Obesity is immoral & bad for the environment. Agree?

[USLegionary]

Obesity is immoral for the food that is wasted, how it drives up health insurance premiums, how it normalises being unhealthy and of course how bad it it for the environment. Think about it an obese person eats maybe at least 4 times what a person at a healthy weight eats which means higher carbon emissions to both produce, transport and cook the food, then there's the extra weight and space they take up in aircraft, buses, trains, ferries. Even their own cars use more gas and need maintenance more often. Also of course obese people use more air-conditioned. They also require more fabric to cloth them. They also use more water and soap to wash.

We need to round them all up and concentrate them in special fat camps until they lose weight.

How very dare you, genetics are not immoral

America would be more green if we eliminated obesity...

So many obese people coming out of the wood work to defend their immoral life choices.

Thinking things through is hard, isn't it?

Food that is eaten isn't wasted. A person consuming 8,000 Calories per day is not overweight; they are a horse. Plants do not produce any greenhouse gasses; most of them in fact ABSORB carbon dioxide; this is a big part of why deforestation is so dangerous, as you were taught in grade school. Nor does an extra hundred pounds notably affect the performance of a vehicle that weighs THOUSANDS of them. Bigger people DO require more fabric to clothe them, yes, but again, plants REDUCE CO2 in the air. They WOULD require more electricity to run A/C systems, but since they're LESS likely to dress against the weather, that's not really a factor.

The two (and yes, there are only two) medical conditions that being fat actually causes aren't lethal, and while many of the hundreds of conditions that being fat is a risk factor for ARE, only a handful of them have "being fat" as a primary risk factor; it's just one of the few risk factors that people can *control*.

If you REALLY wanted to improve morality and environmental conditions, you'd point out that the biggest drain on our society and environment isn't obesity, but old age, and advocate that anyone over the age of 65 be placed in a special camp until they've become young again. But you're not; you're just annoyed by fat people and spouting the usual rhetoric without looking at the facts. Which is evidence of senility; you'd be on the first bus.

Insurance isn’t expensive because people use it. It’s expensive because it’s a racket.

Fat people aren’t wasting food if they’re actually eating it. Food being thrown away is wasteful. We’re SUPPOSED to eat food, and we’re capable of storing leftovers to be eaten later.
If you’re religious, you can make the argument that obesity is immoral because gluttony is one of the capital vices. But religion doesn’t have a monopoly on morality, and here in the US gluttony is the American way! Ell oh ell!
It’s clear what you’re trying to do. Unfortunately for you, for the most part fat people are only hurting themselves. Plus, we’re great for the economy! We spend more on food. We buy more and bigger clothes. We are often spending money on fad diets, fitness crazes and exercise equipment. We’re bringing down the cost of gym memberships by paying but never going. Say what you want, but the single most prominent defining characteristic about the US is our egregious use of capitalism, and fat people are great for the economy. Do you want the economy to fail and our entire society to crumble? No? Then mind your own waistline and let me mind mine! Ell oh ell!

@ChefPapiChulo you got a bit of junk in the trunk. You agree?

[NotTacocaT6969]

@USLegionary shut your old ass up if you have nothing intelligent to say.

Either admit that you were wrong or admit that you’re too immature to admit you were wrong.

[USLegionary]

@NotTacocaT6969 but I'm not wrong...

[NotTacocaT6969]

@USLegionary you can tell yourself that you’re right as much as you want, but you’re not.

You made a statement about your personal beliefs and used your opinions in place of legitimate facts.

You look like an old ignorant fool to everyone on this website except yourself.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Your lack of educational n is immoral and bad for the environment.


If you want to talk about wasted food, go to your local grocery store on garbage day and watch enough food to feed your entire town for a week get shipped off to a landfill.


Imagine writing an entire article just to tell people on a low-key website that you personally don’t like anyone who isn’t suffering from anorexia.


Go outside.

[USLegionary]

An obese person eats enough food every day that'd feed a family of 4.

[NotTacocaT6969]

And yet even with them eating as much as they do, 500x that rots in a landfill.

[USLegionary]

Waste is immoral but so is gluttony. Think of the environment.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Overweight people are irrelevant to the environment.

You just hate them and are very desperate for some kind of logical reason that would possibly make others agree.

But most people are not that stupid.

[USLegionary]

You eat 2-10times as much as a healthy person which requires a lot more carbon emissions to both produce and transport. Lose weight.

[NotTacocaT6969]

You just confirmed my accusation.

Now anybody who calls you out on your bullshit is overweight.

And again, your math is off.

You would not pass the third grade being that bad at math…

There are 10 apples and 5 people.

Each person eats 5 apples. The remaining 5 apples go in the garbage.

How many apples were wasted?

5.

There are 10 apples and 5 people.

Supply and demand is no longer relevant.

A large percentage of the population has become vegetarian or vegan.

The amount of animals slaughtered for meat has not changed.

The only thing that has changed is how many died for nothing more than to be garbage.

Either you really are an irrelevant geezer or you’re a 10 year old with a fake age to be this out of touch with reality.

[SaoirseS]

Statistically you have only about three years left to live. Get off the net and go enjoy your sunset years, and quit worrying about what others do.

Bro that women's not fat lol that's thicc in a good way not obese at all.

[USLegionary]

If she take up more than one airplane seat she obese

[FunkyMonkee]

She's not really even fat. Just a bit overweight. My first girlfriend was more of a porker than her!

[FunkyMonkee]

We're not defending immoral choices! If you wanna pick on someone fat, go after John Candy or Rosie O'Donnell, not some little pleasingly plump chubbette! Whoopie Goldberg's starting to moo, go after her!!

[joeldalton]

How far are you willing to go to control people’s lives?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Ashley Graham is the body type I like. 👌

[USLegionary]

[ChefPapiChulo]
