Charles Barkley -- Fat Groups FURIOUS ... Over Anti-Obese Comments

Two powerful obesity organizations are having a hard time stomaching Charles Barkley's offensive comments about fat women in San Antonio ... and now they're calling for Sir Charles to apologize.

Barkley lashed out against the big boned community in S.A. on "Inside the NBA" last night -- saying, "Some big ol' women down there ... that's a gold mine for Weight Watchers."

He also said, "Victoria is definitely a secret [in San Antonio] ... they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."

The statements are not sitting well with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance which is now calling for Chuck to apologize, ASAP.

"Making slurs about body size is just as offensive as making comments about body color," spokesperson Peggy Howell tells TMZ Sports.

"One would think being a black man, he'd be more sensitive to having his physical body criticized. It's totally out of line. He should absolutely apologize."

The President of the Obesity Action Coalition has also issued a statement expressing "extreme disappointment" with Charles.

"As a former NBA player and sports entertainment figure, Mr. Barkley should encourage equality and respect among society and not look to shame or segment one population because of their size."

"Obesity is a serious medical condition and not a joking matter."

Someone, probably fat, posted an article here that found fat people actually aren't as much a drain on health care as their regular-sized counterparts.

I didn't really read much into it but something about fat people experiencing higher rates of more serious medical issues and dying off before they can actually become a drain like healthier people do later on in life..

I find fat people unappealing to look at like the next guy. However, data suggests being overweight isn't nearly the medical problem some make it out to be. Now being morbidly obese would be, but a beer gut isn't going to harm your life expectancy or drive up your bills.

Give me a fucking break. Those fat fuckers are pathetic. Guess what, I'm fat and it sucks. But I made myself fat because of unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. I don't like being fat, so I'm doing something about it with proper diet and exercise.

Don't be a fat piece of shit, then bitch and cry because your feelings are hurt because somebody said fat bitches are not sexy. Guess what fat bitches?! You're not fucking attractive! Either change it, or accept it and stfu.

This. My biggest gripe about fat people who complain about the social perception of being fat is this: If you don't like how people see you because you're fat, change it. If you were truly fine with it, what other people think shouldn't bother you. It's nothing like being of a different race or, for those who aren't straight, different gender.

I always tell people who have a problem bathing that they smell like ripe onions and onion odor is an indicator of a body odor/bathing problem. Very few times have I smelt someone who actually smelled like shit(when I have it's mostly due to them shitting themselves).

LoL, not angry. Just disgusted. If a person doesn't like being fat, do something about it. Even if they need to seek professional assistance. Being fat is a choice. Choose to be fat, and accept it. Or choose to do something to change it.

The only acceptable excuse in my opinio, is that a physical handicap or a mental handicap prevents one from having that choice.

Look at what Obamacare has done to our health insurance rates. The cost of "insuring" everyone is causing people who have been doing the right things all along to pay a lot more for health insurance.

Even people who "take care of themselves" can be a drain.

First of all, we have more seniors now than at any point in history. A byproduct of modern medicine, combined with "taking care of yourself", is living much longer than any other point in history. The longer people live, the more they raise the cost of healthcare because at some point, no amount of good, clean living is going to keep your body from breaking down.

Furthermore, we're finding out now that many of the behaviors that even "health nuts" engage in are potentially damaging to your health. Low fat diets, incorrectly implemented, can actually LEAD to heart disease. Drinking water containing the byproducts of chlorination or bromination (all tap water and a good amount of "purified" water that is not distilled) has been shown to cause bladder cancer. Any number of medications that came to market in the last 20 years are now causing diseases and disorders that weren't anticipated at the time they were introduced, due to the lack of long term studies.

It isn't as simple as saying "fat people are a drain on the economy".

My brother had cancer when he was in HS. The treatment destroyed his thyroid. It doesn't work. He gains a lot of weight when he eats shitty and doesn't exercise. He loses weight when he eats right and exercises. I don't know exactly how the science works with the thyroid, but he is able to manage it.

You are absolutely correct, but:

1. Elderly people are not the people who are coming into the new Obamacare system and jacking up insurance rates. For the most part, they are still on medicare.

2. Sometimes bad things happen to people who take care of themselves and sometimes people put in a lot of effort at the wrong things and still get sick. That's all true, but, statistically, people who put in the effort to stay healthy are going to be a healthier population than people who don't put forth any effort.

I don't think this is entirely stupid. People who don't take care of themselves (including fatties, smokers, etc) are driving up health care costs. Look at what Obamacare has done to our health insurance rates. The cost of "insuring" everyone is causing people who have been doing the right things all along to pay a lot more for health insurance.

Eh, I've struggle with my weight since I was a child. Every medical issue I've had, had nothing to do with my weight. My blood pressure is normal and I'm not diabetic.

He takes something. Wouldn't people with thyroid problems take something, too? Like I said, I don't know a ton about it.

Yeah, most people with hypothyroidism have to. If he has no thyroid at all, it's essentially the most severe form of hypothyroidism - he doesn't have one. Of course, with him at least he has a stable baseline (again, 0) and he doesn't go through "roller coasters" like some do.

The list of complications with hypothyroidism is ridiculously long and goes way beyond just weight issues. The amount of thyroid disease in this country is absolutely startling. I have a feeling that the ultimate cause is likely the same as obesity and our epidemic of cancer - processing, preservation, and preparation of food rather than just straight overconsumption.

Not sure. Are those the cinnamon and sugar coated things?

That being fat doesn't mean you are a drain on the health care system.

Fair enough. Fat people are gross!

The same one I used to. He's the exception to the norm.

[KC native]

They can be coated with cinnamon and sugar. They are the Mexican version of a donut and often served with chocolate.

This is a sopapilla which are somewhat similar but served with honey and not as donut-y.

There are exceptions to everything. If you had to pay healthcare bills for 100 fat people or 100 gym rats, which group would you pick?

[Wildcat2005]

Comparing obesity to skin color is one of the dumbest things I have ever read

Eating big macs and fries does not change the color of your skin

While I don't think fat people should be made fun of for simply being fat, those that are fat and complain about persecution need to shut the fuck up and eat a salad once in a while

Maybe he means that fatties will die quicker, therefore resulting in a lower lifetime cost.

According to Google, that looks nothing like a churro.

ROFL Not searching for it at work. I knew the potential for bad images to show up for a churro search, so I avoided it.

Yeah it looks more like some on shat all over a Churro.

Please change that pic.

The National Association for Churro Advancement does not appreciate you using derogatory Churro pics.

[Omaha]

It's not, actually. It's factual.

The increase in the # of cases of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc will result in obscenely expensive treatments prior to death in most cases. That should be obvious.

Can we get back on topic please?

[ThaVirus]

Heart disease is still the number 1 killer in America and being fat only increases your risk of dying in that way.

There are a million other ways to die so most people just don't give a shit. Personally, I think the aesthetic aspect of being fat is what deters me from that lifestyle. It's just sloppy.

Not arguing with you, but I don't see the point of these "End bullying because of (insert reason)" campaigns. Why not just end bullying period?

Right. This was meant for the rule, not the exceptions.

This is absolutely wrong. Visceral fat increases cancer risk a fuckton. Especially intestinal & breast cancer. Google it. Too many sources.
