PS - Pass the bacon
I agree... as long as you are not "hurting" anyone else in the process... eat as much as you want, smoke as much as you want, drink as much as you want.
Aren't you hurting your family, loved ones, friends, etc. when you die of a heart attack at 40 years old? That's my biggest problem (aside from just being sorry/lazy, excluding medical conditions) with obese people. If you don't give a crap about how you look or your health, at least care enough to not die or have bad health problems when you have a spouse or kids.
I have a coworker who is overweight and she obviously doesn't care based on all the McDonald's combo meals I see her enjoying every day. But she has a husband and a teenage daughter. When you know the statistics associated with being obese and eating poorly, with ZERO exercise, why would your family not become an incentive to better yourself?
