Fat and Stupid is no way ...

[TheVictors]

To go through life ...


now if only all these fatties would quit re-locating to Colorado and just be more sedentary.

 

[tinselwolverine]

I saw this; and I thought "wow - the obesity rate is 20 percent - one out of five are walking around obese - and it's the lowest in the country?"

 

[Michchamp]

disgusting. I hate fat people.

Chris Christie seems to be making it work.

I'm kinda surprised Michigan is that fat.

I don't remember there being that many fat people around. but then again, I never lived downriver, or in places like Clarkston or Waterford.

I thought it was "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son . . . "

"C'mon out with it . . . "

. . . anway, "What you got against fatties, Willis?"

How could I guess Champ hates fat people. Who do you have to sleep with to get off your shit list?

wait, are you asking who I have to sleep with to get off my own shit list, or who people on my shit list have to sleep with in order to get off my shit list?

 

[KAWDUP]

Well if you are on your own shit list, I guess it would apply equally, but I assumed you weren't on it, and therefore meant the latter.

Seems like fat people don't have to sleep with anyone; just lose weight.

Of course if they're Republicans, or religious, it's not gonna do any good.

Republican, Religious, Southern. I am sure there are others. Telling fat people to lose wait is like telling an addict to just quit using. How's that usually work out?

. . . and actually drug addicts have it easier in some ways. Obese people can't go without food to live. If addicts quit cold turkey in jail or rehab, they have a fighting chance. You've heard this before. An alcoholic can't just have one drink. Ever. Even though the food addiction can be just as debilitating, that doesn't work. There will always be food around, and they will always have to eat.

Nearly all addicts enter into the addiction by choice, so they most certainly should get the lion's share of the responsibility, but once your addicted, to food, drugs, or alcohol, it is a long road back no matter how you slice it.

yeah, losing weight and not whining about it would be a good start. I know some people have real health issues, and their weight gain is not due to some combination of laziness and gluttony, and I have sympathy for those people. People that just refuse to exercise & eat right I have no sympathy for, and that has to be the vast majority of the fatties.

jesus, who is the republican here again? at some point you have to take charge of your existence; if the diet we're given on a daily basis is too rich in calories and fat for a modern, sedentary lifestyle, you either have to cut it way down, or exercise to burn off the excess. you can sit around and expect people to "accept you the way you are." F Dat.

This kinda reminds me of a girl I met a couple months ago and my friend's engagement party. She was tall and cute, while her husband was a short, fat, nerdy software engineer.

after the party, my friend told me about them, and said she used to be fat, but she started working out and lost a lot of weight. I figured that explained why she ended up with a guy like that.

a couple months later, I was out at a bar with a group of people and the husband was there; my friend told me he heard they were now having "marital problems." no surprise there... gotta punch your weight (no pun intended)

The general trend is what is alarming.

Portions are HUGE, people are sedentary and largely lazier and food is worse. While I also feel empathy for those struggling to lose weight or those who have genetic predisposition to be heavy, that's not really the point of the larger problem --- people are getting FATTER.

At a point, it will be society as a whole paying for the impending crisis. Health care companies and insurance companies will raise rates to account for the plethora of health issues that come from having a fat people and there won't be anything that can be done about it.

Diabetes, heart problems, lethargy ... Colorado is a very active state with people who move there because of the "lifestyle" (and clearly the political correlation was a joke) but as a nation, we're pretty damn pathetic. I feel bad for larger folks I see on planes who have to request the lap belt or who are uncomfortable but at the same time, you typically don't wind up incredibly obese without some fault along the way.

Anyway, I just did my 30 minutes of hard laps in the pool.

I'm gonna have some egg whites now, and watch the Tiger game.

After the game I'm gonna have a little Thai style chicken breast, with a melted organic peanut butter, then get on about the day's business.

Dude, you're totally ripped! I ran about 3 miles along Hawthorne in Torrance yesterday and today. That makes 11 of 13 days of running - and usually I'd go 5 miles, but time only permitted me 3 this morning.

Good job Man!

My running on concrete days are long done - way too hard on my joints...

 

[redandguilty]

While it's only a drop in the bucket, there are these new-fangled, themed, obstacle course races that are a step in the right direction. Apparently, a significant chunk of that business comes from people who have never run in any sort of race before.

Jim Rome show picking up on the Fattest States ....
