“Hitler proved with out a doubt, if you lock people up and work them hard and feed them very little, 100% of them will lose weight.”

My grandmother survived Hitler's camps and Stalin's holodomor starvation campaign. She always said the fat people were the first to starve, often while still fat. Or they were killed right away for not keeping up with the work load. The skeleton people you see in photos are unlikely to be formerly fat people.

I think it's because the stored fat in your body doesn't provide all the nutrients one needs to live. That's why you always burn muscle while starving. Eventually your heart will get eaten away. And if you are fat, the heart will fail much earlier.

Lesson learned - being fat it not a substitute for storing food.

The smokers told us this was coming.

Yep. That was the socialist nanny’s nose under the tent of individual freedom. They are coming after the fatties, the handicapped and elderly next. They will start taking fat children away from their parents and putting them into gay foster homes for their health. LOL

Oh brother. A lot of idiots will love it because “we don’t want to have to pay in the collective for fat people disease...and on and on.”

NBC = fat police? My word, they are rather presumptuous aren't they.
