What is wrong with you Fataphobes? They can't help that their fat. You should be more accepting.

Right, wrong or indifferent Barkley calls it like he sees it and that's what I like about him.

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.

Nah. They are just consuming shit.

:popcorn:

Illiteracy acceptance!!!!!!! :D

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

Well, accept being able to control one of those things. Is it offensive to tell people that don't bathe that they smell like shit?

BREAKING NEWS: Charles Barkley is fat.

Give me a ****ing break. Those fat ****ers 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 ****ing 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).

I don't think you said what you meant to say.

RACIST!!!!!

You sound angry. Just a piece of advice: fat and angry is no way to go through life.

:)

I'm talking about onions here. They have layers./shrek

Being an onion is not a choice, bro.

Furthermore, an onion is a vegetable. Fat people don't know about vegetables. Talking about onions is insensitive to gigantic fat "people."

Smelling like one is.

:clap:

I disagree. Many very large fat people order a salad. Of course they also order a 96 oz soft drink, a bunch of fried food to put on salad, side order of tots, 32 oz of Ranch dressing and a giant milk shake to wash down that healthy eating.

Not enough room?

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.

It's always the lazy fatties who got issues. You don't hear no Sumo wrestler bitching at Sir Charles.

While it is true that the vast majority of fat people are fat because they chose to be, there is a section of society out there that is fat due to medical conditions like thyroid disease.

Not everybody can just "change it".

I was getting chubby after the military and said nope, screw that and changed my habits. Most fat people lack discipline in many aspects, and the evidence of this lack of discipline is on prominent display. I also live in SA, and fat people waddle in my way everyday. More fat chicks than skinny ones.

Yeah, I am well aware of thyroid problems, my statement obviously does no apply for those who are obese due to any medical reason(s).

Understood. I just don't see any disclaimers in any of these posts and wanted to make sure it got out there.

The National Association of Churro Advancement is outraged by this.

How are Churros suppose to be accepted as a household snack with this kind of bigotry? Trying to associate Churros with fat people is offensive.

Flubber Acceptance Club.


"OMAHA OMAHA!"

FYP

Those things look TOTALLY healthy...

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.

they are. they are the vegetable of the donut world.

So for those people, if they stop eating altogether, they will remain fat? Serious question, just trying to understand. Somebody pointed out to me a long time ago that in the photos of Japanese WW2 prison camps there wasn't a single soldier who was "big boned" or had a thyroid problem. Seemed to disprove any possible reason/excuse.

With no medical background to back up my claim, I think most people with thyroid issues use it as a crutch.

I knew a girl back in the day that had a thyroid condition. She played baseball to remain fit but admitted if she stopped being active she'd blow up. She was one of the hottest chicks I knew.

How much ****ing free time does someone need to dream up and found a National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance?

This country is dead. We just don't know it yet. /walkenvoice

Did she like churros?

It can make you more susceptible, but even in those cases it can be controlled if you try.

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.

Well, certainly if they stop eating altogether, they're going to waste away and starve to death.

He almost certainly takes a thyroid augmenter, right?

I wonder if Roger Goodell will start suspending people for using "body size slurs", and if David Stern will make someone sell a team for 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.

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

Absolutely agree. I see a lot of oversimplification elsewhere in this thread, however...

Isn't that what we do here? :D

goddamnit quit making this thread serious. this thread is supposed to be about fat San Antonio women, victoria's secret (please put images in NSFW tags so I can post in the thread from work) and CHURROS.

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.

Do you like churros?

OK. I'm not being a dick, but what point are you trying to make?

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.

Sorry. I'll quit!

kthx

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.

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?

The smart person chooses the fat people. The dumbass chooses the gym rats.

It doesn't mean you are, it means you will be if you don't change.

...and with the proper effort and discipline you are now a bulletproof beast!

wut?

I am TOTALLY a dumbass.

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 **** up and eat a salad once in a while

Just Pedophilin' By doesn't like churros.

Not yet, but I'm getting closer.

I have to assume he's trolling.

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

Only the ones who don't eat churros will suffer from that fate. Churros are a life extending foodstuff.

I can honestly say that those things didn't even look good. And I totally have a sweet tooth.

Good question. Are these gym rats on PEDs?

:)

Churros are PEDs.

For kids they are, at least.
