PING!

I’m overweight, so sue me.

[Jeff Chandler]

The second biggest culprit: HUNGER!

Raise food prices !

Let’s sacrifice algore to the global warming gods........

Ted Kennedy comes to mind.

They could say the same thing about immigrants. If the immigrants didn’t migrate they’d be stuck in their home country consuming less food, less fuel and they wouldn’t be obese.

[Vaquero]

Noblesse obese.

Obese people are contributing to the world food crisis and climate change, experts say.

Anything published in the UK can be considered the death rattle of a lost society, and dismissed with contempt.

But in the spirit of good sportsmanship, I will help their article, by summarizing the thought:

"Put fat people on the trains to the Smokers' Camps", is that it? Do I win?

[MortMan]

I thought it was the smokers!?! /sarc

[ProfoundMan]

Ping-a-roo Eric. I suspect this will come in handy for you and your excellent nanny state ping list.

“Obese people are contributing to the world food crisis and climate change, experts say.”

I thought everybody, and particularly the United States, was responsible for global warming.

One wonders what the ideal citizen might look like to these folks. Let’s see - skinny, doesn’t move around, doesn’t eat anything, doesn’t use any fossil fuel for entertainment, doesn’t heat his or her house, doesn’t exhale deadly carbon dioxide - I know! A corpse.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Wait. I thought that poor people and minorities were more likely to be obese.

So poor people and minorities cause climate change?

[mysterio]

If obese people want to see the future, look at what has been done to smokers for 20 years. The machine created to torture smokers will now be used on you.

[ChiMark]

Marxism on the march!

[maine-iac7]

prepared foods, HFCS, junk fed to kids in school lunches, etc, contribute to obesity -

first, go after the chemical companies that load our foods with poisons -

I ‘do’ organic as much as possible, eat NOTHING with HFCS -or things I can't pronounce in them.

I grow veggies and buy from local farmers and otherwise try to eat foods like I grew up with on a little farm in the forests of Maine -

Food manufacturers are intent on one thing: MONEY (and the FDA is in bed with them) - and that includes lots of chemicals to prolong shelf-life = which reduces the consumers “shelf-life”...

Bottom line: we need to take charge of our life/health. We are the only ones, ultimately, who give a rats rump about us.

[Gator113]

Ok, fine, blah, blah, blah.

It’s Friday, so I am still going to have a steak tonight, just as I will next Friday and the next, and the next, and the next and so on..... so there.

Let's say you run a marathon. You consume about 3,000 calories to do this. All the time you are exhaling carbon dioxide and producing water vapor and methane.

Wouldn't the environmentally sensible thing be to stay home and watch tv?

Astronomers from UK Universities working with colleagues from Germany and Australia have calculated that the Universe is actually twice as bright as previously thought.

Fat people are insulated by fat. This makes them warmer in the winter without using heating oil. Consequently, they consume less energy and save the planet.
