re: We should promote fat shaming in this country

Italy Italian food is not Olive Garden. Pasta is usually served as a side dish, in much smaller portions. The French cook everything in butter and are famous for bread and pastries, but they're low on that list as well. Mostly due to portion sizes and physical activity.

Yes we should in a directive way.


Can you believe there are "Fat-Activists" out there who speak of "thin privilege"?


They advocate for what is the #1 Killer of Americans, even over Cancer.

Therefore these people are Literally, yes Literally, worse than Cancer.

You're going to the wrong restaurants.

I find it very easy to eat healthy when eating out...but I also don't eat out at chain restaurants or fast food.

Bottom line it's not the eating out part...it's the choice of where and what you're eating.

You’re not understanding the depth of this issue and why it’s everywhere. It’s a conditioning, and it’s your food choices. There are a handful of places that truly offer healthy options, local or chain, and still there is the portion issue to contend with. It’s not that you can’t eat healthy, but that your options are few and far between, and not convenient in keeping with our fast paced hurried up lifestyles, so it takes a lot of effort and planning to eat out healthy, and the point of this is not really you or me, but America as a whole and our fat, diabetes, and obesity. Eating a tuna sandwich is a moot point when it’s swimming in Mayo and in a buttery croissant. Eating a salad is a moot point when it’s swimming in fat. Eating arse loads of food because we are conditioned to expect arse loads of food on our plates or we are getting ripped off is a conditioning. Locals do it just as chains do, and unless you’re frequenting a local with food principles geared toward a healthy diet and cooking in house, you’re going to end up eating quite similar to what you get at a chain, and while you may be contributing back more to the local economy, you’re not necessarily eating any healthier because you’re eating very similar product provided by the same purveyors and cooked to what America’s likes to eat, and this sells... high fat, heavy of the salt and sugar, and lots of carbs.

Being overweight is wrong even from a religous viewpoint. Most preachers will stand on the pulpit and scream how alcohol, sex (out of wedlock), and a hundred other things are sinful but not once have I ever heard one speak about glutony. Maybe because a lot of them dont like calling the kettle black...I don't know. It's becoming socially acceptable the same as homosexuals, open relationships, etc.

All personal choice.

The two things I eat/drink M-F that are bad is a monster zero and a slice of wheat banana nut bread. Everything else is a legume, egg, or lean meat.

It's really a mental game more than a physical one.

It's ALL mental. Intermittent fasting is just a natural part of my life now. I see fatties talking about how they're hungry at 4:00 because they haven't eaten since breakfast. You don't even need to eat everyday. It's actually really good for your body to do a 24 fast ever couple of weeks. Lunch to lunch or breakfast to breakfast.

I'm going to make a thread about fasting. People are really dumb when it comes to eating.

And I said as much when I said we determine what our options are by what sells and they serve in restaurants because of those choices. Of course it’s personal choice. It’s those choices that are evident in the options you have before you, and the reason they’re so few is due to those personal choices.

That’s not solving the problem though, and doesn’t address the fat problem in America, which is truly just addiction and lifestyle. For someone who has time and ability to pick and choose where they eat every day, it’s a lot easier than someone who doesn’t have that time or options. That’s why I said its best to cook at home and bring food with you to work so you can control that rather than relying on your options in eating out which are usually pretty pathetic.
