I used to like to claim that I just didn't know any better, and that's why I weighed almost 450lbs. It was a bullshit excuse. I knew fast food wasn't good for me, but I also knew a lot of people who ate the shit 3 times a day and weighed 200lbs. Ultimately, I have discovered that I just didn't give a shit.

I have lost 95% of my "fat sympathy". I'm still plenty fat myself, I weigh about 280lbs, but I just don't feel sorry for people who may not know what to do to lose weight. The fact is, they make consciously poor decisions every day when choosing what to shove down their gullet. Portion size in this country is out of control, but that is no excuse to keep expanding that balloon like stomach of theirs when they already need the damned cart to ride around in while shopping for all of that high fat content shit they eat every day. At some point, you have to take accountability for your decisions, or face the ridicule that comes with it.

I wouldn't be sorry. You just did him a favor. I'll bet he agrees.

You may be right.

I trip out when people literally get angry at me when my food choices come up in conversation. In fact, they freak out on me. And whats funny is, I could care less what other people eat. I really could. If you want to down 3 big Macs in front of me and a dozen chicken mcNuggets, rock the **** out. Enjoy it with all you got. I really dont care, nor an I offended by your food choices you know? But man, people get all pissed at me. So weird. They even get more angry when they ask why I make these choices. They dont like my answer becasue it forces them to rethink what theyre eating and they dont want to do that. I get it, but then dont ask and you wont have to hear what you arent ready to hear.

Its like if I got all pissed at you becasue you choose to drink gree tea instead of black tea. Wouldnt that trip you out if someone jumped all over you for drinking green tea instead of black tea? Who gives a rats ass what you drink right??

But I think youre point about it just being a form of projecting is pretty accurate..

The 12 year old McDonalds burger. Can you toell if from the fresh one?

This morning I won a free frappe.


What the HELL is a frappe?

I'd have to go with the one on the left. Looks like the bun still has some soft to it.

Salt makes a wonderful preservative and those burgers are loaded.

A satanic abortion of a coffee drink with a sweet caramel and/or chocolate flavoring.

. . . it's delicious.

I believe it's some snobby overpriced coffee-type thing.

Well it would usually be Milk, espresso and ice blended, at Mickey D's, who knows.

I think people get annoyed because you probably act like you have some amazing super secret info. In reality - which has been mentioned by a few posters in this thread - everyone already knows fast food is not good for you.

I think most people understand it's not good but I don't think most know that they are eating petroleum products in their food like lighter fluid. The anger comes from now knowing something they didn't before that's going to make them feel even worse every time they chomp down another McNugget. JMO

I think it's something illegal you get after a massage.

Not as good as a latte but better than coffee.
