"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.

great, now instead of your doctor just looking at you and saying "you need to lose some weight" He can order a $4k test, then say "the test results say you need to lose some weight"

more power to them

They do this sort of thing ALL the time anyways. Our entire health system is a money sucking /profit driven sector.

Expect it to get worse, LOT worse.

This is very true (I work in healthcare.) Instead of doing a $700 CT angio scan often times patients will be taken into a cath lab and have a $10,000 procedure done to get the same information simply because they can. It is silly.

As if I needed an excuse. *brpppt*

Blank check syndrome.

As you said, there's easier gases to detect that obese people give off. Trying to more than token clean all the folds would be a full time job for many in the fatter states (witnessing AL myself for three years).

The bigger shock is that baby has a three jointed right arm O.O (I know it's just a fold)

If i dont get the super fancy test the celebrities get im going to sue!

Awww yeah. I just made your post 1,000% hotter be using a selective quote. Me too, brother. Me too.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Whoah! Slow down there, Glenn Beck.

I'm not worried, just a matter of time before you and rest of America has their health issues.

When you get there, make sure you label yourself Glenn Beck too.

Really fat people often don't wipe well after they defecate.

Really fat people often don't wipe well after they defecate.

Have you seen the extra large toilet seats? They flair out from the bowl and cup the ass. And then you have the wand they use to spray their cracks out. It is a mixture of a bidet and a pressure washer.

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.

Don't forget to wipe front to back with that thing.

The fact that this is a necessary item, and can probably be found on Amazon with free shipping, is sad.

I had this guy showing up "to train" for awhile on Saturdays. 6'4" 500lbs+ The stench was sickening. Tried to be cool about it, but after a couple of sessions I asked the guy that invited him to tell him, either show up clean and smelling fresh, or don't show.

Besides if he gorked, I would have to jump up and down on his massive carcass to do compressions. He sounded like he was going to code simply by moving around. Played H.S. ball at approx. 350lbs?, then went full blown Jabba mode after graduation. Anyways, yeah, the stench, unbelievable. You think you have gotten desensitized to it, because it is just annoying after a bit. But then you leave the dojo for a few minutes, come back in, and it hits you like a gas grenade.

I thought that smell was duck butter.
