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.

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.

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
