Yes a Topic about fatness...well im not fat myself but i really want to say some reasons why people are fat!

well the normal reason is that they eat much.. and some times they eat much because: they feel sorry for themselves or they have lost someone and eat because ur unhappy and that.....

one other reason is that they have a sickness and like that but i don't know anything about the sicknes...that can you other who read this post...

but the whole reason is that....(this is nothing with armorgames to do but)i searched around youtube about all kind of things until i come up with a little clip about a fat kid was falling from a tree (it has fallen over a river) he felled into the river and got wet.... well i felt a little sorry for him and when i saw the comments i just felt more sorry for him.... the comments where like "hahah that fat kid did fall!" "haha" "lol" "rofl".....well ill just say "THINK BEFORE YOU ACT" like dont laugh at them, or be a bully against them.....

-Im not from an English/American talking country
-Im not good at english
-Well i think many will come to this bost with like "this topic were just bullshit" and "this is no serius topic" well just "think Before You Act" like ive already said......

you first speakers blame the food industry for the people's weight problems. but its the eaters fault. they have no control. the have the ability to diet and exercise but they don't. i am aware of some genetic and disease related obesity issues, but apart from that people are to blame. they can just stop eating, thats we created appetite suppressants to help with hunger or the dieting athlete. we have the ability, we are just to lazy and to addicted to pounding food to do it.

The food industry has nothing to do with people getting fat. If the food industry makes people fat, do pencils spell words wrong? NO! People make choices. If they choose to eat McDonalds every day, they have to live with being fat and unhealthy.

I agree that we can't blame the food industry for making people fat. If healthy food were a market, companies would cater to that. Guess what? Many do!

Now, It might be nice for companies to take healthy options over unhealthy ones. But really, the food industry is a business, and if they don't do what is best for the bottom line, their shareholders are going to want to have a long talk with them about the definition of business.

IM not sure about this but, on Super Size Me, I'm sure they said that eating occasionally at a fast-food restaurant won't affect you, It's just people who eat it to much and get no excersise.

^^ Well that would be the people that have control of their weight. We would call them fatties, but obesity is something very different. It is a disease, and sometimes they have almost no control on their size.

Why are people bringing cases against fast food companies? It's sickening. The government is not there to make you slim, and the government is not there to award you money when you make stupid choices. If one decides to eat fast food non-stop, the government should not step in at all. Government should exist only to preserve property. Not to stop the free market and stupid people who continually eat fast food.

The solution tot his problem is to make the entrances of all fast food places vey narrow so fat people cant get in. Once they are thin enough to get in they can. However what if they eat loads and like live in the restaurant and never leave and get fat again then cant get out and get trapped in.... i did not think this through

But seriuosly obesity is a seriuos problem. Its more due to diet tham lack of excercise tho i think. I mean if u dont excercise but eat good food u wont get fat but the other way round u probly will get fat

Asherlee, they indeed do. As many could figure out by personal experience, willpower and a "drive" is a hard thing to obtain. Not many will try on a word. They will have to see the side effects of an unhealthy diet.

Arax_Nisanu, you seem like one of those individuals who takes eating far too seriously. I can see that by calling a cheeseburger a 'loaded gun'. Please, get real.


It a metaphorical statement. Relax.

[/quote]Many of my friends and acquantences are health nuts, and say 'you should never drink soda, eat those fatty foods,' blah blah blah. Fact is, I am in better shape that all of them.


Unlikely, or you have a faster metabolism is all.

Now, I am not saying eating healthy is a bad thing. I eat, for the most part, a balanced diet myself. However, it is not a killer to eat fast food (or 'junk' food) every once in a while.


We're not referring to those who eat a balanced diet such as you. We're referring to those who DON'T.

On the topic of obesity, it is not necessarily a person's own fault if they are slightly overweight. It could be genetics, or possibly a common problem with the thyroid. Either way, I also believe most folks judge overweight people with too much of a critical eye.[quote]

Agreed. I've seen many teens bullied and "outed", because they're obese. Stereotypical actions are the most stupid in my opinion. Being obnoxious is worse than fat.
