People are out there drowning in their own bodies and acting like it's completely normal.
If someone wanted to torture you, they might force you to carry a 50 lb weight around every minute of every day. And yet people are willingly doing just that to themselves.

Why do people subject themselves to this?
Some people like a challenge. You of course shy away from it.
The Left will eventually "victimize " it. Votes are votes.
Did you know that there is an extraordinarily strong positive correlation between obesity rates and Trump voting rates? State by state, county by county, the higher the percentage of Trump voters the higher the obesity rate.

If caloric intake is not a problem, that just means that they will automatically also get stronger and not really notice the extra weight, so carrying weight by itself is not anywhere near as bad as you seem to think. Overweight (but not obese) people also tend to outlive normal weight people for what it’s worth.

I used to feel sorry for fat people, for being so unattractive and helpless. But then I realized they find each other attractive. And they compensate for their inability to move by getting others to do things for them. Kind of like a fat king on a throne might do.
And I used to look at those old Renaissance paintings of nude fat ladies, back when being fat was in style. I had no idea it would happen again in my lifetime, but it is. The fats have reached a critical majority to where they are the "in" crowd, the attractive people, and call all the shots.
I can't get fast food in any reasonable amount of time anymore, because they are backed up with gig-delivery orders for people too lazy to leave home even to go get food. 99% of those customers are undoubtedly fat, epitomizing their dream world of a) eat lots of food and b) don't move
I used to think kind of similar, but thanks to this forum, I changed my mind. Even though the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, etc. is a toxic food environment in which almost everyone should live with some kind of restriction - (Americans eat 70%+ of their diet from processed food) - there is still a small percentage of people in the Western world who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight, but this does not mean they're healthy! I have many relatives like this. Junk food addicts, yet they're still thin or normal weight. However, they have many health problems.Even though they're not overweight, I wonder - to what degree - their health problems are caused by their steady diet of ultra-processed crap!
Whenever I see an overweight person, I don't blame them. Not anymore! Go to a doctor and ask them about addiction nutrition and see what they say. OR go to a registered dietician and ask them, "Can you please explain to me what is addiction nutrition? I would like to stop being addicted to certain foods" and see what they say. Blank stares.
The obesity crisis can be blamed on a few factors - it's like the perfect storm. 1) BIG TOBACCO could no longer suppress the health data on cigarettes in the late '70s and they were looking for a new industry to invest their business model, it's called the Addictive business model. The addictive business model depends on five factors, called the five A's.
a) Addictive product formulation: Howard R. Moscowitz (PhD from in Experimental Psychology of Marketing from Harvard. He's worth 45 million today ) formulated the "Bliss Point." He went around to each food corporation in the mid-80s changing the nutrition in processed food so that the products would have the maximum amount of sugar, fat, & salt possible before the consumer would notice. An egregious example is pasta sauce: 1/2 cup of store-bought pasta sauce has the same amt of sugar as 2 Oreos.
b) Affordability: in 1980, high fructose corn syrup came on the market. Therefore, the processed food industry did not have to rely on the "sugar cartel" to maximize the addictive nature of their products (sugar is one of the addictive foods!) Corn is subsidized by the U.S. government, therefore HFCS is cheap.
c) Advertising: Advertising for addictive nutrition is everywhere. In particular, in the 1980s Big Food hyped up their advertising to children (which relates to the last point, "get the consumer hooked at the youngest age possible"): in 7 years, Big Food advertising to children went from 150 ads per Saturday morning, to 550 ads for addictive foods.
d) Availability: Big Tobacco companies already had the "in" at the corner stores, gas stations, vending machines. They replaced cigarettes with addictive foods. They took out the cigarette vending machines, and replaced them with junk food vending machines. They used to sell cigarettes at the corner stores/gas stations - now replace it with addictive food.
e) Age: Get the consumer addicted at the youngest age possible. So, this is just taking a page from Big Tobacco: they tried to advertise to the youngest age they could (10-year-old boys) with the "Joe Cool Camel," and Congress stepped in! Big Food lobbied against long-term paid maternity leave because that could cut into their profits on baby formula. Note: baby formula contains High Fructose Corn Syrup, so Big Food is marketing to infants with additive nutrition. Also, the amounts of ads to children greatly increased when Big Tobacco bought Big Food. Get 'em hooked young. UCSF has internal documents of Big Tobacco trying to addict children with sugar as far back as 1963. (UCSF researchers have 40,000 internal documents from Big Tobacco).
Between 1985 - 1987, Big Tobacco bought Kraft, Nabisco, General Foods, Dannon Yogurt and employed the addictive business model to unknowing consumers.
The bliss point is the amount of an ingredient such as salt, sugar or fat which optimizes deliciousness (in the formulation of food products). Description Pioneering work on the bliss point was carried out by American market...
Overweight (but not obese) people also tend to outlive normal weight people for what it’s worth.
But overweight at what point in their life? At the point of death? I can understand why being thin & frail at an older age could be associated with higher mortality, but someone slightly overweight in their 80s might have lived the majority of their adult lives at a healthy weight. It wouldn't be surprising for that person to outlive others.
It's gross, obesity. Shame. How about portion control and cut down on the sugar? These people don't walk like you or I, they Waddle. A big reason for the whole covid scam-ish, the lockdowns, social distancing, and the masks (LOL), was because of these people. I saw countless articles from the deceptive media with the title "Healthy (age) dies of covid." Every single one of these so-called healthy people was obese. Obesity has never been healthy, isn't healthy, and never will be healthy. If you're an obese single man you aren't getting any, if you're an obese single woman there will still be Simps and desperate men willing to smash. Do better.
Hyper capitalism makes all people with limited self-regulation big fat over consumptive pigs. Same with allowing drugs to flood neighborhoods, only the best get through.
I think those above regard this as doing God's work. As the future should be for those with increased self-will. Will that arises from internal workings not external.
