Apparently you can smell obesity

I dont need a smell test to determine if fatty is obese.

Need and desire are two different things. Wouldn't you prefer to determine obesity with eyes closed, using only your nose? Mmmmmm mmmm. Sounds like I have a new game show idea!

Not to hate on the overweight, but when you find you cannot wipe your own ass you should consider a diet. That should be everyone's personal limit. Can't run? Can't walk a flight of stairs? Clothes don't fit? Fine. Draw the line somewhere though, and it should be no farther out than having to use a garden hose to wash the shit off of your own ass when you take a dump.

My breaking point was when it was uncomfortable for me to sit in a chair and try to tie my shoes from there; even then no one would call me more than "husky" (goes to show the degree our idea of healthy has warped). That was 5'5 215; I'm 135 right now.

Oh look, it's the OP's daily thread about overweight people. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

"It turns out that obesity may be detectable as a gas, thanks to organisms that inhabit our gut"

Awesome! We are one step close to having a test that can tell if you are, in fact, obese!

It is methane, which doesn't actually smell, but can be detected. However, speaking from an experience on a recent flight, obesity certainly can be smelly.

That is so weird, I had a friend who I knew once who was overweight, and he had a terrible body odor. Even after taking a shower or bath, you could still smell it. Yuck.. but I always thought it had more to do with what the guy ate. I mean he was eating like 40-60 kentucky fried chicken wings, and more in one sitting at a time. Most of what he ate was seriously over loaded with carbs and high fatty foods. He hated anything vegetables and anything healthy. I would just shake my head when I saw the kind of shit he was always eating. He said he didn't care what anybody thought..lol
