If you’re obese, fine but don’t think it’s good for you and don’t say it doesn’t matter.

Are obesity and homosexuality different? Is one a choice, but not the other?

I agree with the message of exercise and good diet. I swim most days, and feel great about it.
But there seems to be some considerable hypocrisy about the shaming from the Left on this.

  While trainspotting, you are also gay shaming fat people. That's new.

    Avoiding the question. An inconvenient topic, eh? Different rules for obesity than homosexuality.

        No answer. Homosexuality and obesity: is one a choice, but not the other?

Every year my doc gets after me. I don't look particularly heavy but according to the ol' BMI I could stand to drop some LBs. He recommended just skipping lunch or just having some fruit. Revolutionary!

This is true, a lot of things would be solved if people were healthy, but just because you don’t

look fat does it does not necessarily mean you are not obese.

Can we just redefine what the word fat means? That seems to be the way your party is handling

TampaIrish 12727 posts 1:14 pm on Aug 6, 2022

Things these days. Would you be ok if an overweight person identifies as thin? You guys like also think that is ok so why not this?

  You're right - you, who have a generous amount of fat between the ears doesn't mean you're obese
  
  jimbasil OP55023 posts 2:54 pm on Aug 6, 2022
  
  It does mean something - I'm sure you can figure it out. Maybe not. But in the end it's possible we can redefine what it is to make you
  appear smart, GUP.

    Why can’t you just accept a person for who they are and not what they look like or the choices they make? Sounds wrong to me. I have friends of all sizes. It doesn’t make them a bad person.

      I posted a Bill Maher piece on obesity in America. I didn't fat shame ------ yet.

      However, if you'd like me to fat shame, I'd be happy to.
      
      Not long ago (actually over 30 yrs ago) I went into McDonalds fast food joint and ordered a Big Mac and a medium soda.
      Me not being even close to overweight had no issues with that. The very large woman XXXXL in the line next to me
      ordered several burgers and several orders of fries and 1 large diet coke. I stood there, diminished by her size, staring at her.
      She looked at me and said in her shortness of breath - the exact quote here - "I'm hungry".
      
      I said something like, "good thing you ordered a diet coke to go with your order."
      
      It's always a wonder when riding the subway on a busy day, where there is very little room between two people available for a small
      child maybe, an obese person will ask in a demure tone, excuse me, can I sit there please. In my head I think, why not stand and burn
      a few calories?
      
      How'd I do?

        I get why you’re so angry all the time. You hold it in and there are times, like this story, where it just pours out of you. Were you proud of this comment? Did it make you feel like a bigger person?

        No, now you know the difference between fat shaming and posting a clip on someone
        
        jimbasil OP55023 posts 4:22 pm on Aug 6, 2022
        
        else's opinion on the subject.
        
        There is a difference. So how about sometime in the next millennium you post on the thread's subject instead of
        making up your own set of facts and biases.

    So there are only certain words that allowed to be redefined? Ones that control the narrative?

      They'd still be fat or obese.
      
      I'm not sure why you're so upset about the LGBTQ community tries to offer new pronouns to define themselves.

        Have a problem that causes them to gain weight. It’s no reason to make fun of them.

        But you, you and your group here always making fun of those in the LGBTQ community for no apparent reason
        other than you're all homophobic (and that is for no apparent reason). Other than this thread, how often would you say
        I mention, talk about, make as a subject the obese community?
        
        I bet it sits at about 2. Out of 46K + posts, I'd say it's nothing like your continued daily hate posts on the gay community.
        
        In life, I try not to fat shame - I try to encourage the overly large to rethink their dietary habits. Fruit instead of doughnuts.
