Not staying on topic here better report yourself
Whether or not you "like" a particular fat person (who you don't even REALLY know much about personally), is not relevant in any way to this discussion.
It certainly is. It's as relevant as your personal loathing of fat people. You don't control the discussion kiddo.
This thread is in Zone 3 - flaming and of topic, within reason are not against the rules. When respond in kind, then you are also partaking of the cat fight. So pick your lane.

I don't "loathe" them. Just because I find fat gross and the bad habit disgusting does not mean I "loathe" them. Unless a person gives me a reason to loathe them, I don't just because they are lazy or out of shape.

I do control the discussion because it is my topic of choosing. This is the topic that I wish to discuss, obesity. Not particular people.

I like chicken in chili also.
And I also like beef, I only eat it though 2-3 times a month. But when I do...it's all out. No 90% or higher for me...it's the good stuff. 80/20
But usually I buy a high quality porterhouse. Eat the whole d*mn thing.
You can do that if you exercise, eat well normally...a few times a month pig out.
Porterhouse is my favorite cut!

I just said whyYou tacitly did.It was a questionQuote the post where I said being "emaciated is fashionable."
No. You said I backpedalled somehow and then posted this as your example. Lol. good grief.
Did WHAT? What are you talking about? What is your major malfunction now? The point of the thread is that obesity is NOT beautiful. It is an unhealthy medical condition. Is there something about that statement that you disagree with and why?
Sorry, you didn't. I am reading your posts above right now. Now, as I've told you, if you don't have anything to discuss, then you should go do something else because you are wasting my time. I want to discuss the topic of obesity. That is why I started this thread.
Not according to research.

What health problems are linked to obesity?
Compared to adults with normal weight, adults with a BMI greater than 30 are more likely to be diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, stroke, high cholesterol, gout, osteoarthritis, sleep problems, asthma, skin conditions and some types of cancer.
In June 1998 the American Heart Association announced that it was upgrading obesity to a ‘major risk factor’ for CHD. Obesity also is an important causal factor in type 2 diabetes, and it complicates management of the disease, making treatment less effective.
Psychological disorders which obesity may trigger include depression, eating disorders, distorted body image, and low self-esteem.
Obese people have been found several times to have higher rates of depression. For example, David A. Kats, MD and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison assessed quality of life in 2,931 patients with chronic health conditions including obesity. They found that clinical depression was highest in very obese participants (BMI over 35).
Other researchers also have identified an increase in depressive symptoms in very obese people. Evidence from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study indicates that clinically significant depression is three to four times higher in severely obese individuals than in similar non-obese individuals.
“Depression on a level indicating psychiatric morbidity was more often seen in the obese,” the authors, Professor Marianne Sullivan and her team from Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden wrote in a journal article. They reported that the depression scores for obese people were as bad as, or worse than, those for patients with chronic pain.

That's where the food industry marketing comes in - bigger and more - super size it. I have a set of dishes from my Grandmother, and one from when I got married. My grandmother's dinner plates are the size of my lunch plates. When I looked at china at a store for someone's wedding - the dinner plates were the size of chargers. My grandmother's cereal bowls are about 1.5 - 2 cups. New cereal bowls are 4 cups or so. Is it any wonder we're a fat nation? Look what people contend with.
And it's marketed to us very cleverly: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html?_r=0
So is super thinness.
