These people have an entire website. It's so pathetic the lengths people will go to to harmonize with their poor habits. Instead of taking the hard approach and doing what's right they turn around and say that what they do is not bad. It's the ultimate Sour Grapes brought to life. It would be like having a "Proud to be a crack addict" group.

WELL, I, for one, am completely backing this movement. I think every fat person should get outside and protest! If it comes to it, refuse to eat until your demands are met. Run up and down main street shouting your demands. Heres to you, fat activist. :beer:

Spidey, if you want to be perfectly fair, getting fat isn't a disease, it means you have good genes. Unfortunately the genes that have adapted for a certain lifestyle(nomadic tribesmen) doesn't translate well into the modern world.

Very good point. You guys realize that if this was 20,000 years ago, those fat people would be surviving and us skinny people would be darwin examples. 😛

Best thing is when all of you kids lose your wonderful metabolism.

Apparently people in Europe don't lose their metabolism? Don't give me that sh!t. To many people are lazy!

Europe is facing their own obesity epidemic. If the rates continue, they will reach what the states are seeing quite soon.

For the first time in history, a majority of adults in some societies are overweight. In the United States, 61 percent of all adults are overweight. In Russia, the figure is 54 percent; in the United Kingdom 51 percent; and in Germany 50 percent. For Europe as a whole, more than half of those between 35 and 65 years of age are overweight.

So the myth that obesity is a uniquely American problem is just that, a myth. It is a problem facing ALL modern societies where labor becomes minimal and high quality (high calorie) food becomes cheap and plentiful.

Mine's been gone a long time - I'm 43, 6'1" and 183lbs. When I hit my thirties I began to eat less and exercise more - and that's why I never got fat. It wasn't that damn hard.
