Shocking to see people defending one of the most exploitative industries out there just because its the republicans prosecuting them

Health is not complex. Eat right. Work out. Everything else falls into place.

Stop making excuses for bad habits that harm people. If you truly cared about your friends and family, you will tell them when they are unhealthy. If you encourage their behavior, you are an enabler and they will die sooner rather than later.

Obesity costs america trillions of tax payer dollars in Healthcare and productivity. Obesity is burying hospitals.

There is no way you can compare adhd or autism to Obesity. Obesity is a choice. Medical conditions are not. People choose to eat more and exercise less. I have no sympathy for people that make everyday life harder on society with no accountability.

The fact that you think having one cheeseburger is the equivalent to Crack cocaine is telling.

All it takes is a 30 minute walk daily and to eat a salad once a day. But apparently that's too much for some people and now they have to harm society with medial bills, lack of productivity, special treatment, and inconvenience.

The most unhappy, nasty people I know are obese because in there mind they are victims and its everyone else's fault but their own. They take no ageny or accountability for their actions.

All that weight hurts your body so much and when you can't even leave the couch to open the door for the 24 wings and loaded fried with a gallon coke , maybe its time for self reflection.

Go ahead. Defend people's poor life choices that are harming themselves, their family, and their communities. Support their victim mentality and tell them there is nothing that can be done and that they and beautiful just as they are when they need another person with a stick to hold up their fat just so they can have sex.

Obese body positivity is a death sentence and a depression enabler. Every person should always work on themselves to be better and that includes keeping your body and mind well maintained, no matter what their size is.

Congratulations on ignoring literally everything I said and arguing with some fictitious person who is "body positive" about obesity or who doesn't think it's a problem. I mean, I've come across straw man arguments before, but this one takes the biscuit.

You think your hate and contempt can fix other people, but you're very, very, very wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if you shout at homeless people or at last rant about them for half an hour behind their backs.

Also congrats on completely, utterly and comprehensively falling the self control challenge I set you.

Turns out your self control in some things is at absolute zero.

Still really proud of yourself? I bet you really are, because you're not very introspective so far today.

Because I care and love my friends and family and I want them happy and healthy somehow im a hate monger?

I see you have no experience in actually helping people with depression, drug, and obesity problem. Patting them on the back and telling them they are awesome while their life is out of control is the worst thing you can do. But go ahead and do what makes you feel better instead of actually helping.

You invent so much of my side of the conversation. You argue with what you'd prefer I had said because it's so easy to disagree with and knock down. You've invented this whole nonsense viewpoint and life history for me just so you can come across as more sensible. But it's insane because it has almost nothing to do with what I said and everything to do with your prejudices and your inability to have some self control over your judgementalism and your condemnatory impulses.

You've gotta be rightwing.

Bad people who make bad choices deserve all the bad things that come their way and some more flung at them by you just to show them how wrong they are? That's where you're coming from here.

Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that it's unhealthy.

It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it's one of many.

I've read that American food is particularly bad, and you are right, but the factor contributing most is the metabolism with which you are born, other things important are levels of stress, ability to sleep well.

Exercise is important, yes. Eating right is as well. Just keep in mind that some things are outside your control, and if you think your health is your own achievement, that might not be entirely correct.

Eh, no

The factor that matters most isn't your metabolism. If that were true we'd have sever overweight issues since thousands of years but we haven't. The overweight pandemic is caused by too much food, period.

Want to lose weight? Whatever your metabolism is, eat less, eat healthier. It's that simple.

Yeah, exercise a lot, that's healthy and needed. It won't make you think though unless you really exercise a lot (3+ hours a day, every day)

Easiest way is to just eat less. Eat smaller portions, stop eating processed foods, cut your sugar intake.

There are some super interesting videos of a physicist / chemist going over the basics of the chemistry involved and implications of it, I can send those if you're interested
