Should Fat People Be Shamed?

are you saying sugar is a/the problem?

Something they could do is make the seats bigger and further apart. If they just took a few seats out of each plane there would be plenty of room for just about anyone of any size. They would have charge a few dollars more per seat, but I think people would be willing to pay it if they knew it was going to be a comfortable flight.

well, it's more of a component to a larger problem

so you have sugar, which works your pleasure and reward centers, then you have booze, same thing, then you are at a 'consumption age' where you're buying toys, getting into drugs blah blah

fat is not cool, sorry

Being overweight is a health risk. That will become important with Obamacare. That program is struggling with funding and I would bet that eventually anyone engaged with risky behaviour or lifestyle will have to pay a premium. You won't be denied coverage but you will have to pay a premium.

everything is a health risk these days

Really good article babes and it is true eating healthy is more expensive and time consuming, but sooo worth it. But if you are poor and all you can afford is cheap food, chances are you wont be eating the right stuff.

Why just stop at fat people why not dumb people as well? I mean c'mon there's an arbitrary cut off at an IQ of 85 that one point above you're "normal" and one point below you're a "retard".

There are dumb people driving vehicles and engaging in other acts that are dangerous to the health and wellness of others that in most respects out weigh (no pun intended) the visual discomfort of seeing a fat guy/girl.

Lets stop the stupid from spreading or at least prevent it from seeping into the voter box!

Every person is fat man was once a scavenger we were supposed to binge eat when we could. The fact is bushmen are skin and bone. Like cows chickens and sheep even man is now man made.

Yes.

Next question?

Big is beautiful!

the parents of these people should be ashamed. i believe this is the main cause for people being overweight all their lives. they learn poor eating habits, exercise is not made important, they see their parents use food to cope with stress, so they do the same, etc.

public shaming is not cool but doctors should be making an active effort to always be on these people to do something about their weight. doctors often refuse to see a patient who won't follow their advice, taking prescribed pills, not doing anything about weight shouldn't be any different.

i also think there needs to be more nutritional education going on in schools and at home. i don't know if i just wasn't paying attention or didn't care but i never really knew much or thought much about what i was putting in my body until my mid 20's. even then, i'm still learning stuff all the time that changes what i do. i was never fat in my life but i did eat like shit for a long time which i did largely out of ignorance. parents need to take a much more active role in teaching their kids about what is in food, what you need out of it and what to avoid. my parents let me be picky about foods, avoiding vegetables and such which was not doing me any favors.

Phenylalanine is also added to a lot of foods which triggers the pleasure centers in the brain, as does MSG.

Facts still stand, u dont get big/overweight over night...you have ONE body why not learn about it, and educate YOURSELF on what to put in and what not to put in it. But the reality is, its easier to not care and be fat. Just like its easier to collect an unemployment check than actually work. Blows my mind.
