[quote=Gravitas;381906]Forest, um where are you getting your info? It has been demonstrated over and over in SCIENTIFIC lit that fat people as a group eat no more than thin people. Where are you getting your info from. OA or Weight Watchers. Neither are credible. In fact, most people who join those groups do gain their weight back, the numbers are like 90%. Why don't you try reading The Dieter's Dilemma by Dr William Bennet. He was editor of the Harvard Medical School news letter. Anyone who bothers to do the research will find that most popular myths about fat don't hold up.
==================


Even the one about them being repulsive to other people?



Then again, you need reading comprehension to do that.
==================
Now, now, Porky, don't get snippy.



I believe you quoted me as saying I said obesity is harmless. Uh, NEVER said that. I said it was being used as a distraction. Your prejudices made you miss the point of the entire post.
================
Why do you call it prejudice to abhor the sickness of obesity? Is it because you use the word "prejudice" for a retort to a host of things, including your inability to find work in the private sector? I would bet the farm that you are one huge Miss Piggy, except with black, kinky hair.

Ocean whatever, that you lost weight after pregnancy does not prove anything.
===============
It proves she has the gumption to lose weight.


There are different reasons why people are fat.
===========
Maybe, but the foremost and predominant one is a lack of willpower to stop stuffing one's pie-hole with unhealthy fast food from Burger King and Mickey D's.


I haven't missed a day of work in over 10 years.
==============
So, do you want a medal? That's what you're supposed to do.




And I take public trans,
==============
Got that Caddie repossessed, did you?


teach and date a firefighter paramedic so I am exposed to lots. It is because I adore my beautiful curves
============
Translation: "It is because I adore my layers of built-up fat from sitting in a chair on the taxpayers' dime, and developing an ass that you could put a dinner plate on and it wouldn't slide off."


and stay away from negativity. If I can avoid illness, so can anyone, no excuses to be sick.
============
Being a lard-ass is sick in itself.




Sound absurd? So is your argument. Every body is different. What is right for one is different for others.
===============
Good health and a svelte body is good for everyone.


But as I said, I have never met a fat phobe who wasn't using it as a compensation for their own inadequacy.
================
So, in your distorted view of things, anyone who thinks lard-assed chunks are unhealthy and ugly, is "inadequate?" Mammy, you really are a deluded piece of work.



If you raise your self esteem, you will feel the need to judge others less.
===============
Why would you, a fat-ass lard-bucket, have any self-esteem? Have you been to Rev. Wrights church?


I hope the above emotional litter in the posts doesn't distract from the original posts true message! Whether obesity is bad or good, genetic or environmental is not the issue. The issue is they are using obesity to distract from their own wrong doing - like ripping off the system.
==================
If there is any ripping off of the system, it is being done by you ignoramuses who depend on the government for a livelihood. Who work the system and milk it for all it's worth. Who grow fat and sassy on my money. Who have the audacity to use money that you had the government steal from me and give to you for doing nothing. Calling yourself a "sociologist" just to have a name for the evil work you do.


It is too bad some people would rather scapegoat than save their anger for people who are really hurting them
===========
Fat asses who take my tax money ARE hurting me - and my family.


What good little soldiers some people choose to be!
==============
What a good BIG soldier for the socialist cause you appear to be, Fatso!

"Fat Can Be Beautiful! Intolerance is ALWAYS Ugly.
==================
There is no way in hell that fat is beautiful. It is the most repulsive condition for the human body to ever be in.

And they should have to assume the risks of that behavior and forego the taxpayers' treating their maladies from such outrageous behavior.

Lose that fat and get off the backs of the working people, Jemima.

Fine, then make everyone else accountable as well.

Would you be for banning cigarettes?

What about alcohol?

The differences in insurance premiums do represent different treatment of these various groups.

300-pound inmate complains Ark. jail doesn't feed him well
"An inmate awaiting trial on a murder charge is suing the county, complaining he has lost more than 100 pounds because of the jailhouse menu.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food."

Wonder when the ACLU is going to jump on board.
Heaven forbid he lost weight!
