Thyroid problems, cushings syndrome, tumors on the pituitary gland.
In fact in autopsies, one out of five people have a tumor on the pituitary gland that went un noticed.This also can happen when there are tumors on the adrenal glands. It messes with the metabolic system, first. Many people could have major hormone secretions that they don't know about, most doctors don't know to look for it.
Like the PP said, steroids make you gain weight, and they make you want to it. And it is almost impossible to ignore.

Of course when you live in a place where there is no food available you don't gain weight. They also don't have medical care and checkups and most people are dead and buried before they even have a chance to gain weight.


Well this is of course mostly nonsense but it's exactly the kind of crapola that enables fat people to believe they are victims and condemn themselves to an early, uncomfortable and embarrassing death.

Have another doughnut.

Have another doughnut? Be careful, your maturity is showing.

I am sure all the endocrinologists out there would love to know that you have it all figured out and they can start another career now.

Seems your in a perfect mental, social and physical health that you attack people right up front, and assume you understand the welfare and health status of an entire population of people.

And you seem to be shortening your own lifeline by damning and condemning an entire population, for reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with you.

And since you can't seem to formulate a real reason for your hositilty,or give a reasonable reply, all you can do is give the ever over educated response of: have another doughnut.


I could go on and get all analytical on you and say that people don't like in others what they don't like about themselves. Maybe the ugliness you perceive on their outside is what you feel on the inside?

But I am sure your response is going to be, I dunno...go suck an egg?


Sorry, your gonna have to do better then that to be taken seriously.

You think this is fair? Here in the UK we pay taxes and National Insurance which go towards the National Health Service. The NHS has to rent extra large beds and equipment for obese people at £100+ a day. All this will do is push the price up for everyone else. I PAY to go to the gym, I am not one of these guys that stand there kissing my muscles and flexing in the mirror either. Why should I, we have to pay for people who do not look after themselves. Surely if you are able enough to get on a plane to go on holiday you are able to get off your arse and do some execise.

No, watching telly and stuffing your face is easier.

CoffinFeeder,

Good one. Heart of gold there. Truely inspiring. You will begrudge a fellow passenger who paid the same amount the right to put their seat back but offer a free seat, probable the window one to someone for free because they abuse their body. Top bloke!. I love it.

Thank you for the morning giggle.

Now off to Dunkin' for my morning fix.

[BTW, your post may have been taken more seriously if you cut down a little on the rhetoric and actually confine yourself to commenting on something you either

a) have a smattering of knowlege about
b) point us in the direction of some evidence

But the rants are good for a laugh, and humor is the best medicine after all]

I'm completely serious here, but I'd be happy for a fat person to get two seats if they paid for them. They usually smell bad due to the sweat that constantly pours from them. Now - is that a good thing? Would you complain if a skinny person stank? I would. So smell is one issue and hygiene can be controlled by carrying a deodorant.

We didn't used to have fat people by the millions. We had different food back then and no welfare either. It's not genetic 99% of the time, it's bad management and bad eating habits. I belong to a church where a heap of people are Pacific Islanders - they are mostly thin. The churches that are around us are full of fat lazy people. Why aren't ours? - because they are taught to eat right, exercize and work for a living and that's all their is to it because I have seen it for myself.

I do feel sorry for some fat people and wonder what kind of life they might have if they shed the goopy stuff. My God, some of them might even begin to play with their kids!!

And I call them fat because they are. Call something for what it is. Gays are homosexual, a homocide is a murder, obese are fat, lawyers are greedy, deferred success is failure, 'let go' is fired.

And to those who are above normal weight for their height or worse (fat) remember that someone with Autodysomophobia or Claustrophobia or more appropriatly.. Cacomorphobia, might want your seat for free on their next flight! And being something they can't control, they should have your seat for free!!

Any complaints anyone?
