a lot of ppl think that being unattracted to a large person is just ppl being shallow.. (yes, i know fat fetish exist).
i watch on tv and see women who are proud to be fat and show their bodies unashamed saying that other ppl have the problem not them.
i also see on tv doctors who say being fat is not a good think and women who try to pass the image of pride in being fat women on tv is irresponsible and ignores the many problems that such size can have on the body.
i also see tv shows where they have weight loss competitions and whatnot.
my question is this what are the benefits of being fat whether its psychological, physical, social or medical..
what is the negative aspects of being fat in modern society?
how heavy do u need to be to be considered fat with height, age and weight ratio?
what countries have the largest fat ppl populations?
should we idealized fatness? should ppl be proud to be fat or be indifferent?
Re: benefits of being fat or Detriment to being fat
Health. Really depends on the person's genetics and level of fatness/obesity.
Some like to use the BMI, I think it has faults. Some believe that 20lbs overweight is obese.
The US, iirc. Probably Samona too.
No, we shouldn't, but purely from a health standpoint, not because of physical looks. If someone is happy to be fat and their health isn't an issue. Then who cares.
There is no benefit to being overweight. It's horrible. It isn't sexy, and it isn't cool.
I'm sorry, but america has the idea that this is ok. It's not. Stop saying that "natural" is needing a forklift to get out of bed. Natural is being the fittest so that you can survive.
this is really what i wanna talk about.. when i wolf down food my friend tells me to stop orv i'll get fat. i respond with then i'll get the girl b/c it shows i have access to food and i am a healthy specimen.. he responds to yeh, back in the olden days with fat kings and knights not now...
So, you weren't really leaving, at all, and it was just an attention thread? Figures.
OH MY GOSH!
Funniest sh*t I've seen on the internet all week. Oh man.
*wipes tears away*
I'm just assuming that that is you:
1. Spazing out because your "nerd rage" is getting the better of you.
2. You horrendously large manbewbz are falling all over the keybaord.
3. It's a heart attack.
Either way, it's greatest.

Re: benefits of being fat or Detriment to being fat
That's a good question actually. The word "fat" doesn't have a concrete definition...mostly because woman who aren't, always think they are. When I hear "fat", I think of a walking beachball who can barely tie their own shoes.
According to the fact-book The Top 10 of Everything, the 3 countries with the fattest adult populations are Tonga, Samoa, and Nauru, in that order. All of which happen to be Pacific islands.
fyi: Qatar, an Arab country, came in fourth. I think America was like 8 or 9.

Not leaving forever with no real activity. That was really a farewell to the debaters and the forums I spent hours on. An occasional post on the gdf isnt exactly back in black.
You know, as a former healthy person turned fat. I'm going to tell you all that there is nothing good about being fat..,Well, other than the over indulgence of gluttony and sloth that a fatty partakes in. I have gained a lil over a hundred pounds in the past year. I'm currently sitting at 289. My muscles have turned to jelly and after walking up stiars i feel like i just ran a marathon to save my life. I was always a rather health conscientious person. Although i was always highly aware and strict towards what i put in my body in the way of food (no processed foods, refined sugars) i regularly partook in drugs such as, Pot, Shroomies and acid. However, other than the tobacco and acid most of the affects from the Shrooms and Pot were often offset by a routine exercise regiment. I was always involved in some type of competitive sport whether it be playing Hockey for the city league or boxing and kick boxing at the local YMCA. This all stopped, however, once i got fat. The drugs never really interfered with my motivation or stamina but once i went twenty pounds over fighting weight i started to lose all energy and motivation. Sooo, in other words, being fat is more detrimental to my health than drugs. What's worse is that at 26 i am fast losing skin elasticity, so, if i don't lose this hundred pounds quickly and slowly, i will have some major flab to worry about. Being fat blows. I also have an entire wardrobe of clothes that i can no longer wear :-(
