Really you are almost trying to kill them. You know that bread and water will give a person horrible diarrhea leading to dehydration. Bread and water was a form of punishment.

This is the same line of shit they pull with alcoholism. Alcoholism is not a disease. It's a self inflicted condition created by the choices that person has made. Obesity is a self inflicted condition that raises your chance of all kinds of diseases, but people are not simply 'stricken' with obesity unless they have a legit medical condition (as some do).


You are a ****ing idiot.

This.

People who are obese are not necessarily lazy.

They have addiction problems. Same as alcohol.

Alcoholism and Obesity are symptoms of the disease and the disease is addiction.

You can be addicted to anything some without negative consequences.

You can be addicted to work, working out, sex, chocolate, food, alcohol, etc.

Anorexia is a symptom of of the disease of addiction. The addiction of wanting to be thin at all costs.

You're fat, aren't you?

Am I addicted to exercise because I go 3-4x a week and eat healthy and like to look good with my shirt off?

The "I can be addicted to anything" is a tiresome argument.

Brock 07-06-2013 05:27 PM

I accept that there are fat people wh cannot control their problem, be it mental or physical. Let's go crazy and say it's half of them. That still leaves millions of people who are choosing to be obese.

Narcissism isn't a disease.

But it can lead to douchebaggery. :)

true


addiction is a disease of sorts but still millions and millions of people who just don't care enough to exercise and eat right. People who talk about 'comfort food' are a good example.

a large % people need to cut how much they eat literally in half

They get addicted to alcohol, food, sex, whatever because they are going through DEPRESSION.

That is the real problem.

I'm not fat, but I could lose about 10 pounds to be at my ideal healthy weight.


The problem I have is I try to buy healthy food at the groc. store but it seems more expensive than buying what gets us by. "Healthy Choice" say is more expensive than "Banquet" food products. That is just an example. Diet food cost more than regular foods. So I know "Healthy Choice" or "Smart Choice" brands are good for me but I chose "Banquet" product because it is cheaper and on a budget.

That is an example of what I think is part of the problem & no one really brings up the cost of diet food vs regular foods.


Hamburger & other meats cost more with less fat content. I don't pay much attention except the cost of the product if I can afford it.

These are issues I think America has & part of why people get so fat.

Bread is a fiber and water will flush you. You in no way would end up constipated.
Diarrhea is the reason for the Bread and Water punishment.
