what the **** is that supposed to mean?!
yours words make no sense, learn to look over your comment before you post it you dumb ****! “they wouldn’t be destroyed soo much” up your vocab you preschooler.
wow the world is going to hell
Well to reverse obesity, you should only eat 3 times a day and have plenty of fish, and only eat fattening food once a week and get plenty of exercise. Swimming in my opinion is the best but some are too overweight to swim. If so try going very slow on a treadmill and slowly working your way faster. don’t over do it though, if you feel sore, rest a day.
CorazonMedia, I heard about the film I haven’t seen it yet in SC. I do know it is about Jeremy and was morbidly obese. He eventually died, but he was such a special guy and had a zest for life. He is missed!~ Thanks for letting the public be aware of the documentary. Fat people are real people too with real feelings. It’s sad.
I wish you the courage and the “want to”, to continue to help yourself. You have a lot to live for. Good luck!~
wow youre a *******!!
omg all the fat people should be taxed to use our streets and paths and stores that way they wouldnt be destroyed soo much
Put The Fork In The Fat Lady Simple
put the fuckers down
haaa u people write to much stuff no ones gnna read it
You know the fact that someone from Liverpool is arguing the existence of Capitalism in Canada with a Canadian who lives in the nation’s capital and sees what is going on here is funny. Not only does it show your arrogance but tells me I should save my energy to discuss issues with someone a little more educated but thanks for the conversation.
People eat so much because of mostly emotions and just thinking about food.
i was hesitant to say given the nature of the argument, but i am of average weight.
i apologize for being militant against ignorance.
you know, the thing holding us back from reaching utopia. yeah that.
canada is far from being as capitalistic as the us.
yeah, youre fucking retarded
you could say all that for whatever reason, or you could try for a rebuttal.
for the record, i live in liverpool, and
Judging from your attempt to sound intelligent and the defensive,immature attitude (who tries to prove a point by calling someone a “fucking retard”?)I’m guessing you are an American who “suffers” from Obesity.
I actually do live in a malignantly capitalistic country as well. It’s called Canada. You may have heard of it. We’re the country you people are close to but know very little about. We are exposed to the same BS you are but don’t seem to have as many cases of these “chemical reactions”.
Let’s just agree to disagree. I see your point, but think you are wrong, and you think I am wrong. Good day!
its not as bad in other countries because other countries dont have the same stimuli.
if other countries were as malignantly capitalistic, obesity would be as prominent.
our decisions are the products of three variables. neurochemical state, experience(memory), and environment. none of which we have control over genius. if you still cant grasp this i recommend watching “Determinism” by dendrophilian. it breaks it down rather well.
guy,
you are fucking retarded! you need to read up on neurology. there is no such thing as freewill. its a theoretical impossibility. were all products of circumstance. even your ignorant comments. the faster people learn this the faster we can approach things like obesity and drug addiction with the proper mindset.
you dont buy the “chemical reaction which he has no control over” theory because you dont know what the **** your talking about.
Him agreeing to taking it [surgery] doesn’t prove I’m wrong. To the contrary, it proves I’m right. There’s people like him that are not comfortable with it; there’s others that are, thus making their personal opinion subjective and proving what I just said. And at that weight (500 pounds) the chances of you dying because of it are very slim; you’d have to weight at least 650 pounds in order for it to be an imminent threat to your life. Being 500 pounds could shorten your lifespan, though.
You seem to have a very modernist view of life (I like the modernist poetry the most!!).
I’m not telling anyone what to do with their lives. I am saying eating until you are 500lbs is a poor life choice. How can you even argue that when the guy runs out of breath from swinging a stick and gets surgery to fix his obesity? Dying because of your weight would indicate a poor lifestyle choice.
I see your point, but the fact that he had surgery to fix his wight proves your wrong.
I disagree. It’s your subjective opinion. While you might think that it’s not good for them, they may think otherwise; thus making your opinion subjective. A person that smokes marihuana may very well like it and consider it to be good. You’re no one to be telling people what they should do with their lives. They’re the ones that have to suffer the consequences. The only thing you should ever do is orient them, but only in an objective way.
people, obesity is put on the people, god dam, you have choices you put it on yourself no offense. Unless you believe in genetics theory in which you can inherit weight gain man! Food cant tempt you that much, it doesn’t matter if you are depressed or anything i don’t care what you say. If you are fat, dont do gastric by pass surgery BAD IDEA
I wasn’t the one who initially brought up that drugs and food are the same thing. I was just pointing out that comparing the two and calling them equally addicting is stupid considering food is not chemically addictive like cocaine.
I think the majority of people would agree that eating and sitting around until you are 500lbs is a poor life choice. Same with drug addicts. Unless you see coke heads and marvel at the good choices they make….
