As is generally known, I love to offend people, so I am starting a thread concerned with very *personal* problem of many people, because, as I gather, supposedly around 30% of Americans are obese, which means very fat.

Though O9 is currently blessed with an abundance of not stupid people,
and intelligence & education are more common among people of normal weight, it is quite likely that there is a number of fat lazy bastards on these fora.
So, the stated purpose of this thread is to bring them out into the open, where they can be hunted down and ceremonially barbecued*. Due to the excess fat in their bodies, they are likely to burn in a very satisfactory manner :D*

I can't wait!
So, I say those who are fat, are personally responsible for being fat,
it's their fault.. in other words, and that obesity - a condition associated
with a high body fat content is a public health problem. Detrimental to national security, in the lingo of the current US admin.
(big people = big, slow targets)

Just because... come on.. normal size people who lead active lifestyles
are less likely to have diabetes II, high blood pressure, joint trouble,
take up less space, - they have more smarts/ pound, eat less,
shit less, and generally look more pleasing to the eye.

To add some spice, here are some quotes!
: Washington Irving:
Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs?-No-no, ''tis your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.

Too true.. too true. Too busy eating..

Susan Orbach:
Fat is a way of saying "no" to powerlessness and self-denial.

Well, I wonder how powerful is a person who
can't even walk properly.. I suppose Susan Orbach
is a big hippo.. If someone is fat, is he not denying
himself all the joys of being thin? Like, being able to
see your dirty feet, have an unimpeded view of one's
lice ridden nether regions..

I do believe that currently fat people pay the same health insurance as
thin ones. In my country too.. That is so unjust...we should pay by the pound. Bodybuilders are not blameless.. many of them suffer from heart
problems due to bad exercise habits.

Personally, I'm not blameless when it comes to overindulgence..
but being up to 3 am because I am reading a book is not exactly
the same as eating three-four-five times the required amount.
It's wasteful. Inelegant. I wonder how come people can afford that...
they surely have too much money for their own good.

My country too has its share of disgusting slobs, but it's
considered somewhat unfashionable to be fat.. besides,
there is little appeal in it.

As an aside, there is a growing suspicion that obesity among the population
is strongly correlated to portion size. It has been discovered, that
the portions of food have increased in size/weight by as much
as several hundred percent since the 1960's..

Why not practice Darwinism on a grand scale.. let's round up
the population, arrange them in a huge enclosed arena, and
add some fierce starved predators.. tigers/bears.
Then let the games begin.. Very quickly, the people
with good sprint performance would be selected from the
unworthy rest and the disgusting bastards would not
take up breathing space anymore..
Problem solved. If we added some weapons(to be fair, baseball bats), it would be a great spectacle indeed.. a perfect reality show, in other words...also, the unemployment would fall, healthcare would be less
expensive.. Also, it would be great entertainment.
Can you imagine something more exciting than being
chased by a bear? Hardly.. it's natural for us.
Grizzlies would be ideal.

*with flamethrowers, of course! My favourite tool.

Favourite food: well.. toasted sandwiches with bacon, cheese and
onions. Covered with blood.. /ketchup - depends on what's available.
To be eaten with lots of green paprika.

I'm 6'1, and I used to be 175 lbs with 7% body fat (it's what happens when you do karate for 12 years and practice 4-6 hours a day). After hitting college, then working at a game company, I hit 225 lbs, but now I'm down to about 200.

But dayumn, I loves me some food. A good bowl of *real* ramen, or a nice rigatoni pasta.

Ooh, or a nice toasted sammich with a runny egg, some greens, cheese, etc. all packed inside... topped off with an ice cold hefeweisen from the tap.


Goddamn, I'm hungry.

I'm almost 6'4" and over 220 pounds.

Ihave a lot of favourite food. Fried rice, satay, SOME curries (the mild ones, I can't handle chili. :(), tacos.

I love food, basically. Almost ANYTHING can be considered a favourite of mine.

Hate asparagus, brussels sprouts, some other stuff. I can count on almost one hand the foods I DO hate.

Well, I am 6'3" and 166 pounds. Last time I weighed myself.
I use belts all the time. I probably have 7-10% body fat.
You can see my heart beating if you look closely.

190 cm and 75 kgs. metric.

I wonder whether it is going to last.. though, when
depressed, I tend not to eat, besides, having a lot of
movement and expending lots of energy
is essential to my well being.

Well.. right now is my pulse 55 per minute.

17 years old, if that matters. 5'10". 130 lbs. I run/jog 3 miles every night before I go to bed and I play tennis for about 12 hours a week.

Favorite food(s): Pepperoni Pizza, Beef Teriyaki, Strawberries, and/or Raspberries.

I don't know my % body fat, I can tell you that I'm really slender, you can see the veins on some parts of my body, most muscle is in my forearms, haunches and calves. About 80 heartbeats per minute at rest, high metabolism.

Not your average American high school game addict, eh?

5'7'', 125 pounds or so. Discounting food in my intestines and clothing, I'd say I'm about 120. Body fat is 8%-ish. Boy, am I going to miss this lightness when I hit 25.
I really don't know how much I can lift, squat, curl, etc...but 5 years of Taekwondo, 4 of contemp. wushu, and 4 Arakiryu Iaido count for something. I know, I should be more consistent on practiced style. But because of such activities I could keep my metabolism at burning speed. That, and random kicking combinations around the house.

Favorite foods are:
-Mabo Tofu
-Romain Lettuce
-Home-made Gyouza
-Cereal (like the stuff Kashi makes or Weetabix)
-Cherry Tomatos
-Calbee

And if you look closely to my chest as well, you may also see the heart thumping. I'm at 70-ish bpm though; it used to be 60ish when I did wushu.

If this matters: I'm about 5'7'' and 97 lbs. (don't ask. I think I just have a fast metabolism).

I would have to say fish is one of my main favorites (cooked of course). Fried chicken (KFC and Cracker Barrel rule) and double-cheese pizza are great too. I also eat some junk foods.

6'0", 170 lbs. I'm a little on the heavy side as I carry some soggy in the midsection. But if you never saw me without my shirt you might never know since my arms and legs look thin and/or chiseled.

I tend to overeat and I lead a sedentary lifestyle. Combine those two factors and you get me. I know this is one of my problems, I'm frustrated and embarrassed about myself but in the big picture it's minor and the doctors say I'm healthy. In terms of blood, my cholesterol and other lipid agents are consistently better than average.

I often think I would rather look thinner, but the fact is I don't want it enough to affect the change. My problem would likely solve itself if I didn't spend most of my time doing things that require me to sit, like working on the computer, working at the piano, and working at school.

So there's my weight story. My favorite food is sushi. Can't be beat.
