To be honest I don't know if it had anything to do with obesity or not. Just basing that off of a former coworker that gained 150+ pounds after having his removed.

Most LSU almuni who attend football/baseball games are borderline obese. Prob the fattest fanbase in the country.

this is called fat logic

it's what fat people say to shift the blame for their fatness away from their inability to control their eating onto a "condishun"

This thread has made me depressed. I am going to go eat until I feel better.

The only condition they usually have is addiction to sugar. I think many people still don't realize how fricking terrible refined sugar is for us.

Are you sure they didn't have anything else wrong with them besides just being fat?

Based off of the $50 of food in their hands, I doubt they did. I understand that in some cases, it is a disability. I've learned a lot about the ADA in the past 6 months because it was something our family did not have to worry about before last year. I also realized that a lot of people like to take advantage of the system at sporting events because they're just lazy.

For 10% probably.
For 90%, "eat less and exercise fat asses."

I ghost wrote a diet book for a prominent gastroenterologist here in Orlando. He estimates that up to 99 percent of all obesity is caused strictly by overeating and lack of exercise.

Only if it has been medically proven that the person in question has a glandular problem. They all would like for you to believe this though.

They certainly look disabled, but not physically.

Blame it on the pregame tailgate, but apparently you have never been to a game at Bama.

That's fair

Even if it takes more effort, an ideal bodyweight is definitely achievable.

I guess I'm just an enabler.. It's a "condishun"

If anyone should be standing it should be obese people.

Hell no, it's not a disability.

As someone who used to weigh 330 lbs, I can assure you it sucks arse, but is in no way a disability.

I was disgusted with myself, but I didn't know I was obese! Was .8 pounds over.

I've lost 37 pounds and I'm still in the overweight category. Dang!

Need to lose 4 more to get into "normal" range.
