Or get sunburned. Fat girl, Fat girl, Shady Shady. and a mumu makes a good makeshift tent.

Hummmm

So if food does not = fat and Fat = amount of exercise then persons fatness is directly proportional to their amount of laziness.

So in fact fat people are not fat they overly lazy..

hummm Yessss I see....

If you have a fat chick and a sheet you are ready to go.. Fat chicks make great boats because fat is very buoyant..

I hear STYX playing in the back ground. "I'm sailing away" Sing along.. you know the words...

We should narrow the doors on all the fat people's homes. That way we wouldn't have to look at them.

"Its saying to overweight people that its their fault."

For the vast majority, it is, in fact, their fault. If people would learn to push themselves away from the table instead of reaching for that last breadstick and learn to get off their asses and get some exercise, they might find that their weight problem is no longer a problem.

This dietician has bought into the absolve-yourselves-of-any-responsibility mantra hook, line and sinker. "You're might be obese, but even if it's not genetic, it's still not your fault! We'll find something else to blame."

I always try to take a couple of fat gals camping with me just in case of an emergency. never know when youre going to get stranded somewhere and need food and shelter. and if yo dont actually break down and eat the fat gal, she will eventually lead you to the nearest McDonalds.
 
2004-05-08 11:11:12 PM
It would open a new market for teflon coated clothing for the obese ;)
 
2004-05-08 11:12:37 PM
I'd set up a chair outside the door, waiting for hungry fatasses to stroll by and offer to order the food for them for a 10% commission. I'd be a farking millionaire.

Why not a 50% commission? They'll pay it.

Good call. Hell, I might just ask for their children. I've been meaning to set up a white slavery ring for a while now.

BLASPHEMOUS
It's not harming you and it's their own choice.

When they start claiming medical conditions that arise directly from their weight problems and use my damned tax dollars for treatment.... it is harming me.

Notice the clever use of the word essentially :)
I'm not saying that food plays no factor in obesity, just that excercise is very very important.
Someone who participates in a reasonable amount of physical activity has a better chance of that Twinkie not ending up as part of their thigh than someone who lazes around all day.
Eating nothing BUT Twinkies is bad for you regardless of your physical activity level. But then, if all you eat is Twinkies, than obesity is probably the least of your health worries. ;)

"Its discriminating and unkind. Its saying to overweight people that its their fault."



.... I think it stands on its own just fine without any witty comments.

"when you outlaw fat people from eating at Mcdonalds only skinny people will become fat"
 
2004-05-08 11:29:33 PM
McDonalds added: What about people with disabilities, people in wheelchairs or mothers with prams?

I would recommend the mother get a check up at the doctors to clear up that nasty case of the 'prams'.

ringwraith: "DAMN THOSE FAT PEOPLE... Next there will be FAT only restruants and FAT only water fountains..."


Mountain Dew fountains...

SadMan#9 "Mountain Dew fountains"
nope, gravy fountains.
 
2004-05-08 11:43:39 PM
I dont know if fat people will drink from gravy fountains, as they basically sweat gravy anyway. who wants to drink your own sweat?

I blame Geoege Bush for people being FAT.. People were not FAT when Clinton was in office..

Oh wait.. Wrong thread..

Monica was kinda portly..

Chunky even. Hey if it was good for Bill then it must be good for me.. I pork a fatty...
 
2004-05-08 11:46:54 PM
it would be like Gatoraid - fluid replacement.
 
2004-05-08 11:55:04 PM
Fatty, fatty, two by four, can't get through McDonalds door.


Guess the drive will have to do...
 
2004-05-09 12:07:48 AM
"What about people with disabilities, people in wheelchairs or mothers with prams"


Then the people with disabilities, wheelchairs, and [wth?] prams don't get fat. even better!
 
2004-05-09 12:08:11 AM
I'll bet that 75% of the people in here are overweight according to the guidelines for height to weight

Zman: Underweight, myself.
 
2004-05-09 12:17:04 AM
Zman68: Last time I checked I was either underweight or slightly above underweight... can't remember which.
 
2004-05-09 12:22:07 AM
Makes sense to me, actually. The drive-through thing is the big problem--someone's gonna have to come up with a "creative solution" for that.
 
2004-05-09 12:27:41 AM
How about just shooting fat people in the head when they try to reach for sandwich? Solved. Next?

DrWebster

Drive through solution: To get your food, you have to reach through a small hole and press a switch which brings out your food. A fattys arm is too big to reach through such a hole.

Or replace all automobiles with these:

Is is some kind of deep-seated flaw in the human psyche that prevents everybody from just dealing with the fact that it all comes down to

calories in must be kept <= calories out?
 
2004-05-09 12:37:55 AM
Stupid?? I think it is a brilliant idea!
 
2004-05-09 12:38:50 AM
I love Fark.

In this thread, we will have a bunch of people saying "Yes! The government should crack down on people for eating too much!"

Within days we'll have the marijuana thread, where the same bunch of people will say "No! Pot should be legal! The government has no right to tell us what we can do with our bodies!"


Flame On!
 
2004-05-09 12:41:11 AM
I don't think the government shoud do anything but go away, but there is a serious lack of mental disclipine in the Western world.

"Overweight people just happen to have one of their self-inflicted problems on display for the rest of the world to see, and for some reason, people think that makes it ok to insult and ridicule them. Grow up. Work on bettering yourself instead of pointing out the faults in others."

Farking please. Who the hell do you think you're kidding? Eat less than you burn. It's not that hard to comprehend unless you're a farking moron.
 
2004-05-09 12:46:30 AM
Anyone ever read the fat threads? Hilariouse

600 pound whales sharing their experiance when the toilet/stadium seats/elevatar break

If they spent as much time excersiing as they do eating they would never sleep

/cruel
 
2004-05-09 12:48:06 AM
Well tell us the name of a good fat thread, bongfarmer.
 
2004-05-09 12:59:29 AM
This is stupid. It'll work about as well as keeping cigarettes away from kids by making them get other people to buy them for them.

Hell, you could attach a $500 fine to knowingly delivering McDonalds to a fat person without checking their height-weight ratio and it wouldn't do much.

I hate fat people. I hate it when they sit next to me on an airplane, I hate it when they sit next to me on a bus, and I hate it when I have to walk next to them. I hate it when I have to look at fat people. I hate it when I have to smell fat people. I hate it when I have to stand next to a fat person in the checkout line. I hate it when they take up all the space and I hate it when they breathe all my air. I hate it when they wear skimpy clothing, I hate it when their fat hangs out of their clothing, and I hate it when they don't wear any clothing. I have 9.5% body fat because I eat sensibly and perform a semi-moderate amount of exercise. Thank you.
 
2004-05-09 01:16:25 AM
They need something like this for Denny's, nothing but huge mofos eat there. Nice wieght-loss program for me, watch fat people come in and eat a shiatload of food. Bleh, bad enough I've got to cook it much less watch them inhale it down.
 
2004-05-09 01:18:28 AM
I used to have sympathy for fat people - then I got stuck sitting next to one on a four hour flight - the entire time his warm moist flesh pressing up against me (He had to raise both arm-rests in order to fit into the seat.) Mmmmm...

No more.

Doesn't affect anyone but themselves? Bullshiat.
 
2004-05-09 01:21:26 AM
Oh, and for all those people biatching about fat people eating up my tax dollars (hehe stupid pun), being fat= heart attack. And what did Mr. Atkins die of? Skinny people on those "easy diets" are about as close to a heart attack as a McDonalds patron. Both of course not doing any exerise.
 
2004-05-09 01:25:43 AM
"This is stupid. It'll work about as well as keeping cigarettes away from kids by making them get other people to buy them for them"

But this will at the very least make fat people feel bad about themselves, like they should. It's already a great advancement.

ringwraith

Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot that overweight people are soaking up the majority of our government health care funding. We wouldn't be so massively in debt if people kept in shape.

I'd go on but I think I made my point.

I am all for live and let live (or die, in the case of obese people). I will never understand how people can be so screwed up in their head that they hate someone just for what they look like. Obese people should lose weight or wear less revealing clothes, yes, but if someone's overweight and wears modest clothes, I have no problem with them.
 
2004-05-09 01:27:08 AM
irulebiatch: but wasn't atkins fat again by the time he had that heart attack? Atkins is a retarded diet anyway... how about the 'eat like a real human and excercise some' diet?
 
2004-05-09 01:31:03 AM
SadMan#9

Thus the......

Skinny people on those "easy diets" are about as close to a heart attack as a McDonalds patron. Both of course not doing any exerise.

Yeah you excercise and eat right you will get healthy, but look at the average American, the "easy diet" seems a hell of a lot better of an idea.
 
2004-05-09 01:35:06 AM
To hell with the diet and exercise, watch "Requim for a Dream" great weight loss ideas.....
 
2004-05-09 01:36:33 AM
Mandatory trip to ethiopia for 1 week when you hit 300 pounds, guilt might work

I dont have a problem with fat people in general, and of course 99% of the people in this thread are being silly, but I cant understand how someone can reach upwards of 600 pounds.

Once you say/type the sentance "I'm ok standing or walking as long as I frequently have a place to sit down or lean on" you need to re-examine your life. If you are unable to stand up or walk for more than 3 minutes you might want to do something

/If being fat was a good thing fatties would be saying "It took a hella lot of dedication to get to where I am!" rather than "Its not my achievement, its my metabolism"
//its jsut life
 
2004-05-09 01:42:12 AM
1 week trip? Just drop them there. Doubly good; one less fat person, and slightly less hungry ethiopians.
 
2004-05-09 01:45:02 AM
Side note: Because I enjoy how cruel (and therefore fun) this thread is permitting is all to be...

Don't you guys think it's hilarious in a sad way when fat chicks get really slutty in an effort to convince themselves that they are pretty (which, by virtue of being fat and therefore disgusting, they are clearly not) just because they found some guys who are as horny as they are ugly?

/watches too much Maury
 
2004-05-09 01:47:27 AM
Yep, I sure as hell can't fit through this door. I guess I'll just go onto a miracle diet and lose fifty pounds just so I can, right?

SoftBoiledLife


Not at all.. I think it is balance. you see HOT girls have far too many men chasing them and if it not for slutty fat girls then all the hot girls would either be slutty (which makes them less hot) or fat from being pregnant. So you see there is Balance. Thanks to Fatties HOT chicks can continue to be HOT...
