[Discussion] Why do we treat fat people...?

[Rustle Jimmies]

Its not that simple, you realize that some people are overweight because they have a very slow metabolisms so its easier for some people be be skinny.

Thats why people who are skinny are likely to survive longer. Better genes=survival of the fittest. Metabolism is slow? Well then go exercise? Cant exercise because of being the same size as a sumo-wrestler? Well then do Humanity a favor. Kill yourself.

 

[Revyy]

I wanna know your definition of "fat" like what size we talking. Because there is a huge difference between being Plus size and being fat.

Also medically speaking "fat" people would live longer than skinny people simply because there is more fat for the body to sustain itself on, I mean this in like a pure survival way though. Then again I just want the apocalypse..... ._.

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

Why do we treat fat people as if they are some helpless group of people? As if they're some disabled group of people that can't help themselves(I understand some people really can't help themselves). A good portion of fat people have nothing wrong with them other than the inability to stop eating junk food.

How would you feel if we treated lazy people the same way? Imagine if your parents were just lazy.

They could help you with homework, or make dinner, but nah they'll watch TV. Instead of 'lazy-shaming' them, we can motivate them to live their lazy life to the fullest. Don't let anyone bring them down! They might get their house foreclosed but who cares? Don't 'lazy-shame' them! Ya bigot!


Anyway that's my opinion. We need to stop being 'politically correct' about fat people and motivate them to lose their weight. Get rid of all this fast food and greasy food we consume. What do you guys think?

Some people are happy being large, the only reason we judge it badly is because of what is considered a social norm, a social norm established by the media, ever wondered why most women in old paintings are chubby? Its because that was what was considered attractive.

But that's not your point.

Fat people can be disabled, weight can be a dissabilty, limiting movement drastically and cannot usually be lost the normal way at that stage, it becomes a medical issue.

It is not always the person's fault, comfort eating, (and yes it is as real as anorexia), is an issue, as are other medical issues. But sadly in truth the majority of fat people are just that, fat. However, you don't know why a person is large so its not right to judge, nothing is black and white.

Weight at a certain stage or caused by other medical issues or mental issues is a disability, the only reason people are harsh is because they view fat people as abnormal because they don't fit a social norm created to make money

Because there are much more reasons to be fat other than eating too much junk food. There are genetic factors, some medical substances or cures which cost weight gain, eating disorders, psychological problems, differently paced metabolisms etc.. And not all people have access to healthy food so they can go for junk food whic are more accesable and cheaper. There can be a lot of reasons so there is no need to ridicule them or feel bad about themselves w/o knowing their reasons.

 

[Anduril]

Being Fat in medical terms invites a lot of health issues, they should immediately reduce weight. A person can eat a ton of Junk food and still not get fat if he exercises enough.

So fat people are not fat because they can't stop eating junk food, they are fat because they don't exercise or do hard labour which would balance their diet. So being lazy is also one of the reasons people get fat in the first place.

@Bold, no, because it's healthy to be fit. I'm not telling everyone to go out and weigh less that 150 lbs. I'm saying be a healthy weight for your height. This isn't me saying this out of the fact that it's not attractive or other reasons. This is simply based on the fact that people die every day because of their weight. It's a problem. It's a problem when people tell their fat friend it's okay because they aren't that fat. It's a problem when you have fat people just eating and eating and eating and being comfortable being unhealthy. I'm all for do what you want with your freedom, but we should not allow people to dig themselves an early grave.



I'm not talking about people with actual disabilities and emotional disorders. I completely understand those reasons.

I think it should be okay for businesses to refuse fat people food. Like Mcdonalds. They should be able to refuse a fat person anything but healthy food. Why is that not a thing? Fat people should be refused fast food and junk foods and given more healthy options. The reason this type of thing won't happen is because of political correctness. Oh(Insert Sarcastic Laugh), and freedom.

 

[The Dreamer]

We shouldn't discriminate them but we shouldn't give them any privileges.

 

[Wabbit]

Lets start by making their life difficult, getting rid of things that aid fat people...

Exactly. Some people eat a ton of junk food, and are still as skinny as a rake. Conversely, there are those who eat healthy and exercise, but are still chubby or fat. Subsequently, this is not some black and white issue.

 

[Akаsh]

where I come from, people know that they're , they know they have to exercise, but they just dont xd
we dont have much of fatshaming here either way...

Nice generalization and blanket statements here, you are pretending to be as though Fat people as a whole are bashed are shamed and not at all encouraged for a healthy life style, while lazy people are without exception are loved and encouraged and not at all cursed and shamed to working. (Especially since laziness is a conscious behavior .. people, especially Parents are less tolerant of it)

Also there is difference between chubby, fat, obese and morbidly obese ... and most Americans are not fat (which is medically acceptable healthy state) they are obese but tries to get a free pass in the name of #fatacceptance (but various diseases accepts them quite lovingly anyway). If you think a unhealthy life practices that only wastes resources is to be mollycoddled and sweet talked then you can shove it up your **** cavity .... Unhealthy life is NOT to be tolerated, because when they die a early death, their loved ones would be the ones grieving not these fat headed sjw. Before you bring up problems that cause fatness, remember that I am talking about obese people not fat people and that those are fat due to disease like hypothyroidism are not the majority and actually gets sympathy from close peers.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

It depends, do they have metabolic problems or just poor lifestyle and eating habits?

 

[Saikyokami]

Lazy fat people.
Nuff said.

 

[Yubel]

I've never seen my six pack.

For someone who likes to use sarcasm on the internet, you sure don't get sarcasm on the internet. Lol. I'll excuse the first paragraph because you probably didn't read what I wrote in the correct tone.

There is a fine line between the words reason and excuse.

You know what, it makes 0 difference, my uncle was overweight, smoked cigars every day and drunk like fish, he lived until he was 102, my aunt was thin, healthy and active, she died when she was 30, its all fate. And hospitals are not full of all fat people, there are people there of every size.

Drinking isn't good for you, smoking ext, fat wont get you any sooner, you could be stick thin, walk outside and get his by a bus.

That would be very discriminative, they don't have the right to tell people how to live their lives, they can't say, you're fat loose weight if the person doesn't want to. That's like saying, booze is unhealthy so we wont sell you a bottle of wine. you don't have that right, it's against a person's human rights. You can't force people to conform, thats the same as forcing everyone to be the same religion and besides, how can they tell the lazy fat people from those with medical problems?

Yet the people with fast metabolisms are still called skinny and scrawny freely? I know because i'm one of them,if you have a slow metabolism and I see you pigging out on fast-food every other day then you deserve to be called fat Lol. Live with the cards you were dealt.

While you acting like some social reformer on the internet don't understand what you saying ... You made a point using sarcasm (the lazy part), I was addressing that same point. I will forgive the general obliviousness.

Yes, lets discriminate, the majority of overweight people are usually like that due to emotional problems so shaming them will really help...

Tbh that's a good question.
