not specifically to you but ive done some reading on this and many believe that the fat and unhealthy are actually cheaper in the long run. it becomes very expensive to keep a person living to 90 years old or so. its better for people to die around 60, economically

Slim or fat, you're going to cost money as you age and progress towards death. The fat ones who die in their 60s likely save money in the long run. The slim ones with lingering issues into their late 80s and beyond might cost more.


ya whether or not fatties cost us more on average is debatable

keeping an old, healthy person alive is costly af too

So 40lbs quantifies "fat as hell"?

Add 40 lbs of arse to anyone shorter than 6'5" and you will completely change how they feel in their day to day life.

Let's go back in time to the mid-1980s - back then, Louisiana (and Mississippi, for that matter) was consistently fattest or second fattest state most years. That's true today, as well by the way.

Also, back then, Colorado was consistently one of the 3 skinniest states (if they weren't consistently #1). Stay with me: Colorado in 2017 is FATTER than Louisiana was in 1987.

This attitude right here is why this country is so fat. "Only 40 pounds overweight? No big deal"

Hmm, interesting. Well, F em. J/k. I'm sure there are counterpoints to that data set, like the overall costs of keeping unhealthy people alive until 60. But still very interesting.

I do care even without any direct or indirect financial burden though. I hate to see people fat and inactive and believing that it's "genetics" or ok for them.

I quote the CO/MS stats a lot. It's hard to let that sink in, indeed.

This took me a second but you are saying that even though Colorado in 2017 is one of the more fit states, it's still fatter overall than Louisiana was in 1987?

You haven’t worked in an open office environment until you hear a woman eat dill pickle chips at 8AM for breakfast.

So glad I work from home now.

If more people ate more fried food (not in flour or corn batter and in good oil) and mayo made from olive/avocado oil, and less bread, juice and pasta (and of course other sugary foods), then we'd have a lot more skinnies to shame.

Most people I know are normal size.

But the older I get the harder I have to work to keep it that way.

Settle down Francis. Eat a little more, my man, maybe you'll feel better.
