Dude, why are you so fixated on fatties?
Seriously, you do yourself a discredit in contrast to other good thread material.

I noticed the other day that mannequins have become fat - I’m serious check it out next time you’re at a department store. There are mannequins with fat arms and asses. Fat is the new normal we are doomed.

Because you're going to have diabetes and heart problems and rack up 100k in medical bills.

Wake up at 630am
Get ready.
Leave house at 7am.
Stop at Fast Food Restaurant and order 500 calories of food.
Commute 1 hour to work sitting in a car listening to political radio that raises your blood pressure.
Get to work. Rush inside from parking lot. You have seniority, so you no longer have to park far away. You're right next to the door.
Ride elevator to office.
Sit in cubicle. Comfy chair. Picture of family next to computer screen. Work for two hours.
Grab a quick 200 calorie snack before the morning meeting.
Sit in morning meeting for 45 minutes.
Take 15 minute break where you sit and talk to colleague.
Work two more hours at computer screen, sitting in comfy chair.
Take lunch break. Meet coworkers or friends at new hot local restaurant. Eat 1000 calories of food.
Return to work. Work 2 hours in front of computer screen.
Drink a 100 calorie energy drink because you're tired.
Attend afternoon meeting for 45 minutes.
Take 15 minute break where you sit and check sports message boards.
Work fro 2 hours in front of computer screen.
Walk slowly to car. You feel tired. It's now 5 o'clock.
Commute 1 hour to home listening to political talk radio that raises your blood pressure.
Eat 1000 calorie dinner. Talk to wife and kids.
Change into comfortable clothes. Yawn and feel tired. It's now 7 o'clock.
Watch TV for three hours. Eat a 300 calorie bowl of ice cream.
Go to bed. Look at phone for an hour. Fail to recognize that you ate 2800 calories that day.
Sleep until the next day. Repeat everyday until Saturday when you need a "break" from the work week. Sit all day watching sports. Maybe do an hour or two of yardwork and act like you've exhausted yourself more than anyone else in the house. Take a nap. Wake up on Sunday and sit in church. Go to sit-down lunch with family and church friends. Go to junior's basketball game and sit in stands and watch. Watch more sports from your couch. Watch TV afterwards.
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Never before in American history has it been controversial to eat a burger. Now people act like it's some fricking scandal to drink a regular coke.
I actually agree with this.
For years, McDonalds was painted as the worst possible food on earth. Nutrition wise, sure it isn't great. But you can get certain items at McDonalds for less calories than many home-cooked meals.
The issue is partially WHAT people are eating, but far more so HOW MUCH they're eating. Two regular burgers from McDonalds is 500 calories. That is a perfectly reasonable calorie amount for the average person. The issue is when people head to McDonalds and order 3-4 entree items, plus fries.
I follow a weight-loss forum because it is mostly comprised of meal ideas that I jot down. In the discussion threads, I notice one of the most common topics for these people is "volume/binge eating". These people would regularly order a large takeout pizza on a Friday night and EAT THE ENTIRE THING. That is the issue. Is pizza healthy? Nah. But two slices of delivery pizza is ~500 calories. Again, not unreasonable for occasions when you are really craving the bad stuff.
People getting snobby and sticking their nose into others' business if they're eating a reasonable portion of something "bad" are doing more harm than good. Anyone who understands calories in < calories out understands that they can sometimes have candy or junk food as long as it fits into their daily total.

For some people eating 500 calories will essentially make them gain a pound. It's all about how fast your metabolism runs due to genetics

100% agree with this.
And binge eating is a huge issue for me. If you analyzed my regular diet, you'd see that I'm probably damn near science's version of perfect health. But I get 500-1000 extra calories a day from a binge eating moment. Like today after my healthy lunch, I had a ginger cookie. Then two more ginger cookies. Then five Trader Joe's Christmas Jo-Jo's cookies. Then I melted some chocolate chips into a handful of marshmallows and spread it on graham crackers. Then had a glass of milk. And finally grabbed a handful of M&M's. It's a serious issue and why I'm 20 pounds overweight.
It'd be a lot more if I didn't run 20-25 miles a week and walk my dog a mile every night.

In my office, the split is about 60/40 of those who are what's considered overweight and those of us who run and workout on a regular basis. I'm 57 and run 5 days a week and do some sort of workout (crunches/pushups) 6-7 days a week. The only thing I don't do is eat overly healthy. I tell people I run and workout so I can eat whatever I want which is pretty much the truth.

Global cost of obesity-related illness to hit $1.2tn a year from 2025
quote:
The cost of treating ill health caused by obesity around the world will top $1.2tn every year from 2025 unless more is done to check the rapidly worsening epidemic, according to new expert estimates.
Obesity and smoking are the two main drivers behind the soaring numbers of cancers, heart attacks, strokes and diabetes worldwide, grouped together officially as non-communicable diseases. They are the biggest killers of the modern world.
The United States faces by far the biggest treatment bill, with a rise from $325bn per year in 2014 to $555bn in just eight years’ time, partly because of the high cost of medical care in the US. But all countries are looking at a very steep rise in costs that will be unaffordable for most. In the UK, the bill is set to rise from $19bn to $31bn per year in 2025. The NHS chief executive, Simon Stevens, has already warned that obesity threatens to bankrupt the NHS.

Who cares???????
Being fat is one of the unhealthiest things a human can do to themselves.
Being incredibly unhealthy is a drain on our society in several ways.
Believe it or not, that shite negatively impacts everyone when so many people are so over-weight.
How about some stats?:
- More than 1 in 3 adults in the US are OBESE.
- More than 1 in 2 adults in the US are overweight.
- More than 1 in 13 adults in the US have EXTREME OBESITY.
- More than 1 in 6 children in the US are OBESE.
- The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars; the medical costs for people who have obesity were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight
- Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death.

If you’re a male lighter than 200 lbs, you need to gain some weight, unless you’re 5’6 or something.

i care. the obesity epidemic is just getting started. whether we have universal government health care, socialized medicine, single-payer, regular ole insurance system or pay-as-you-go health care, if everyone is fat and unhealthy, then it puts me and my loved ones at risk. Not like a communicable disease, but due to the pressures it puts on the system.
At the very least, I'm paying for part of the treatment of a lot of completely preventable disease.
Diabetes rates are soaring. And scientists have made some close ties between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia (look up "Type III Diabetes"). Not to mention the obvious CVD issues with visceral fat, insulin spikes, scarred arteries, etc.
And most of this is perpetuated by idiotic Standard American Diet guidelines that tell us to limit fatty foods and which consider a lot of sugar-laden foods "healthy." So, I care about the wholesale deception of the population.
eta: what Caterpillar said too.
