Should Fat People Be Shamed?

You just pray they don't start taxing dumbness in your country ...

people don't eat that way.

what are you hungry for? mmmmmm, a hamburger sounds good! it's not what is your body hungry for, it's what sounds good for dinner!

what are you really hungry for? well, i need some protein, a bit of carbs and some fat, oh and some fiber.

Worry about yourselves. I am sure everyone here could be picked apart in a matter of minutes.

shame for being fat? is this thread for real? You should be ashamed of doing bad things, causing harm, pain, being a prick, a thief, a criminal... but.... being ashamed of being fat? I'm not fat (I've some overweight now that I spent 1 year in bed, and still nobody would call me fat) but really, can't believe this. One thing is being worried or concerned, but... ASHAMED???? Give me a break

In my experience the people who are most hard on fat people, or negatively comment on how fat other people are, are usually fat themselves.

kinda depends on why they are fat no?

well, it can be for many reasons, usually health conditions, psychological reasons and eating for pleasure. About health, they can do little. Psychological... depends on the pathology, but really difficult as well. About pleasure... well, guess I'd take relatively seriously to some kind of crazy fucker who avoids pleasure at all costs (and I'd take them seriously because I know they're sick). So, to anyone here saying fat people should be ashamed, let me ask you: did you stop doing EVERYTHING that gives you pleasure? If so, let's talk. Otherwise... well, you're just a dumb fucker. With all due respect, of course

Food for some people can be very addictive - There are chemicals in the brain that are released when you eat and in some people they can be as addictive as nicotine or crack...

I am not saying its the case with everybody, but its the case with a lot of people - Especially those who binge...

And yet we shame drug users right and left for those same chemical addictions.

yes, just like stupid people should be. There is no reason for either one unless you have a medical condition which you can't help.

fat people can lose weight. stupid people will always be stupid and should be drug out to the street and shot.

maybe we should start rationing ice creams.

To me this is heading down a slippery slope.

If you have family members who have diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure or any number of other ailments that can often be genetically passed on to someone should those people have to pay more for healthcare? The odds are they will likely end up costing more than the average person.

The two seat thing I don't have a problem with. I spent most of my life overweight and finally got a hold of it a few years ago. I lost a lot of weight and feel so much better now. The way I looked at it was that it was unfair of me to do something where my size my impede on someone else's life so if I had to fly I either paid for two seats or sometimes I flew with friends etc who told me they didn't care if it was a little cramped. Hell, on most airlines anyone over 125 pounds it too big for those seats.

However, I found most people didn't have the same courtesy. I don't how many flights I have been on where people let their kids run around, scream, yell and act terrible. On one flight there was a woman and her three kids behind me. They were all 8-12 years old. They spent the whole flight kicking my chair and screaming. Several people asked them to stop and she just shrugged and said, "They are kids. They will act like kids."

but for addiction to work.. lets say cigarettes and booze

so you drink booze, and really want a cigarette.. that's based on one addiction being fed, and therefore your body 'wanting all your addictions'

so, if sugar is considered addictive..
