why are people becoming so fat that they look like a fat hog these days

I've noticed that where McD's and other fast food joints have sprung up that fatty people are becoming the norm. In Asia, because of rice some people become very fat, but now Asians are showing there fatness in all time highs. Diabetes is epidepemic here. One out of 4 over the age of 70 is borderline with diabetes here. Lots of has to do with alcohol though and rice and white bread.

Rather be a fat hog than be a shallow person who can't look past what someone visually looks like.



Also this thread should perhaps be in Rant.

While the OP is rather blunt with his observations, the health implications of being morbidly obese are not the result of people being shallow.

The problem will, like the obese, only get bigger.

Lack of exercise , you can eat what you want as long as you do enough to burn the calories you consume but peoples sedentary lifestyles make people fat.

I find most people odd, and I don't understand their reasoning. I judge on intellect, not on how many protons/electrons it takes to make you the 3 dimensional human being that you are.

I've been here in Asia since the early 70's and I remember that fat people were fat, that is a fact, but today, there is a different trend on what fat and obesity means here. Woman are so fat that they have to take the elevator at the train stations, they can't even walk up the stairs.
Men, well, their bellies are about as round as Santa Claus these days. It really starting to be a real joke　to watch watch fat people take two sets in the trains these days.

Yeah, I think Americans eat 4 donuts and 2 cups of coffee before getting off to work. I was in America a few years ago and at the international airports, I begun to wonder, how can these fat women actually use the toilets there, let alone get in threw the doors.

Second of these in as many days. It was suggested in the other thread that metabolic rates were fantasy. I disagree. I eat horribly. I gorge based on what my tummy and taste buds want. Never put on any weight since I was a late teen and stopped growing. I live a fairly active life, but that's not always the case. I could sit on my arse and eat lard all day and not put on weight. I definitely have a faster metabolism than most.

I think most people seem to use larger people to cast off their own self-esteem issues.

There are also other issues which come into play - physical disability, Polycystic Ovaries, Endometriosis (to a point), and so on.

Not everything has to do with people eating too much junk food.

And for those that do, have a think about why that might be so? Perhaps people are time poor because the work long hours to spend time prepping healthier meals, or perhaps they have a genuine eating disorder and don't need people shaming them further for it - prompting more overeating.

fuark that I'd have to run every day, all day. to maccas, probly.

Why can't they invent a cheeseburger that makes you lose weight? They can send a car to mars, and cure cancer, but not make fat burning burgers... something is wrong with it all.

They don't go threw them, they throw them.

Me though, I go through them and then throw them. I'm bad like that.

If you gain weight, you eat too much.
