The obesity trend in America is amazing

Nah I agree with you, he's being insensitive. I'm just pointing out that thinking that a social problem is terrible isn't the same thing as hating the people affected by a social problem.

Alright, I get what you're saying now.

But dismissing them as a joke is hating on them. That is what I meant. That was extremely insensitive of him to post.

No loving stuff, I just updated the post I made with more info. I live in a highly urban area, I step outside 4 things bad can go wrong in the first minute, I have a chance of getting stung by a bee (their all loving around here because the neighbors yard is all FLOWERS) and getting a really bad fever. 2, I could get hit by a forgetin car because our yard is only like what? Four feet from the house? 3, I sunburn very easily. 4, What the forget is their to do? Sit here and bake in the sun as I start to loving drown in sweat? I live on a main street that is always in motion, its nearly impossible to cross the street. Some people cant get exercise because of issues like weak legs, very little energy or even heavy discomfort while exercising that causes back pain for a day or two afterwords.

idk how i missed this earlier but holy crap lol
these are the worst excuses i've seen in my life.

1. oh no, bees who don't do anything as long as you don't threaten them...?
might as well not go outside anymore at all huh?

2. no one's going to drive into your yard, idk if you're just really paranoid or if you're making up really bad excuses so you can continue your fat lifestyle.

3. sunburn can be prevented by many products.

4. what is there to do? how about running/jogging? how about jumping rope? there are so many things you can do and even if you legitimately don't know what to do (which is unlikely), one quick google search can do the trick. you are definitely making excuses.

5. oh boo hoo, i'm doing exercise but i feel unpleasant!

exercise is supposed to make you tired. is that really difficult to understand?

Fast food isn't cheap. Going to the store and purchasing ingredients for a meal is cheaper. Think of this.

My mom can make a pot of chili that lasts us 2 - 3 meals for 7 people. This pot of chili costs $10 or less , based on ingredients used. Feeding a family of 7 an equivalent amount of food for 2 - 3 meals at a fast food restaurant costs ~$56 - $84 - and that's only if everyone buys a maximum of $4 worth of food.

Sorry; although people think that fast food is good to buy if you're poor, it's actually one of the things making people poor - simply because they don't want to/won't make time to cook. My point still stands - it's convenience.

I don't really want to go into depth about why you are so wrong.
So very wrong.

But I can make some suggestions

Try reading this:

and/or watching the documentary "a place at the table"

It's strange that I can go months on end without having a mcdonalds breakfast sandwich but the next three days im jonseing like a mofo for another one

[Ninja Decoy]

I noticed I've gotten a little bit rounder at the belly ever since I started working at arbys, but not even a lot, and its the only fast food I eat. Other than that, I eat semi healthy foods at home. I'm not going to blame the food for my fat, I blame the fact that I don't work out as much as a should (though its hard when you work a lot).

i can't eat salad because it makes me choke/gag :c

1) You need to get an allergy test.
2) This is caused by paranoia.
3) Try SPF50 (or higher) sunscreen with broad spectrum protection if you're sensitive to sunburns. I am sensitive to sunburn, too.
4) Try going to a nice area nearby for biking (or hiking, if possible), or to an exercise center.
5) Overexercise can deteriorate muscle mass. The right amount of exercise is OK :)

Steemer's advice seems useful. I'm wondering what I should do to increase my endurance.

There are so many people I've seen who are fat and they don't want to be fat; low wealth, depression-aggravated binging, and fast food locked them on to being fat. They can get out of this vicious cycle but it'd be really hard.

[ABlockOfCheese]

since obesity is a disease?

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHGGHH

forget NO

That's just an excuse for people to be fat.

Anyone who claims that obesity is a real disease shouldn't be allowed to breed until they get their facts straight.

well a big factor is metabolism
i don't do any sports, half the time don't go for a walk besides walking around school and guess what? i'm skinny as forget. i have extremely low body fat
i have a couple of friends who exercise, lift weights, etc who are chubby. i feel bad for them since i do basically jack stuff and i'm not a fatso
the reason i know its metabolism and not genetics is because i exhibit signs of a high metabolism, like never being cold and i do things like getting like twice as much sleep as some of my friends, which can heighten your metabolism

Are you sure they are chubby and not just buff? Not all people who work out are skinny with toned muscles. A lot of the time you get more of a broader look.
Plus having fat on your body isn't bad, especially if you work out all the time.

This thread... wow.
