By 2030, half of the UK will be obese.

This data is so alarming that former Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said that childhood obesity is a national emergency.

The US is quite fat. The US is renowned throughout the world for it's obesity epidemic. But now the UK is going to become the monarch of obesity if things do not change.


People in the UK, why are you eating so many fish and chips? You have, as often measured, the best healthcare in the world. Don't be like the US.

I corrected a spelling error.


Important:
poop and pee
for you and me
to do and see.




Also, and this is scientific fact, I have three knees.

My left knee.
My right knee.
And my wienie.


I am incredible for thinking of this. I used my prefrontal cortex with my somatosensory cortex to come up with that.

Is it really that surprising? The West have become so backward in thinking, claiming someone is fat and needs to excercise to better ones life is frown upon.

I partially agree with you. While I don't believe in fat-shaming, the notion that telling someone who is unhealthy levels of overweight that "they're fine" and "go ahead and eat those four donuts" is just dangerous to them.

But you can also encourage someone to be healthier, put down the donuts and exercise without making them feel like shit first.

Who cares? We're all gonna be dead in 12 years anyways.

You know why. Because it's delicious.

We only got 12 years to live lets go crazy and eat what we want.

I want a baby seal burrito. Gimme. Get in muh belly.

BackFire
Coming to a Chipotle near you.

Surtur
*checks belly* It's seal free. This ain't gonna do.

That's too bad. I believe Germany currently has the highest obesity rate 50+% of all EU countries. Deutschland and its people is nothing like it used to be. What a shame.

Going to assume TI's still obsesssing over me and doing his "You never leave KMC!" troll bit again? Which is weird as TI posts nigh non-stop.

But I do on occasion post on weekends, just very rarely. I'm a M-F guy.

You really are doing that whole "I am not ignoring him but not reading his posts well." Having trouble seeing the posts right below you?

I don't know man.

So many people are obese just because they are unmotivated and lazy. I just hate fatties. I'm not saying throw tomatoes at them, but goddamn, it's gross.

It creates this positive feedback loop of inactivity and lethargy. If throwing tomatoes at them will at least get them jogging, I'm all for it tbh. They'll thank us when they're down to a healthy weight.

Fat shaming is more likely to cause someone to not change and possibility even engage further in the activity/or lack of activity they're doing that got them(or in part) to obese to begin with.

tl;dr: You're better off with positive reinforcement, than negative if you want someone to change

Is that what happened with Smokers? Did smoke-shaming cause them to smoke more?

Not sure the two are equally comparable, as one of the biggest anti-smoking sells was "you're not just killing yourself, the second-hand smoke is killing those around you", not sure that applies to obese people?

Anecdotally, I did know a guy who would smoke more just to be annoying when people gave him the standard "you know smoking is bad, right...". But he was a special *******.

edit: Iirc, DarthGoober who is a disgusting smoker also has this outlook towards people who are disgusted by his smoking. He'll smoke more, blow it in another's direction etc. We had a talk a year+ ago.

You might have a point. They are just killing themselves when being fat.

They are killing their children, however. If they eat poorly, their children are affected into obesity almost invariably which makes it worse than smoking.

It's quite a predictable outcome.

Also, a while back, I remember reading that even when parents kept a good diet for their children, if the parent was obese, so would the child. Part of it was the child not believing any stupid shit the parent said about diet because the parent was a fatty.

So it's worse if they have kids? Can the anti-fat campaign say, "Being fat doesn't just kill you, it's killing your children. Stop being a fatass." ?

Robtard
Even without that study I think everyone has an anecdotal experience with overweight parents leading to overweight kids, as that behavior is in part learned.

Hmmm.

I guess if someone's obese already, they have a pretty weak mentality that is driven by short-driven dopamine highs and low impulse control.

Negative reinforcement probably does no good. But I don't know. I think some forced hard labour in some modern-day mandatory gyms will straighten out at least a large majority.
