What do they classify as overweight? I actually failed height and weight standards one time, but passed because of tape. I'm 5'9 and 190 pounds. My waist ranges from a 34 to a 36. I'm not fat by any standard, but on paper they said I was overweight. If anything I think I'm on the skinny side. What I'm getting at, is that the little details make all the difference in any study, poll, etc. What does the UK classify as overweight?
Bmi of 25+ I think but bmi is not always a good measurement of health, its more about body composition and measurements?
Because fuck people who say you have to look a certain way, just because someones overweight doesn't make them some sort of freak. It's shit like this that pisses me off that people think something is wrong and shouldn't be around. I'm not targeting this anger at you just people in general but why the fuck does it matter.
Bering obese is unhealthy and they should do whatever the fuck it takes to become healthy again.
Ugh I just feel like we should all live our lives how we want to and stop caring about what everyone thinks! If someone wants to eat a pint of ice cream or a plate of salad, let them do it. The world would be a much better place if we could all just be more accepting.
Because shaming people into losing weight tends to make them more obese. If it's not your body, it's none of your business.
It is her business the moment they tax her ass for it LOLOLOL
@mistninja314 right because taxes should just go to the defense budget instead of things like health care for everyone
TBH taxes should go a lot of places, but in the end they don't, right? I don't see why someone should have to pay for __ 's health care. When these people aren't really disabled IMHO by some disease/problem but more or less their bad eating habits that they got from their parents. I can't count how many obese people have told me this "Bro I've always been fat" I WONDER WHY even though __ came out of the womb at a normal weight? Now here's the funny part these MFs will say "bro it runs in the family" OH NO IT DOESN'T, but I know 1 thing that does... bad eating habits with next to no exercise LOL. I have family members like that -_- so I find that shit to be some HOW COULD YOU LET YOURSELF GO? Also, if __ wants to let themselves fo THEY SHOULDN'T BRING THE KIDS DOWN THERE WITH THEM LOL.
Sorry for ranting/going off-topic but I had to get that off my chest.
I find that shit to be so annoying like "HOW COULD YOU LET YOURSELF GO?" *
@mistninja314 typical American.
Cool and I can accept ^_^
It's my business if I'm paying for it
Do you even work? Only people with too much time on their hands worry about other people they don't even know.
I work my ass off. But for what? To accommodate for obese peoples habits
No, you pay taxes to fund health care for yourself if you fall ill. Everyone does. If you don't want to pay taxes for health care for the obese, I suggest you figure out what percentage of your taxes is used for that purpose and pay everything but that. See how that works out for you.
I couldn't agree with you more
I'm naturally slim... its next to impossible for me to get fat. But I agree, if you wish to live unhealthy and be fat then don't make other pay for it.
Neither being anorexic or obese is a good thing. People just need to learn to be healthy... not eating and being "model skinny" does not make you healthy and neither does obesity. I see them both as the same thing- a disease.
everyone should be healthy in developed countries
no excuses, we have education about nutrition, exercise, and healthy living habits
Honestly i dont know why people even care... someone being fat skinny thick obese doesn't affect my live i still never to go to work and school and handle my business. I could care less if a person was skinny verse fat. What does their body have to do with me. Nothing. Everyone should enjoy their body and themselves and stop worrying about other people. And this is what causes bullying people harsh opinions
I do not think you read it all a big % of our taxes are used on fat people! It is ridiculous
but these big companies are paying the government to allow these products be sold... How can a parent go to jail for child abuse because their child becomes obese when the foods we eat kill us.. reduced this no added sugar that... junk food is junk food period. All processed foods make everyone sick just cause a person is skinny or average wight/size doesn't mean they won't get the same diseases as obese people. Obese people are sick inside and out and skinny/average size people are sick on the inside. Regardless of weight there are high numbers of chronic diseases that our food causes. I bet if we ate all natural organic non processed foods we'd wouldn't have these disease and problems.
A lot of this shit is because of technology. Do you remember the days when you would have a full game of wiffle ball (9 on 9) in your backyard... now kids play games on their phones!
I'm 26 and work my ass off at the gym (that's how I can eat a lot and not be fat). 6ft 170lbs
Personally if you are under 40 and obese you should pay more for health care, just like smoking!
Actually, the core of the problem is that pretty much any processed food is "low fat, added sugar".
I agree with you, I think shaming of any kind is ridiculous but being slim is not a cast iron guarantee of a healthy body, there are plenty of slim people with high blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol, not to mention high blood sugar levels.
Exactly! It's okay to not be skinny or to be thick but there's a line between healthy fat and unhealthy fat.
most times it shows how lazy people are. i hate people who get fat an den complain there fat. I hav to work for my body lik so many others so i dont see why its ok to go to macdonalds evryday an complain bout bein fat xxx
Not gonna lie babe your body says otherwise
@TakeOwner: what is wrong with her shape? She's fine.
wot do u mean
I mean they should never call obesity beatiful, like so it's beautiful to be unhealthy?
Haha you know a lot of overweight people got upstairs by that. We all know that being obese isn't good, as it slowly kills the body, but people don't like to here the truth.
People fucking hate hearing the truth, especially about being fat
You can be fat and still be healthier than a skinny person. That's a fact.
And skinny is not equal to unhealthy, either. It all depends on your nutrition. A girl who starves herself to stay super skinny is doing her body no good, but neither is the obese girl who overeats on healthy food. I suppose that at least the latter gets ample nutrition, but it's still too much.
I see it as it's not my business what someone else weighs. Besides I have more important things to worry about in my own life than to worry about something that really doesn't affect me.
As far as taxes, I don't pay medical taxes. Also, you don't know how much you really spend. It's like people here bitching about how they pay for other people to have food stamps so they can eat. In reality, they pay an average of $16 a year. It takes about nine years of that to even cover one month of food stamps for ONE person in a household. In the meantime, they pay taxes to government who pocket it. The rich are getting richer and people bitch about the poor.
I've never skinny shamed and I'm fatter than hell lol. Kudos for working hard for a beautiful body!
They're being taught, by sinister, hidden elites, that their sedentary, unhealthy lifestyles are good for them.
i accidentally downvoted
blame illuminati
I agree people need to workout, eat less it's not hard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeUaJ8HjNVsThat rap tho :D
All kind of shaming is wrong, whether It's towards thin people or overweight people
What if we shame mass murders, or pedos etc? Is that wrong?
No that wouldn't be wrong. Learn To Read I Said Thin AND Overweight People
"all kind of shaming is wrong"
shaming pedophiles is a type of shaming
condor you made a mistake typing that own up to it and we can all laugh this off without you getting butthurt
You two girls are being stupid and nitpicking, particularly because he narrowed down the shaming about issues of WEIGHT.
If you two dumbasses need a clarification, I can assist.
Whether people shame thin/overweight people based off of how they look, feel, health problems, or more, it is wrong.
Or are you two still fucking retarded and embarrassments of the female gender? :)
Thank you @rationallioness for getting my point. .
Lol wtf obsesity is far from OK and skinny over fat any day
Agreed. Why are these fat girks down voting u? Oh right... they're fat
I downvoted because she input her biased perspective in the issue and I'm not fat all. You're so stupid.
