Every fat person should train for a mile run at under 5 minutes. It is all laziness. It has nothing to do with glands or heredity. One should get off one’s ass and eat bowls of steam for dinner instead of potatoes and fried chicken or I have no pity at all.

Alright. Let’s be honest.

What percentage of fat people are fat because it has nothing to do with their lifestyle and eating habits?

When you see a very fat person that appears ambulatory buying a huge amount of groceries of crappy food, why shouldn’t the initial normal reaction be of disgust?

Most fat people are fat because of their choices. Some people have glandular issues but often those glandular issues get worse or affect other glands, because they’re feeding them by getting fatter. Many of them are not exercising and eat poorly and eat way too much than they need.

Why shouldn’t there be a stigma. For God’s sake the very same libtards who b1tch at what we eat and qhat quantities of soft drinks we drink, are pissing and moaning people look at fat people negatively.

I don’t need a g-damn nanny state armchair quarterbacking my world view and what I feel about other people. G-damn reset button is gonna be hit pretty damn soon.

I know of a true story about a fat warthog. Her HS classmates even teased her and stated “you are fat and ugly and you’ll be nothing when you graduate.” Well, that fat and ugly toad turned into Cindy Crawford.

Because she worked at it. These fat people make me sick. When I see a fat woman coming toward me , I say to myself “Oh my God, She is coming toward me”.

Why doesn’t someone test me on what I smell when I see a Leftist?

A ...slow.......deliberate....decline. The LA Slime has not a clue what ails this worthless rag. Good for them, their imminent and unpreventable demise still cannot daze or bother their management. Keep doing what you are doing, feels good.

Really? You are threatened by fat people? What a pathetic way to go through life. Learn to ignore them. They won’t eat you.

In a very fundamental sense, people get fat because they take in more calories than they use.

There may be all kinds of things—hormones, faulty neurotransmitter pathways, etc., causing people to want to eat more than they need. And it can be very difficult to control the quantity of food one eats when every time an effort is made to cut back, the body sends out hunger hormones.

However, no matter what kinds of signals the body sends out to keep overweight people eating, it still comes down to the fact that eating more calories than one needs causes weight gain.

Are you also handing out next weeks lotto numbers with your god-like knowlege?

You act like you have the right answer for everyone. You aren't a real prophet with all-knowing vision. More like a false prophet, saying you have the only answer.

I never walk behind fat people. Especially the ones who lean over onto a shopping cart and waddle while shopping.

There are people with different metabolisms. Some people can eat 4000 calories a day and not gain a pound. I worked out with this Asian guy who wanted to pump up. He ate a tremendous amount of food and took supplements to boot He estimated he was eating 4-5K cals a day. He never gained much weigh at all and when he stopped working out he lost weight! If I ate like him I would weigh 400 pounds. So people are different.

And yet what if people actually do smell gross substances when looking at a photo of Michael Moore?

Certainly Michael Moore can provoke feelings of disgust in any normal human being.
