Greedy fat people should not be treated
 

Obese people are often simply greedy and should not always be treated with pills, the head of the British Medical Association has said.

Dr Hamish Meldrum believes an obsession with medical labels may be stopping overweight people addressing their own problems.

He said the obesity epidemic is being mistakenly targeted with medical treatments and doctors' appointments.

How come fat fucks always drink DIET coke? Look at that picture above... a pound a french fries... and a DIET COKE. Idiot.

Fat people do drink diet. This is probably the only thing they are doing to try and help themselves. Like drinking a diet soda is going to do anything when you already consume 5 thousand calories a day. lmao

can i get 6 hamburgers, one fries, one onion rings, and a diet coke..

They should be forced to only eat salads :)

What really pisses me off is when the morbidly obese get handicap parking. What they should do is park as far away as possible to make them walk it off.

Normally I just ignore the fat-hating threads, but this one is drawing me out, and here's why.....

I was walking out of an Amscot after geting a money order for some stupid eBay seller who doesn't accept Paypal and some idiot driving by made some comment about the width of my ass. Now, granted, my ass is pretty wide, but what really pissed me the fuck off is that I bet I have been to the gym more in the past week than he has been in his whole life.

Yup, I'll be damned, this fat girl works out 6 days a week, and probably eats more healthy than he ever has. (Note I didn't say LESS than him, because I do eat 6 times a day...but it's HEALTHY food at appropriate portions, and it's what my gym owner recommends. But even before I started working at getting fit, I still ate less food than most people I know-it was the types of food, and the schedule I ate it on, that hurt me.)

Ok, that's all. I feel better. Just remember, even a fat person working five times harder than you have ever dreamed of at being fit will still look fat for a good while. So for christ's sake, just CONSIDER finding someone else to pick on to make yourself feel superior, just once.

Not a bad idea really. While we're at it, I don't think we should treat Blacks for heart disease because they are predisposed to heart disease more than other races.

Well done... Once you have put in the hard yards and lost the weight, you will look back at your old self and the overweight people you see on teh street, and realise that the extra weight and associated health problems are a result of their own mental weakness, and why fit people just don't respect fatties. :thumbsup

Didnt Hitler try that? :1orglaugh

hit the gym, tubbo!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It's because they already have Diabetes and if they drank regular Coke they would probably have to get a leg amputated or lose their vision, etc.

It's not because they are trying to count calories.

:winkwink:

Bring on the FAT TAX!!

Actually I think Chase is a better person than that. If someone truly loves themselves they dont have to look down at anyone.The only people who do that are ones who need to feel better about themselves. Its very sad.

A lot of people are disgusted at fat fucks because they know they are lazy gluttons who have no self-discipline. It's also not very good looking. That is all.

Gluttony and Sloth are 2 of the 7 deadly sins.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Alrighty then... :1orglaugh!

I still remember when a fat lady bumped to me at the mall.. I almost fell down:(

It's not a joke. There's a lot of fatties hater. They won't tell you if they ever laid a fattie thought.

Uh, so is LUST, the very thing that lines out pockets.

cashbot, thanks for the encouragement, I do believe you meant it sincerely, so please consider what I am about to say. Hating people for their own good doesn't work. The repulsion you may feel towards an obese person is your right to feel, and you're right, many people feel that way. But treating someone as less than human because of anything isn't right. I'm not saying you do, I'm just addressing the way that overweight people will likely perceive your comment.

I have to say that Tony is right. I don't judge people by their appearance, or my perception or assumption of the kind of life they lead. Everyone gets my respect until they un-earn it. Even people I dislike I go out of my way to treat with the respect of a sincere disagreement, rather than resorting to childish personal attacks.....at least the vast majority of the time, lol, sometimes I slip. ;-P

When I'm fit, (note I don't say thin), I'll feel really good about the dedication that I put into myself, and I will probably have more energy and stamina, and less stress....but I can't imagine expressing my pride by disrespecting overweight people.

I agree to that.....
they should have discipline on thier selves
they have to control thier selves.

Hehehe, good point !!

<idiocy>
Fat people are just lazy and they have horrendous diets. They lack the self-discipline needed to maintain a fit and healthy body, and therefore they should not be treated for their obesity related ailments.

Fit and attractive individuals are insipid and stupid. They rely on looks rather than intellect in life, and therefore they should not be allowed to hold job positions that require thought.
</idiocy>

Generalizations work both ways.

This Dr is head of the British Medical Association. Do you think his comments are going to cause him to be replaced?

Have another DIET coke fatty.

You are the exception to the rule then. I go to the store to get groceries and everytime I see a morbidly fat fuck, I look in their carts. Ho-hos, twinkies, high suger drinks, and not on damned fruit or veggie. And don't call it a poverty thing either, cause the poorest countries have the skinniest people.

Fat people suck dick. They are a burden on society and employers. Employers that provide heath insurance have to pay higher rates because you can't put down a damn BigMac.

You get Handicap parking spots because you can't get your asses (collectively) off the damn couch. 82&#37; of the people on welfare in the US (according to the WSJ) are overweight, which means instead of having the potholes getting fixed with my taxes, in my town, I am paying for your fat ass.

I know, Im a dick, but at least I'm honest.

I am not exactly slim - but I drink Diet Coke because I like it.....

Its the beer that fucks me up.....

Here Here! :thumbsup

you guys are so mean. Sleazy has every right to be treated.

they should stop eating shit and star eating real food......

well, it's not easy for the obese people to loose weight! that's a fact and it takes a lot of convince for them to decide to loose weight!

yeah very not easy..:)

yeah same thoughts here!:thumbsup

Just try going to the grocery store and only buying fruits and vegetables. And NOTHING ELSE.

And I'm not talking about things "from the produce section". I mean only whole fruits, whole vegetables. No pre-made "salads" with meat and cheese and crap! Just real food! Fresh herbs are permitted if you dont already grow them.

Guaranteed that you will lose weight, and be more healthy if you always shop that way. Even better if the food is grown locally.

I have yet to be able to do this myself, but goddammit I will one day. :winkwink:

i dont care one way or other about obese adults

its obsee children i have a problem with the parents of these kids should be charged with bodily harm for feeding them nothing but macdonals every day or kfc with salad at dinner

there really does need to be some kind of test before adult are allowed to become parents and put there childrens in the same obese category as them

hey bitch get me another 5 big macs now im still hungry

Is your life so boring you have nothing better to do then focus on ours?

BTW on topic, I kind of agree with the doctor, but applied to everything, not just obesity. Doctors need to address reasons people become ill and work on prevention, not treat symptoms or be responsible to answer people who are constantly fed the advertised line of "ask your doctor"...

you should ask your doctor if he minds those commericals though

they pay his morgage

fat people are scarry. unless its some bbws .lol

It's not easy for anyone to lose weight, it sucks. Have to eat healthy and workout, but if you are that overweight, it's worth it. Not to mention there are a thousand different diets people are hocking all over the world. It's not hard to see what works from some of them and put together a frankenstein diet. Or just stop eating greasy fast food.

Last time I was at my cardiologist, and was sitting there in the examination room waiting, there was a pile of "nutrition guides" on the desk. They were from general mills I believe. It was just a guide of all the sodium, calories and fat contained in their breakfast cereals. Lame. I know the pharmaceutical companies sell HARD to doctors in the US since it's private health care here, so you get nailed with commercials and shit all the time.

I have already told him that I want to get OFF all medication whenever it's possible. I have a checkup on Monday, and I'll be asking about it again.

So far he's given me about $450 in free samples of Plavix (30 pills cost $144), and so much free Lipitor that I havent had to buy any yet (since May 19th). He knows I dont have insurance, and I guess he assumes that means I'm dirt poor, hehe. So I'll take all the freebies until they run out..

He may prescribe things that he normally wouldnt have thought of, just based on someone asking him about some big new pill they saw on tv. But certainly not to me. Not unless it's absolutely required in his opinion, and I still ask why do I HAVE to do that!????

do you not see the irony there :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

what you mean is you do not want to pay for medication

There's zero irony. I had a heart attack, and I had a stent placed in my heart. The Plavix prevents my blood from clotting the stent and killing me.

The Lipitor is to get cholesterol in line so less plaque is clogging my arteries. My diet has changed drastically since the attack, so I'm hoping I can get off the lipitor ASAP. I may be stuck on plavix for the rest of my life though.

I also take an aspirin a day, and lisinopril and metoprolol, both of which I believe I should be able to get off of. He's going to tell me on Monday I hope that I can let those expire.. I'm hoping!

I REALLY hate taking drugs :( Absolutely hate it!

you had a heart attack because you were unhealthy

the very thing being discussed in this thread

so even though you had a heart attack because you were unhealthy you still buy shit at the supermarket to eat

bring on coronary #2 :2 cents:

if you havent learnt now that you need to start wising up and eating better its going to take death to make you realize and have the self control you so desperatly need

FACT: look at sleazydream the fat ass sloth, if you are in the same group as him you need to hit the gym.

being fat is from being lazy.

I had a heart attack because I smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and sat at my computer for 16 hours a day or more and the rest of the time slept! lol

Yes the smoking and sedentary lifestyle made me unhealthy, no question about that. But my eating habits have been pretty damn good which all the doctors agreed with. I already eat whole grain wheat bread for example, and 1% milk, dont add sugar or salt to anything. Been using Splenda in my coffee for years and years instead of sugar. Etc.. the list goes on. The cause of my attack was absolutely attributed to my smoking and my sedentary lifestyle, plus family history.

There is a long history of heart disease in my family. My father died of a massive heart attack at my age (42), and my mother at 67 after a severe stroke.

About my post, yes I admitted that I havent bought ONLY what I said myself yet, and I bet you havent either, hehe. Not many people use produce stands these days, but we all probably should. However you will always find fresh fruit and vegetables in my house, and decent cereals with whole grains and low sugars.

You can try to pick apart my eating and such, but theres not much to find there. I was in a situation where it was operation and drugs, or death. Not hard to choose. Doesnt mean I have to like it though, or that my diet was bad.

If you're reading this and you smoke alot, sit at the computer a lot, and dont get off your ass and MOVE everyday, then you are in sorry shape. You should wake up and get off your butt and throw away all of your smokes and ashtrays immediately and continue, or START eating properly.

Pick the most healthy eater you know and have them smoke 40 cigarettes a day, and sit in a chair for 16 hours while not sleeping, and they'll die too in a couple of years.
