Being Obese is NOT a disease!
 

Damn, I love this guy's blog:

^^^ a quote from that entry ^^^

Has anyone ever seen a fat Amish person? NO. And that's due to the fact that:

-The Amish don't eat McDonalds 3-5 times a week
-The Amish don't sit around eating ice cream and wondering why their thighs are the size of tree trunks
-The Amish don't sit around all day watching tv and brushing the crumbs off their ever growing belly

That's a freakin' funny blog.... especially when he writes about the fat neighborhood kid (he calls webster) that he gives a hard time.

so . . . . alcoholism isn't a disease?

fat people are running out of excuses

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh That's a good find Donovan

i'm overweight. it's not a disease. it's a lack of proper diet and excercise. let's stop making up diseases to feel better.

im amish

- Huge baggy jeans that he had to pick up every 3 steps to keep from falling down
- A Sean John jersey
- Trucker Hat cocked sidewasy on his head
- Pube goatee and mustache
- heavy gold chain with an iced out cross

I walked up to greet the guy and was assaulted by his heavy dousing of cologne. It was a mixture of Axe Body Spray and whatever Wal Mart probably had in its $9.95 Colonge Kit section. As he was walking towards me he had the following pace:

i could spend hours on this blog. the guy has some talent.

Who's to say diseases can't be brought on....

Heart disease can be brought on or avoided...why can't we throw obesity into that same category

Sorry, did not answer my question

The IRS designated it a disease in 2002, so taxpayers could deduct the cost of weight-loss programs prescribed by a doctor.

The Amish aren't fat because they wake up at 4am & work until they pass out every single day. About once a month they have a shindig in a barn, that consists of other physical activities & feats of strength.

If we were all hunters & gatherers like our ancestors...we'd be aight

Which proves being obese isn't a disease... otherwise all that work wouldn't fuckin' matter.

....and last time i checked...i've seen some rather ROTUND amish women to say the least...the men somehow stay string beans...but those women are big enough for quadruple penetration :thumbsup

Wow, looks like genetics dont play a role at all. Down with fatty! :1orglaugh

they eat the same high fat/high calorie meals as their husbands, but do more trivial things that involve less arobic exercise

This guy is a genius :1orglaugh

I'm not fat, just big boned...

lol

anyone with a blog is worse than an overweight person.. blogging isn't a disease it is a plague

Calling whatever problem the masses have this decade a disease is a crutch. Just admit you can't fucking control yourself and do something about it. I don't even care if you call it a disease.

I have smokers disease.
I have workers disease.
I also have don't like to do yardwork disease.

Any government money for me?

Is there any Amish porn?

Comming from a long line of Alcoholics I will be the first to say that it is not a desease, it is an addiction.
I read an article by this psychologist that even refused to say that the mentally ill suffered from a desease. He called a disfunction, a chemical imbalance and said that the word "desease" should be used only for ailments caused by an 3rd party such as viruses and bacterias.

Deseases you can cure, things like alcoholism you can learn to live with

Yes, I also have smokers desease, or should we call it nicotinism? a nicotinist?

hmmm, so colds, AIDS, polio . . . just like alcoholism I guess

No, these things are caused by a virus, they could actually be able to fin a cure for it.
It is not a chemical imbalance in your brain.

Listen I'm not saying that alchoholists have them self to blame or anything, it is just unfortunate that they happen to have a brain that is not suited to the consumption of alchohol. I also realise that some people do have a problem with food, wether it is eating too much or too little, also explained by how their brain functions. All I am saying is that I don't think it is a desease.
It is actually more serious than most deseases if you ask me since there is very little to do about it, there is very little chance that they will ever discover a magic drug that cures disorders like alcoholism or eating problems since they might be caused by some many different things, while with AIDS polio etc they might actually be able to do that (hopefuly)

People are fat because they want to eat, and do nothing. And they drink because they want to.

i lost 7kg in 2,5 weeks!

No it's not a disease, but you have to treat is as one to fix anything. I was up to almost 400 pounds and am now down to 330. The only way i've done it is to tell my self that I have a disease and that eating certain foods will only make the disease worse. It starts when your a kid too. Eating fast food and all that. It's hard to break the mold if you've only been taught one way to eat.

I agree that a lot of obese people make excuses and call obesity a disease; however, there are diseases that contribute to obesity, such as Polycistic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). With the onset of menstruation, rather than the female body using stored fat for energy, it pumps out more insulin, thus holding onto the fat. I was an active child whose parents cooked healthy meals. Had I been diagnosed with PCOS at a young age, I would have been properly medicated and would not have had to deal with the ridicule from my peers (and adults).

I hope this information helps people better understand the plight of some overweight people.

:)

um...i grew up around the Amish and yes, I have seen many fat Amish people.

In addition to which you may very well have a disease or a condition that leads to it in the first place. I have made this offer you YOU before..please come with me to my doctor that treats me for the polycystic ovarian syndrome that I have and the report back what he says in regards to its connection to my weight.

ah...Mrs Lenny got there first..but I am sure we are making it up. Add to it that the medication methods for it are all very new and frankly most don't work - yet.

My thyroid is on vacation.

No.http://sexy-celebs.net/hotlink/dot.gif

says the man who doesn't understand the value of search engine traffic and the way blogs attract it like metal shavings to a magnet...

It's sickening, isn't it?

This guys blogs sound like the Journals from John Doe in Se7en.
