I don't understand how a person becomes this, I mean it's okay to be fat is your life do wtf you want but the normal behavior is a fat person look at himself in the mirror and think "ok, I'm fat, I have to do something to at least not get even fatter"
but no, the person eats even more until reaches a level where can't even walk anymore, I don't understand it.

This is not true. The only case where it might even come CLOSE if you are comparing ONLY on the grounds of "how much volume of food it takes to feel full for a while", which has nothing to do with nutrition and staying alive.

I went to a grocery store yesterday, and the guy (with his fat as fuck wife) behind me in line bought ONLY this: frozen waffles (with sugar confetti in it, unbelievable), a 24-pack of coke cans, mini chocolate chip muffins, and some microwaveable "hungry man" brand dinners. Everything processed and unhealthy, and not even that cheap. How about some fucking rice? You can make it taste however you want, it costs almost as little as the dirt it came out of (if not less), and you don't have to do shit to cook it. People are just lazy and stupid in the U.S., and that is the ONLY explanation.

I went to a poor, fat friends house the other day and made some food - he had never seen the inside of a fucking bell pepper before.

I think your judgemental self-righteous bullshit is blinding you to the real problem here.

So your fat friend has never seen the inside of a bellpepper? Then the issue isn't being "lazy and stupid". The issue is plain ignorance, which is not the same as stupidity.

These people eat this processed shit because it's all they know. You should have pity on these lardasses and stop being such a cocksucker. Take your fat friend and expose him to healthy food. Who knows, maybe he'll stop eating oreos and start eating carrots.

Either way, you're a fuckwit. An hero.

Cheaper means: This $5 combo of two pieces of chicken, one portion of fries, and one soda is equivalent to one meal at a restaurant that otherwise would cost $30

Cheaper means: This $10 combo of one single cheese burger, one portion of fries or salad, and one soda is equivalent to one single meal at a restaurant that would have cost up to $50.

Cheaper does NOT mean: With your $20 you have to buy 2 burger combos, or 4 chicken combos, or 1 burger combo and 2 chicken combos.

>>734961543
I described him as poor and fat, not stupid. I am just pointing out the lifestyle that this type of person leads, where they don't know what an extremely common fruit looks like. But ignorance is derived from stupidity to some degree - you have to be somewhat willfully ignorant to not know what healthy eating is.

I did expose him to healthy eating - he's lost 120 pounds and now cooks a decent amount of meals himself, and we share tips with him whenever he wants to try a new food.

What makes you blow up so much? All I mentioned in my post is what I saw someone buy at a store and described the lifestyle to people that live outside the U.S. Yet you are so confident that I am a terrible person? You come off much more the fuckwit than I. You either have severe issues with reading comprehension or a severe sore spot about your weight.
>>
>>734961543
Many people are ignorant because of their own volition. If you don´t sit one day and ask yourself what are you eating and why you are eating it you are a idiot.
Another example is that there are people that get hurt in various ways simply by not asking how to do things.

>These people eat this processed shit because it's all they know. You should have pity on these lardasses
Not who you were responding to here. This is more complex than you seem to think. You aren't wrong, but this shitty diet is usually ingrained into them at a young age. It goes something like this,
>be fat
>have fat parents
>learn gluttonous eating habits
>earn extra weight
>parents begin developing heart disease, difficulty breathing, gangrene from lack of activity
>think along the lines of "heart disease runs in the family
>still not give a second thought about shitty eating habits
>continue eating more because depression
>teach shitty habits to offspring, if any
>repeat, and blame genetics

I do feel sorry for these people because the ones I've known are too set in their ways. Going from landwhale to lamppost is a dramatic lifestyle change that would not be easy for anyone. I blame the epidemic in part on our aggressive consumer culture and the brainwashing that goes with it.

Not true - it's recognized as a disease in the U.S., so they are a severe drain on healthcare costs, which are subsidized by everyone's tax dollars.

>>734962623
It's just as easy to put things that aren't sugar and milk into rice - steamed vegetables, grilled chicken breast (already deboned, deskinned, and out of a freezer). But at least the rice is barely somewhat of a complex carb. Look at poor Asians - almost all they eat is rice, and they aren't getting fat off those carbs. (I recognize there are other differences.)

The problem is that once someone gets that fat, their body's basic chemistry changes. Even if they change their habits and become thin, they will always feel like they are starving. Their bodies "believe" that their obese weight is normal, and will release hormones telling these people that they are hungry. That's why almost all people who go from fat to thin go back to fat eventually.

Yes, exactly the same. It has to be pointed out, sarcasm can go way over some folks here.

Carrots are high in sugar and taste sweet when they are cooked, so are bell peppers and other things. But even fruit mixed with rice and some sugar is better than a processed snack food. One step at a time, tastes can change gradually.

There is a fucking difference between drinking and smoking or beiing fat. Alcohol and tobacco are taxed way higher. So smoking fags pay their due each time they buy a pack.

At least try to tax the fastfood and your coke. That is a problem of the U.S society. Maybe the more expensive McDicks gets the less people will consume their shit. Fuck the best shot regarding this topic is N.Y which banned oversized Drinks.
>>
>>734964445
Well you may be right. Different taxes everywhere. But at least society is on the right way and put smoking in the centre of attention in some way. The growing problem of fat acceptance is seen as a step into a progressive society. That is a huge difference

No that is not true. But tell me: Would you starve or die if a McD menu is 8.99 imstead of 5.99 or a gallon coke is 6 bucks instead of 3? Maybe this is the only way to make ppl aware of their eating habits. On the other hand you could help farmers to grow vegetables with said tax money.

Nah, in 'Murrica the more.expensive some shit is, the more fancy they see it. Sell dog shit for $50 next to a stand where they sell salads for $2, and they will prefer eating a steamy pile of $50 dog shit because it is fancy.
>>
>>734964987
Yeah. Tax the shit out of fast food. That's worked well with cigarettes.
>>
>>734965288
Well see it as an process. I get those facts. Yes it is a huge business. You got to raise taxes step by step. A new awareness to local products and also there will be new jobs a farmer etc. Yeah a lot of people will loose their jobs and not everyone gets a new one. But tbh I don't how big the food industry can get. Also if americans don't like it they'll eat it anyway because it is cheaper. I force myself to eat healty too so pretty much anyone can do it.
>>
>>734965503
>>734964987
Another option to consider is just raising the wage of the McD employees, through minimum wage. They don't make enough to live reasonably anyway, and it would force the company to raise their prices without the artificiality of a tax. No one likes taxes anyway, it's best to avoid them if possible.

No, we certainly don't have a shortage of vegetables. But we've got a bunch of challenges:

-Vegetables/whole foods (non-processed) are more expensive and waaaay less convenient than processes/pre-packaged meals and snacks/sodas
-Many don't know how to cook said foods, at least beyond microwaving the fuck out of it. To say nothing of making it relatively tasty
-We've had decades of FAT IS BAD when it's beginning to look more and more like it's actually carbs/sugars that are the culprits
-We live in a country of surplus and convenience, where for all but the poorest fast food is only a phone call away

The list goes on; kids are spending more time with screens than outside playing, people are not taken to task for their lack of discipline, even calling people out for their self sabotaging bullshit is verboten outside of a personal trainer or a drill instructor telling you to get up off your fat ass and move.

No prpblem m8. It is also pretty hard to compare because every state in the U.S has different Taxes? Well you can answer that maybe. New taxes almost doubled the price of a pack within 10 years. One pack is around 6 € for 20 pieces. Compared to Minimum wage that is 8.85 € it is pretty expensive

True, obesity should be considered the disease that it is. Not a thing to be celebrating.

Almost every "challenge" there boils down to "I struggle with having to exert effort and not being lazy". There are plenty of healthy foods that are just as convenient as snacks - nuts aren't bad for you. How long does it take to learn to cook a new vegetable? Twenty seconds on your smart phone?

The "fat culprit" is very true, and was dumb then, but it's not like Americans REALLY put any effort into even following that advice.

>>734966212
This could work as well, a lot of agricultural jobs are held by illegal immigrants that aren't being paid the legal minimum anyway. The flaw here is that if agriculture costs go up, then both healthy and unhealthy foods cost more - but the scaling hurts the former more, and there's no reason to expect that the food grown won't go into processing instead of markets. We grow TONS of food in the U.S., the production isn't a problem.

Another option is to buy food from local farmer's markets instead. SOMETIMES, it is cheaper than the grocery store and cuts out a middle man. Also supports your local economy.

>>734966313
Also just got back from abroad - it's horrifying when you realize that you were so accustomed to seeing these people all over that you lost sight of the fact that they take up most of your sight.

Well I'm smoking too but I see the negative effects. As I said I'm from Europe and america is different but the thing is that that over here your insurance is paying for courses to stop and so on. But you almost got no help in the US to stop so yeah this might be a way. Oh you also can go to rehab in case you are a hard smoker
>>
>>734966549
Oh, it's fucking insane friend. I'm in Virginia, so we are a tobacco state. Not uncommon for people to run cigs from Virginia or North Carolina up to New York (about 8 hours away to the North) because even here it's way cheaper than the more 'liberal' (tax heavy) northern states. People get busted for it all the time as they will get pulled and searched.

A couple of side notes, one of my customers is a smaller tobacco grower and cigarette producer. They've already had the marijuana industry reach out to them since they have the facilities to grow. I expect if we end up with another Democrat governor we'll have at least medical MJ legalized within the next 4 years. And tobacco companies are thriving. Every time the tax goes up, they raise their prices by a few pennies. And they are selling to Southeast asia like nobody's business. Young smokers may be a growing population in the US, but it ain't shit compared to China and its neighbors.

I think the decline in smokers is more about people not starting in the first place. Most smokers just complained about the increase but willingly give away seven dollars or more for a pack.

>>734966954
Well that is fucked up. So as you see that few pennies is not enough. I also know Virgina as the tobacco state and the huge industry. It is also much more than raising taxes but it is also pretty impressive that this obvious bad habit is still going on. Yeah maybe the MJ for recreational reasons will help. I don't know if it helps but I think I remember something like that. Stay strong and don't make the same mistake i did. Once your lungs go black you never get back...

It's because of the whole body positive movement.

It's one thing if you have a deformity that you have no control over. It's another if you are just a fat fuck that over eats.

I saw an article today about a morbidly obese 13 year old (in France actually) who wore a swim suit to the beach and was learning to "love" her body.

There's being positive and then there's delusion.

I'm an olderfag (45) and had asthma before every 'murican caught it as a side effect from poor life choices (IE, I'm fat and can't breathe properly). I've never smoked as I some of my earliest memories are being in an oxygen tent that was so cold my sister said there was frost on my eyebrows. These were the days before steroid based inhalers.

Good luck with your health my friend. Take the best care of yourself you can. My father passed from a lifetime of those same decisions and it is a hard death when you are gulping for air like a fish out of water. You may not be able to undo all of the damage, but I would bet treatments are going to get better as we get older. Who knows what is on the horizon.

Well, as rich as we are as a nation we are really not about passing down wisdom through generations. It is more like passing down dysfunction.
>>
>>734966750
Yeah you may be right. It has to be more than my suggestion. I don't really know about U.S health education. This is a huge point to change eating habits.

But there are a bunch of other factors that we don't understand, like insulin sensitivity and why we do so well on a Ketogenic (Protien/Fat/No carbs) diet. My brother in law is type 1 diabetic and recently switched to keto and his blood sugar dropped from the mid 100's to 85-90. He's not fat, he got the diabeetus the honest way through shitty genetics.

I'm agreeing with you, but shitty diet doesn't help with the eating less.

But there are many things that we don't understand that are relevant, like the above. People lose weight on Ketogentic diets, yet we are told (in the states) to eat a percentage of carbs every day and keep fat to a minimum because all fat is bad.

There are some other considerations like genetics (Asians can eat a fuck ton of rice, Native americans would be the size of a house if they tried that) that come in to play.

Again, I agree with you but I think the results would be better and more successful overall if we had better indicators of what worked for particular populations and why.

Yes I understand, but I'm talking about the fact that sheer willpower is not enough for people who have fucked eating habits. For the majority of obese people, if they're just eating fast food, they're not going to eat less. Switching their diets is going to be easier than trying to have self control over the amount they eat.

Just being realistic here. Sure, eating fewer calories than you use is how you lose weight, but you'll have an easier time eating fewer calories by eating healthy food.

Go buy a lettuce and tell me healthy food is nutricious.
>>
>>734970520
Yeah that's pretty much how I lost weight. Stopped eating for days on end, nothing but water, then after a few days have a big vegetable feast, maybe some rice but usually just vegetables, then repeat. I've always eaten "healthy" but portion control is the key. Too much of anything is fucked, even if it's a "healthy" diet.

> But there are other considerations, and oversimplifying it is just as bad as over-complicating it.

No. Those are not "considerations", they are fat logic excuses.

Who the delusional fuck worries about "nutritional deficiency" when they're hundreds of pounds overweight?

>>734971342
not if it is the kid's choice. You got to let them choose their own ways and gender.

>Whole Foods don't make you lose weight.
No, but better choices which you point out in your third sentence does. What the fuck do you think whole foods are?
>Consuming fewer calories than you burn makes you lose weight.
Nobodies disputing this. You don't need to hammer home the point any longer. Just shut the fuck up about it already.
>Fruit and veg cost less than ice cream
This really doesn't cover the ins and outs of how much it costs (time, learning and monies) to prepare and cook a meal vs. a ready to eat preprocessed option. Your point is really off. You'd be better comparing a ready to eat microwave option, which is just as damaging as ice cream but it IS less expensive. We didn't just get fat off ice cream, chips and soda but those are certainly contributors.

Ever heard of seasoning? Are you pretending to be a moron?

>>734971489
Yeah but it's harder to eat too many vegetables than it is too many hamburgers or french fries.

>You mean like smokers and drinkers?
Actually smokers tend to be fairly cost effective - they stay in shape until retirement age, then die off relatively quickly. Fatties just have lower productivity throughout their lives.

"A bit chubby"

You are just 17lbs short of class 2 obese.
You should seriously consider some drastic changes in your life.

>>734948662
>why do americans think it's ok to be morbidly obese? are they taught this in schools over there?

yeah, we have courses like Fat 101 and AP Hoggin'
>>
>>734964445
Good point but rolling them is the equivalent of cooking and landwhales, just like super addicted smokers, are too lazy to bother with it
>>
>>734948662
We try to be nice and say "Oh you're fine how you are, you're not fat, etc" which is why we let people get this disgustingly fat. Just look at "plus sized models" dumbest shit I've ever heard of.

God damn, are you that fucking dense? Are you that fucking retarded?

Plenty of obese people are nutritionally deficient because even though they are stuffing their fat goddamn faces, they are eating shit all day long. Their bones and joints and organs are going to shit because they are eating pizza and drinking soda instead of consuming nutrient rich food at a caloric deficit. It's pretty goddamn well studied and documented.

Bah. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing. I don't even know why I'm engaging with you, other than I must have woke up with a taste for bait.

You're on the right track but instead tax sugar since that's the true culprit. It's not the burgers really but the gallons of sweet drink that's the real issue. Raising the price of that food will leave no cheap food alternatives in the market (except maybe ramen noodles)

The sad thing is...

Comment to just 6 months of your BMR and subtract 500 calories...the results will be there.

Wayyy too many people are lazy to even do that.

Yes I fall into line in raising taxes for softdrinks. It is pretty effective as you can see regarding mexican policies.

Also cutting soda is the easiest way do start caring about someones health. That shit is literally poison

I think Saitama from One Punch Man said it perfectly. "Human beings are strong because we have the ability to change ourselves." The biggest thing stopping us from changing is ourselves. We need to learn to wake up every morning with the determination to improve.

Fuck en a. M8 you're not a bit chubby...that's fucking fat and unhealthy. The worst part is at your age your metabolism should be in high gear...in another 15 years when that shit slows the fuck down and you don't change your lifestyle...the pic's you see in this thread will be you.

I'm fat (240lb at 5'11", 25 years old) and I'm tired of it. No excuses, it's all my own laziness that got me here. I hate feeling exhausted after I get off work even though I didn't exert myself all day. I have no motivation to do much of anything except my job, and even then I slack off too much.

I have the money to eat well, I know how to cook, and I know how to exercise efficiently. I only started gaining weight after I moved out of my parents when I turned 18. Before that I was a very active person. I just got complacent.

The pictures in this thread terrify me because I know I will end up like that if I don't put a stop to this shit right now.

No real point to this post, just venting. Maybe if I stop coming here I'll get better.

My doctor always said I should lose some weight and that some plus kg isn't healthy. I'm like 1,82 with 90 kg. I was determined on loosing some weight. But after this thread, fuck it

>>734972878
Glad they're doing it over there. I've been there a bunch of times and no matter where I go, the most difficult thing to get is a bottle of water. Nothing but sugary drinks everywhere

>>734948662
I bet you could tip them over. The sound of air escaping their lungs as they fall flat onto their sides. The fat crushing their organs and bending their bones.
>>734956462
Jesus, no. Just cremate them at this point, fuck. All the fat will burn easy.
>>734962518
If they fall on someone, they will hurt them.

I just wanted to say that I'm certain every point you made is true, some more than others.

But I would be missing the larger (HA) picture if I told myself rampant obesity is ONLY caused by overly convenient processed calories, bad cooking habits and "omg fat content."

Another side to it is that snack and fast food companies have spent decades climbing up food market chain with great success–each time finding what types of foods create impulse and lifelong customers. It's all about making money and btfo-ing competitors because that's what companies do. It's a simple and unintended side-effect that this particular industry, whether we like it or not, is also cornering a very basic and consequential instinct programmed into all humans–to crave high calorie foods whenever they're available. STRONGLY. It's that drive to keep eating over millions of years of constant scarcity at odds with sudden abundance, which fits right into what you were saying about surplus/convenience. So while Nabisco and McDonald's have been cornering the market for sales volume against their competitors, people have been ballooning to health crisis proportions before they stop being stupid long enough to realize what's happening.

Before anyone disregards this as "muh capitalist greed" victim mentality, everything I've said is no excuse for the fact that we live in a culture seriously lacking personal scruples and filled with lazy Americans. We can't just prosecute the food industry so long as they comply with the FDA. At the end of the day no one was fork lifting a pallet of Moon Pies into their mouths. But there are multiple underlying reasons to these types of things.

Yeah, Americans are lazy and uneducated in nutritional realities. And fast food is cheap/everywhere. But companies know they're pushing extremely stubborn evolutionary buttons.
