"...Don't expect sympathy or special treatment."
Where does this come from? I don't understand why everyone keeps making comments like this. I don't know anyone who's overweight who expects to be treated differently. If anything, they (we) want to be treated just like everyone else. I never expected sympathy. I knew what I was doing was self-destructive.
I think it's time you all turn inwards & examine your own judgemental selves.

BonSerif,
my friend worked on a lot of the "I'm Lovin' It" campaign. Please don't shoot her.

this is an interesting thread!

Here's a rad book i'm reading called Fast Food Nation, here's the introduction that you can read, it's really good:

when i have a soda, sometimes at dinner, it is dr. pepper or pepsi.
excluding weight problems, soda in general is bad for you.
but, yea, i hate the taste of diet [insert soda name here].
water, unsweetned tea, juice. and my one official unhealthy vice, coffee.
i'm a coffee adict. i don't add sugar, but i do put milk in it from time to time.

schjetne, I am pretty sure the majority of obese people are NOT complaining it's somebody elses fault they are fat...
I think thats pretty uncommon actually (obviously not counting that bullshit lawsuit against macdonalds)... they know whats up... they know they are fat... and I can tell you, they don't like it... and they don't need assholes pointing it out them.
Note: I'm not saying thats what you're doing... I am saying it happens.

some people actually like the taste of diet coke though... i don't only full fat for me.

i have to admit, it is hard to have sympathy for anyone who weights 400 pounds and thinks it's ok to order 2 extra-large popcorns with extra butter and nachos at a movie theater (happened last night - the guy could barely walk to the theater without gasping for air).
when does it cross your mind that the way you treat yourself could possibly be the reason you're fat?
why 2 tubs of popcorn? why not just one? why not a medium or, parish the thought, a small?
and, what is more unnerving is they then order a diet coke. like that will make it ok.
if you are aware enough to order a diet coke, then you should be in control enough not to eat 2 tubs of buttery pop-corn and an order of nachos.
i'm sorry, i understand some poeple deal with mental problems, etc...but if you can't take responsibility for your health, don't expect sympathy or special treatment.
i eat healthy. i enjoy a beer now and then. i don't smoke. i excersise and play sports. this requires some dedication.
sure, it would be easy and nice just to hit mcd's for lunch everyday. drink soda and beer everynight instead of bland water. and, it would certainly be easier in life not to force myself to run or work out everyday...but, i also want to be incontrol of my body and health.
if people want to eat like crap, and get fat...not my problem and i don't care...but don't bitch and whine about it.
humans have free-will for a reason. no one held a gun to you head and made you eat those 2 tubs of popcorn...you ordered them and you ate them.
if you're not strong enough, mentally to make yourself eat healthier, get help. there are counsellers and therapists that can help you.

i think alot of the general public doesnt realise how bad it is for you - even once in a while

bleah!
fast food scares me!

I'm not saying losing weight is easy, I am not spitting on fat people. I'm just trying to say this: Don't go out there with the oh-i'm-so-fat thing when you have just finished an extra large meal on mcd's or burger king.
That shit ain't helping, and if you want to live till your 40, you better start taking charge of your body instead of blaiming society or mcds or whatthefuckever.

interesting topic - nice to read everyone's views on it.
I myself haven't been into a McD's for years - and I won't ever again - especially after reading Fast Food Nation.

the last time a country tried a national diet and exercise plan was germany in wwii. that didn't work out that well.
i love the freedom we have in the usa. don't tread on me.
that said, it's all about educating folks and economics. educate people on how to eat and make cheap food healthy. it's hard to get someone to want a soy lunch for $20 when a triple cheeseburger is .99 cents.
cheers,

i haven't seen any warnings, i think they made the nutritional information a little more accessible though so peole could more easily check out how unhealthy alot of that stuff is...
- subSTANCE0
yeah... tfs__mag has himself a point... that is total bullshit.
I am also one of those former overweight people... and people really don't understand how hard it can be being fat... I can also understand how odd that would sound to somebody who has never been overweight...
I do admit that I look at those who are overweight and well into adulthood wondering how they let it get that bad... however I also realize it's a hard road.
haaaa... don't I sound like a preachy bitch.

where was that thing where the dudewas making a documentary about how he ate nothing but mcds for like a month and was talking about how his health went to hell...
