If only you weren't fat, you could live forever! (Page 2)

[mehhem]

I mean it's just fact that having diabetes isn't healthy and having introvestricular fat heightens the risk of cardiovascular problems, I don't really care if someone is fat but it's just wrong to state that it's not unhealthy ( with some very fringe exceptions of where it is healthy and some exceptions where it's healthier than being 'thin').

[DorkVader]

But there are plenty of thin people with diabetes 💁🏿‍♀️

[mehhem]

Yes but being having more fat and having diabetes have the same cause, unhealthy eating or unlucky genetics. You can have unlucky genetics, eat well and be fat, you can have unlucky genetics, eat well and have diabetes but most people don't have unlucky genetics, that's why they're unlucky.

@DorkVader "But there are plenty of thin people with diabetes ‍"

Thats like saying "There are people that dont smoke that have lung cancer so I may as well just smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day"

[DorkVader]

@Hunter7754 Actually it's like saying no one harasses thin diabetics like they harass fat people, diabetic or not

[Jackpot777Returns]

Nobody is saying it is healthy to be obese but I know thin people who are medicine and huge fat people who never have needed to be on medicine so it is a very complicated thing. I have fat old neighbors who were fat when I met them or first saw them and are still here. Look at John Goodman he was always real fat and still here he finally lost weight but everyone is different. You can be paper thin and get cancer at 22 and die from it.

[mehhem]

Well yes but those are the exceptions not the rule, GENERALLY people that aren't fat are healthy, that says NOTHING about any single fat person or any single thin person.

@DorkVader there's two types of diabetes type 1 witch is almost entirely genetic and type 2 witch is mostly caused by what you consume. And type 1 causes you to loose weight.

[Jackpot777Returns]

@Codywow Anybody can get diabetes whether they are fat or not some people just get it even type 2. It can be a genetic thing as well.

[Codywow]

@Jackpot777Returns that why i used the word mostly

[redcheeks]

Not being fat means lesser health problems which also means happier life. But different people have different way of being happy.

And besides, fat skinny fit healthy, everyone's gonna die anyway. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[andreasderjuengere]

Now being educated by you: I still won't date an overweight. It just doesn't look the way I'd like it to look.

[jpalma]

Justify obesity with "Cancer can also kill you" is just an excuse. Shaming people for their appearance is bad (size, color...), but on the other hand there's no deny that living healthy will increase the quality of life regardless of your death

[beesechurger]

Forget about being fat. Who even wants to live forever

[webelong2yehovah]

If you want to know about living forever, you could ask these people:

Should we not encourage people to try to be fit and healthy?

[alelectro]

Yes, and I think there are a lot of positive and uplifting ways of doing that. But more often, I see what appears to be more like thinly veiled disgust or even direct hatred. People then justify that disgust by creating overly simplified and one-sided arguments. That's what I was getting at. That's not encouraging people. In my opinion, it's just an excuse for shaming and it's not helping anyone.

[forgotmyoldusername]

but see, the logic is that if people get fat, it's cheaper for the society (medical, pensions)

[WTFever]

Total BS. Everyone has a 100% chance of dying. No one can live forever.

[alelectro]

Yes, I meant the title to be taken as satire. Tl;dr is people fat shame as if weight is the only issue affecting health and healthcare. My opinion is it's more complicated than that and judgment tends to make things worse, not better.

[Pipeliner87]

Did they not tell you in the news that being FAT/obese is healthy?

[YvanKarma]

If only i had the looks

[_Unknown_Hacker_]

my fellow human , that was a whole lot.

[alelectro]

Yes, sorry about that. Need to learn to edit more :)

[_Unknown_Hacker_]

no its fine it was pretty suficcient.

[Anonymous]

I figured this was why

[alelectro]

Care to direct message me more? Your comment is cryptic and your anonymous, but if you're feeling irritated or judgmental, I'd like a chance to respond :/

Living forever without being fat would be great.
