the theater would get the sh!t sued out of them if they did that:Q


Why? If the lardass is taking up two seats or making the seat unusable for anyone else they should definitely pay more. Why should businesses be punished because people have bad personal habits and then threaten to sue if you treat them like the cow they are?

Airlines have run this practice quite often.

they should, you pay for a spot, and if you need more space, pay for it.

Who said he's not accepting them? Just making an observation ...

And who they are is disgusting. They don't have the motivation to stop eating unhealthy foods and start eating the right way. They don't have the will to go work out, even though they know it will make them feel better and be more attractive. Call me harsh, but there's no excuse for being fat. You brought it on yourself and it is your fault that you are still that way. Don't give me this "I just want to be accepted" BS, that's being selfish. Suck it up and change your life and habits.

Yeah, I feel the same way about fat women. They piss me off even more, because they're the ones I hear most saying "I want a guy to like me for who I am". If who you are is such a great being, then why don't you have self-control? Thats ugly, both physically and mentally/emotionally. If you're such a great person, wouldn't you want to be in the best physical condition, and be the most physically attractive for your spouse?

All I see is hypocracy in fat people (especially the ones who 'just want to be accepted'). Yes, I noticed I've started gaining weight. So when I eat out I'm choosing the less-tasty-but-healtheir places. I've picked up swimming; I'm doing that 35 minutes twice/week. I work out.

Your body is the most important thing you have. If you can't run an 9 minute mile without stopping....TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF.

That goes back to what I said

Gluttony is the worse of the 7 deadly sins. Sloth is the second.

FATTNESS is the combination of both Sloth and Gluttony.

Lol then your mom should have breast fed you. /half-sarcasm

Yeah forgot about those kids. That sucks. Would definitely make it more difficult to stay in shape. Can asthmatic people work out (but not run/swim)?
 
it's not as bad as in the US, but the epidemic is spreading here in israel too. it's so disgusting going to the pool and seeing boys with boobs. but maybe society will finally change. forexample, the movie Super Size Me changed a lot of ppl. and here in israel, they don't fry anything at McDonalds but bake it instead. it's the little things, but hopefully this will change.

Drive through the ghetto buddy. Some of the most insanely, disgustingly obese people you will ever see.

Or drive through the ghetto at night and look at how skinny the crackheads are.

It is really disturbing to see so many young people (under 15) so damned fat these days. Too much processed food and lazy habits. If people were getting smarter and more efficient and thus the fatitude was a side affect that would be one thing....but people are getting dumber too. Stupid and fat is no way to go through life.

everywhere in the united states but not the rest of the world.

Why does this myth persist?

Nearly every industrialized nation is facing a sharp rise in obesity. The US just started it's rise first and as such, has the higher rates. But many euopean countries are seeing increase rates on obesity higher than the US and will soon catch up. The UK included. Hell, even some third world nations are seeing sharp increases in obesity.

A few simple google searches will confirm the form you, if you doubt my word.

Only a few northern european countries have as yet kept obesity rates from rising sharply.

This is a lifestyle problem. Not a food problem, not a laziness problem, but a lifestyle problem.

Both France and Spain are facing thier own obesity epidemics and with rates rising faster now than the US, they will soon catch up.

It is a myth that the US is the only nation facing a rise in obesity. It was just the first to start that rise.

No doubt. Hell..when I was in Munich, I met a family from Portugal in one of the biergartens and the teenage girl was fat. Coincidence? I think not.

Yup, it's mostly the parenting. Last time I saw this show on TV where their mom fed them nothing but fried foods, fudge cake, and takeout philly cheese steak sandwhiches with cheese fries. No vegetables or lean meats at all. Kids stay at home and play videogames all day.

You should read about the obese PE teacher that reached over 1000lbs. She ran 3 miles a day and and kept gaining weight until she hit 300lbs or so. You can exercise and run, but genetics/culture has a far greater effect on obesity than anything else.

Well, anecdotally, the 20-something beach-going population in France and Spain doesn't seem to have near the collective weight problem as in the US.

I buy your obesity claim, but, and again anecdotally, the average person didn't seem nearly as overweight as the average person in the US. However, there seemed to be just as many very fat people.

Link to reputable source?

I mean...god damn. If one was to run 3-miles a day...they would have to eat some really messed up sh!t/a lot of it in order to keep getting fatter.

A Boston Beach, it figures. One thing that really stuck me when I moved from CA to Boston was how many fat people there are in Boston and New England in general.
