Fatties you are alright by me, because it doesn't matter how much you weigh. You'll be a forgotten pile of dust sooner or later, nothing you do matters.

Actually I see quite a fair share of severely overweight homeless people. In their case, it's due to having a terrible diet and /or mental illness.

People living on the borderline of homelessness also seldom have access to a kitchen. Earlier some goons were complaining about how people don't know how to cook. Kinda hard if you don't have access to anything more sophisticated then a mini fridge and a microwave.

Weirdly enough in the US, the only population group that gets fatter as they get poorer are white women; all other ethnic and gender specific groups get thinner as they get poorer.

(CDC report linked in this post)

I'm not sure why but this doesn't surprise me.

When people get pressed on it, they bring up a laundry list of other issues (the big one being DEPRESSION) as to why being fat isn't too terribly different than how tall you are or what your skin color is.

Even depression can be controlled and treated

Fat ain't height or race lol

Is fat a protected class, I could of sworn it wasn't since you can be fired for not being fit enough for duty at jobs.

Don't get me wrong I don't get mad at them for existing but it is a healthcare crisis that needs tackling because of the expensive comorbid chronic conditions.

Bottom line, being fat is bad for your health. If you can't accept that and work to reduce the risk it poses to your health you're a loving moron. Nobody else really has the 'right' to comment on your being a fat tub of lard, but hey, it comes with the territory. If you live a lovely, unexamined life, expect other people to examine it on your behalf.

More like at 67 when they get a case of pneumonia and their body is too fat to handle it and they spend a month on a ventilator in an ICU before getting a hole cut in their neck and getting shipped to a long term care hospital where they inevitably cost the taxpayers $2,000,000 in futile care before they die of an infected bed sore.

It's also worth noting that this hypothetical fat person also needed a walker at age 45

Even if overweight people don't die early, it seems like it would be a quality of life issue. Like yeah, I guess chances are a heart attack won't kill me immediately but if the last 20 years of life are in constant pain or with a breathing device or taking lots of medication every day, I'm sure fat people wish they could have made changes at 30 years to avoid having to do that.

If obesity is purely a moral failing, are you suggesting that black women, who I believe have the highest rates of obesity in their demographic , are simply lazier?

Is that going to be your explanation for comparatively higher unemployment and conviction rates as well?

Reading the healthcare stories thread is always an excellent way to stave off the urge to overeat. So many lavishly detailed accounts of enormous fat people dying of their own fatness in the most squalid and miserably unpleasant ways imaginable.

I still want some people here own up to the fact that if you are going to make a blanket claim that obesity is purely a willpower issue, not a genetic, economic, or racial issue then by your logic people of a particular race or gender must be lazier right ?

People have certainly beat this drum to explain concentrations of poverty and incarceration. They argued being poor and going to prison are 100% preventable.

Since the claim here is that being fat is not only completely preventable, the fat person has total agency over their choices and chooses to shirk an easy alternative in the form of a healthy lifestyle. I guess that means you're going to hold poor, unemployed and undereducated people to the same standard?
