Start a thread about the treasonous, deserting POS then.
Being outraged about the military is your job. I expected at least six misspelled paragraphs about the jawas.

You have proven yourself to be a bunch of misogynistic fatphobes. If a homeless guy was offering up market advice, you wouldn't hesitate to listen to him, would you?

The fat chick in the picture is right. To be happy about your body and to be healthy are two different things. Nor should you go to the doctor to be told that you're healthy: if you don't have complaints you most likely are. Nobody calls a building engineer every year to check if their house is ok, do they?
And she is right about healthism, which is slowly becoming analogous to racial purity. People should be free to make their own choices. And they also must deal with consequences, of course, but it is another argument alltogether.
if i am not mistaken, fatties impose an increasingly large burden on our health care system--diabetes, heart disease, and such--and they alone are not footing the bill. so if i have to pay the costs for your being fat, does your fatness become society's business.
put them in an insurance pool with smokers and let them pay the higher premiums being fat would require.
Really Big Strong Guy: There are a plethora of psychopaths among us.
Smet, I can grok where you are coming from, and certainly I wouldn't base my whole health outlook on the shifting sands of the medical community...chubbiness is NBD, a relatively highish BMI is no big deal, blood pressure and HR markers can vary wildly...BUTFORFUXSAKE. That bitch is not fat. she's obese. Seriously obese.
Regardless of health markers anyone looking at the woman above, she's got a mental illness. Whether being crazy makes you fat or being fat makes you crazy...This Bitch Be Crazy.
DMW: Yes, I think you are mistaken, there's not a lot of solid evidence I'm aware of that indicates a greater preponderance of health costs caused by being fat. If you can find a decent study on those costs I'd love to see it.

i thought i remembered reading something about the medical cost of obesity, but now that you've called me out, i will see if i can find anything more reliable than poor recollection and prejudice, you realize, those are usually sufficient basis to make a case around here.

Oh..totally, rampant conjecture is really good enoguh for me. I just recall a study that seemed to solidly counter that assumption. I could be wrong though.

The estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21% of annual medical spending in the United States.1 Childhood obesity alone is responsible for $14 billion in direct medical costs. Obesity-related medical costs in general are expected to rise significantly, especially because today’s obese children are likely to become tomorrow’s obese adults.2,3 If obesity rates were to remain at 2010 levels, the projected savings for medical expenditures would be $549.5 billion over the next two decades.4
The direct and additional hidden costs of obesity are stifling businesses and organizations that stimulate jobs and growth in U.S. cities. In the 10 cities with the highest obesity rates, the direct costs connected with obesity and obesity-related diseases are roughly $50 million per 100,000 residents. If these 10 cities cut their obesity rates down to the national average, the combined savings to their communities would be $500 million in health care costs each year.5
Fast googlage. This link is right in my wheelhouse. This is their real work.....
NLC lobbies Congress on multiple issues, including city infrastructure, particularly transportation; supporting local energy efficiency and conservation efforts; strengthening and stabilizing the housing market; helping build stable families; supporting community safety; and reforming the country’s immigration system. NLC’s core lobbying principles include avoiding unfunded mandates, preserving local authority and protecting the intergovernmental partnership.
Get that federal dolla dolla bills. yo.
Good start though, at least they provided a footnote to the Cawley study and several others. Most of them look pretty solid but the ones I looked at didn't correct for income level or other health factors like smoking etc. I'm probably wrong on the rebuttal study because I can;t find it.
Regardless of the shitbags running public health statistics, the obvious truth is more useful. This bitch is too fat and she is crazy.

Supposedly Mike Boyle told Alan Aragon that he really couldn't be effective about educating in diet since he's never been fat.

It's not perfect, but this is the best study that comes to mind. They estimate that around 20% of our healthcare expenditures are spent on illnesses related to obesity.

If being a fatty fat fat doesn't increase health care costs and kill you quicker, why is Mrs. Ossiah diddling with school lunches and the food police chasing purveyors of fast foods for their evil fattening deeds and such?
If being fat is fine, then the people who help you get fat are fine.
I'm feeling some cognitive dissonance in the ether.
