quantifiable. there's no reason to single it out and hating a person because of that one vice. everyone does bad shit. a lot of people want to stop doing it, but can't. it's good when they can. start with a viewpoint of compassion | ||

It's not like they have a choice for a large part of their life as family life is the only life for a long time. After that they are most likely hooked. | ||

Anyone here blaming them on lack of discipline and self control is full of shit, you probably have just as little of it. | ||

You're a little judgmental aren't you. What makes you think that you have any idea what it's like to be fat? What makes you so sure that you are someone who is able to lose weight if he wanted to? Weight has a .50 heritability by the way (Larsen & Buss, 2002), so genetics play a big role. Fat people do not have more or less self control than other people as far as I know, which you are assuming and basing your argument on. You're also assuming that fat people eat way more than we do, which doesn't have to be necessarily true. And last, what do you to sympathize with the poor? You're talking about people who are starving, are you starving out of sympathy? edit: Since you banned me I guess Ill have to reply here: Im not saying we should let it go Im saying that you shouldnt be so judgmental on other people when you're demonstrating clearly here how much of a douche you are. Your OP is one big hate speech against fat people. | ||
