Do you consider EXTREMELY OBESE people Victims of their metabolism?
How much of being FAT is a choice and how much of it is just a product of a genetic LOTTERY?
Is it time we start looking at overweight people as VICTIMS?

make way, very obese guy here...
i would say it's half-half. i was maltreated with the wrong medicines at the age of 3-4 for some issue + nearly all my grandparents died obese so there IS genetics.
on the other hand, i can lose weight, it just takes 5x bigger determination for me: some chaps lose weight by halving their pizza dinner. but if i eat only a handful of salad a day and work out like crazy, i lose weight in baby steps. i got it hard on the metabolism department, but i CAN lose weight.
no whining here, it's just that some of us fatsos need to try Much harder than Average Joe, but it doesn't mean tha we shouldn't try at all ;) let's just say we've got the difficulty set to Hard while it is Normal for others, but we can beat it, instead of blaming genetics. And who doesn't love to eat?

There is no obesity in the countries of the Sahel where famine reigns, whatever the people's metabolism.

As the resident GFY AUTHORITY on obesity, I can safely say its because we are greedy fucks that eat way too much because we have zero respect for ourselves or others...Comment

Maybe I'm missing something but "slow metabolism" sounds more like a blessing than a curse. It means that you can eat less and so you would save ton on food over your lifetime. It's kinda like an efficient 40mpg car is better than 20mpg one, everyone would obviously say that a car that burns less energy is better?

Last night i watched a perfectly spherical mother and her almost spherical son behind me at the grocery store line up. In my basket i haf some nectarines and some yogurt and a small bag of chips for my kids and i to share after dinner. In their basket a 2l bottle of coke a big bag of cookies a bag of chips..carrots which i found funny. Some pastry things i didnt recognize.
So must be genetics because it forces them to buy liquid sugar.Telegram PhoenixBrad

You have to take it on a case by case basis
there are some people who are just lazy and eat to much
some people have an underlining medical condition
some people eat as a coping mechanism because they were sexually abused
etc........“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

do you consider putting 10 gallons of gas into your car filling the tank until its spilling all over the ground - and then you keep on going, pumping another 20 gallons onto the ground - to make you a victim of gasoline?
Food is energy.
You can only gain fat when you consume too much energy and burn less energy than you consume. There are no "genetic" issues which cause your body to create fat from nothingness..

Lets be honest this BS we are seeing through social media etc Fat shaming, it's your genetics etc is just another way of normalising obesity which gives lazy cunts an excuse to continue eating mountains of the wrong food.
There is nothing normal about being overweight and it should not be socially acceptable, obesity is the biggest driving factor in the rise of western diseases i.e. Heart disease and cancer.
Genetics play a minor role, epigenetics is considerably more important which is something everyone has control over.
Exercise regularly, eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Don't eat junk food/fast food and you'll have no problem controlling weight.

There are people with bad metabolisms, but most of the time that bad metabolism is created by lifestyle. You know how they say your metabolism goes to shit as you get older? That's a pile of bullshit. Your lifestyle changes as you get older and that fucks up your metabolism and makes you a fat storing machine. You can undo it.
Morbidly obese people are that way because of poor impulse control. You have to have the calories to make that much body fat and no amount of "bad metabolism" can do that. Too much credit is given to hormones when it's a matter of not being able to stop stuffing food down their gullets.
My sister-in-law's excuse is that she's an "emotional eater", which is another pile of bullshit. Any overeating is emotional, even for fit people. I don't eat that 8th slice of pizza because I need it, I do it because it makes me feel good.
I have no sympathy for people who get crazy fat and blame their problems on it.

Mostly it is by choice. Even if you have a very slow metabolism. Eating the right amount of food will not get you into obesity.Making Awesome Logos & Websites Since 2003!

It's also a major factor driving up the cost of healthcare for everyone.

Sure, metabolism plays a huge role. I didn't gain weight until I quite smoking, although you can argue most people start eating more when they quit smoking. We've all seen it - people who never exercise a day of their life and will always be skinny, and then people who diet and exercise every day and will always be huge.Herschel Savage
