Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices

[fuzzylogic]

picked this up off slashdot:

Stating the obvious: "Two scientists write that obese people are disproportionately responsible for high food prices and greenhouse gas emissions because they consume 18% more food energy due to their greater body mass -- and require increased quantities of fuel to transport themselves and the food they eat. 'Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of, food,' write the authors, Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts of the evocatively named London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine."


thats something to think about...

Also more calories does not always mean more food.
BMI is a joke.
Then of course junk and crap food has remained cheap while healthy food is expensive and going up. Something seems wrong there to indicate they cause high food prices. Last I checked Wendy's still had their .99 menu.

the price of rice is rising.
a fast food company can reduce the amount of food offered of the .99 menu to keep the price static.

So is fish, poultry, beef, pork, wheat, lettuce, fruit, carrots, milk, cheese, bread, etc.
Portion reduction is not currently happening at such places. A 1/4th pound pre cooked patty will still be just that, two buns will be two buns, and so forth.

Now back to your rice. How often do you see fat people eating lots of rice?

I think the western world in general eats twice as much per day as they should be eating, but it is also due to the fact that the quality of food is so low that eating a lot of it is a requirement to reach your daily vitamin and mineral levels.

I'm sure biofuels cause more of a strain on food prices than fatties do. Fat people are fat because they are eating foods rich in saturated fats, trans fats and basic carbs like sugars, processed grains, etc...

And to all the fatties reading, don't tell me otherwise. No offence intended to you but you're fat because you consume more calories than you need. If you consumed less, you wouldn't be fat. In any case you are a fucking drop in the bucket compared to what biofuels are and will do to the price of essential grains like wheat, barley, corn, etc.

Whoever the idiot was who thought that producing fuel from the same crops we eat from was a fucking idiot. If you thought people are starving now, wait until the price of grain goes to where oil is. It won't be long until you're paying 5 bucks for a loaf of bread. Nevermind pictures of Ethiopian kids with flies on their faces with swollen bellies, it will be kids from YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. Not like there aren't enough kids who go to school every single day with an empty stomach already. (((((((((



I've likely said it before here but I'll say it again, the oil crisis is a myth, global warming is a myth, biofuel is likely the worst idea mankind has ever come up with. We'll all die from starvation because we can't afford the food, not because there isn't enough of it to go around. Who wants to choose wether or not they fill their belly or their gas tank?
