I’m sure illegal immigrants costs us more than morning obese people do.

Not even close - I can’t remember the actual numbers, i’ll need to look, but I worked on something a couple of years ago about healthcare costs across the spectrum. Direct healthcare costs related to obesity were almost $200 Billion (with a B) per year and healthcare costs incurred by illegal aliens was around $30 Billion, mostly emergency care.

Edit - those costs are direct costs of actual care - the cost of loss of productivity due to illness was more than 30 Billion. The cost of fatness is staggering.

Just went. The people on scooters is out of control. If you can’t walk you shouldn’t be there. Even saw people on scooters with their “service” dogs walking with them

Same here. You see EVERYTHING there. I mean EVERYTHING

You would think so, but fat people go to the doctor often and take multiple expensive medications. We’ve all seen the 350 lb’er with a gallon ziplock bag full of medicine waiting for the doctor. Additionally, They get numerous expensive procedures paid for by insurance including Botox injections to halt their nasty fattie sweating. Knee replacements, hip replacements, the list goes on and on. The human body is not designed to carry an extra
100 lbs., it’s just not. I don’t care what prog media is trying to push.

Edit - can you imagine the costs associated with giving blanket healthcare to illegals? It seems a large percentage of them are fat. In addition to regular healthcare, we’d be paying for their fat related care. It would bankrupt this country.

This goes hand in hand with the dating app bullshite.

From Paul Carter:

I've written several articles about the obesity problem, and without fail, they either get met with a standing ovation or the hatred intensity of 10,000 suns.

Clearly this is a very emotional issue for the great majority of people. And any time an issue becomes an overly emotional one, then logic and facts and even common sense tends to go right out the window. Just ask some dude who actually thinks that deadlifts are a back exercise.
-
But to go on here, let's deal with the common sense part first.
-
People get overweight from eating too much. That's it. That's all. Even in rare medical conditions that people like to bring up, those too can be managed by managing energy balance. -
Genes are often brought up as well. But the fact is, obesity has become an epidemic only in the last few decades. If it was a genetic issue then we'd have seen obesity as a problem in direct correlation with certain genealogy. But there's no pattern. There's no "obesity gene". It's a good bet your ancestors were in fact, not obese.
-
In countries where food is more scarce, there is no obesity issue. Zero. 100% of the time, where there's less food there's no obesity. In this case, the cause and correlation is 100% factual.
-
And now, unfortunately, we're living in a time where it's considered fat shaming if you talk about the facts related to obesity, like how it's directly connected to various cancers, and type II diabetes.
-
Fat activism is a plague, and one that goes out of its way in order to suppress legitimate medical findings and information in order to further the "healthy at every size" movement. Which does far more damage because it is not helping people to actually confront reality. Which is this.....
-
YOU CANNOT BE HEALTHY AT EVERY SIZE. If you're obese, your health will crumble, and you'll die due to a obesity related disease. This isn't fat shaming. This is fact.
-
Don't be a continued part of the problem. Be a part of the solution.

Florida isnt that bad. I think the sun and warmth nearly year round keeps people a little more in shape. Especially younger. Not many fat people on UF campus. Especially females.

Friend of mine can’t get his wife pregnant cause he is too overweight. He has to be 500 lbs. I’m not sure why he is so big though cause he farms and does dirt work and works his arse off. Granted he doesn’t eat healthy food but he doesn’t overeat either. Has to be a health issue for him

Great. This thread again. Productive.

It's the standard American diet. Big Gulps of soda and such.

This is true. I just got off of a Royal Caribbean cruise with 4,000 passengers. 20 years ago when I went of my first cruise, 10's were a dime a dozen. This time I doubt there were a dozen dimes on that she entire ship.
