Obesity is NOT beautiful! :(

[jillian]

How superficial can a person be to fat shame another? I am not attracted to "fat" women but "bone yards" can get lost as well. As long as the person is happy with themselves they will attract healthy well adjusted mates. The rest can sit home alone banging on their keyboards spewing their hate while thinking to themselves how beautiful they are.

A shame

Do you have something to add to the topic? I don't care about your personal preferences in women. That is not the issue here. The issue here is that obesity costs Americans billions of dollars in health-related costs and it is not attractive.

ChrisL.:" The issue here is that obesity ... is not attractive."

I responded to the OP, you are looking to flame your own thread. I am not interested in your bastardized version of reality.

My "version" of reality? What is that? Obesity and being overweight are problems in America right now and cost us billions of dollars, and obese people are generally not attractive. Now, what is it that you disagree with so vehemently?

Your version of "reality" is the attractive or lack there of part. That's not reality, that's pure opinion.

that's the truth.

if she wanted to raise the health issue, perhaps there was a way to do that. but it seems people get offended when health is encouraged. they melt down when schools are made to provide healthier lunches. they got upset when they thought they couldn't get 30 ounces of sugar water at their local 7 Eleven, etc.

so the rant is a rant about people's looks. in that regard her reaction is pretty off the charts. i can't imagine being that fired up over something like that to create that kind of o/p.

Right, and I am supposed to post my own opinions. To me, obesity is not attractive. Some people might think it's attractive, I don't know. I don't really care. That's not really the point. The point is that it should not be encouraged because it is not healthy and it is very costly and the consequences are great.

You need to talk to some of those on the Patriots roster. There are some that weight over 285 lbs. that can't be healthy.

There is no rant, so I don't know what your problem is. I want to discuss the issue of obesity in America. If you can't handle that . . . there's the door. Bye!

It seems odd that people seem to be focusing in on my opinion of fat people rather than the HORRIBLE statistics and realities of the situation.

Maybe it's because of the way you presented the issue.

I disagree. I like a nice big gigantic ass. Look at skye

hahaaaaaa....I have a small ass but ..hey if it helps the narrative ...go ahead!!!

Fat women can be attractive. Admitting that is not "gloryfying" anything - it's just stating a fact.

To me it is no different than saying smokers can be attractive, so what is your point? The fact is that people do not have to "accept" being fat and that most of those who are overweight are more than capable of losing weight if they so choose.

but your being "tired" of hearing that fat women can be beautiful isn't talking about their health.

people should be encouraged to be healthy. but your "offense" at fat people is kind of an overreaction.

I disagree. I think it is perfectly justified reaction.

you obviously agree or you wouldn't have created the rant in the o/p.

we're bringing you back to reality.

Rant? It's not a rant. It's just facts. I posted the statistics. What are you arguing about? My opinion on how fat people look? What does that matter?

No disrespect however, you stated that Obesity is not Beautiful. You made it matter.

How did I present it? I stated that obesity is not beautiful. Now, do you want to focus on the facts, or are you going to keep whining about MY opinion on fat people. I don't think fat is attractive. That is my opinion. Deal with it.

i'm sorry you can't tolerate that your o/p is simply a rant about the fact that fat women's looks offend you. and more than a couple of us are making the same observation. so if you left the wrong impression, that's on you, i'd say.

but no, i don't have any reason not to post. if you can't handle comments, maybe you should step away from the computer. i was being as polite to you as i could under the circumstances. *shrug*

Am I not entitled to my opinion about obesity? To me it is not beautiful at all. Like I said, if people want to be offended over my opinions, that's fine. It really makes no difference to me. If they are going to try to attack me over my opinions that is another issue entirely.

Well if I couldn't tolerate it, I wouldn't ever be going out of my house. I don't need to step away from the computer. This forum is to express ourselves and our opinions on topics. If you don't like my opinion, that is really not my issue. It affects me in no way whatsoever actually.

Christine - 2 points.

1 as much as you think it's unhealthy to accept you can't do anything except start a exercise video or start a non profit promoting healthy educational lifestyles.

With all the people contradicting unhealthy weight lifestyles you'll have others on the opposite side of the isle. It's called freed speech. A constitutional law in the bill of rights.

2 no law against promoting free choice to support an alternative lifestyle. That goes against federal law of the highest.

This discussion is mute.

It's a real picture, of a real woman, who happens to be a model. No one can force you to think period.

But it is certainly open to criticism.

 

[ChrisL]

In my opinion, obesity is not beautiful and is unattractive. Okay? That's my opinion. If you think obesity is beautiful, that is fine. I won't attack you for that. However, it is NOT healthy and it is very costly to the American public, and these costs will rise as these children get older and more obese and have more health issues.

Exactly. It's your opinion. It's how you presented the issue - not emphasizing health, but emphasizing your disgust. If you wanted the conversation to take a different path, you should have presented it differently.

I agree with the premise.
Its like the way society treats transsexuals. It is NOT normal.

'Normal' is subjective. Are tribes in Africa who regard fat women as attractive. So much so they fatten up normal women before their weddings.

Forced to Be Fat

"In Mauritania, where big is beautiful and stretch marks are sexy, young girls are brutally force-fed a diet of up to 16,000 calories a day — more than four times that of a male bodybuilder — to prepare them for marriage."

And even here in the US not so long ago...

it was a dark and stormy night;, Back When Thin Wasn’t In: 8 Vintage Weight Gain...

Mental problems aren't normal.

Anxiety is normal and is a mental problem the EVERY BODY experiences. Same with depression. Your wrong. They are very normal.

Then it's photo shopped to hell. Whatever, I don't care. I don't find obesity to be an appealing physical quality. I don't care if you don't like it. I will express MY opinions on subjects and they will not always match yours.

1 in 5 Americans have some kind of mental illness. That's over 60 million. Sounds pretty normal to me.

Wrong. All humans have mental problems 100%
