There’s a disturbing trend going on in America these days with rewriting science to fit ideology. We’ve gone from fat acceptance to fat celebration. pic.twitter.com/r0zmqtamUl

I know everyone is not the same, but this caught my attention.

I coach a 5th grade football team in Overland Park, KS. I have a handful of kids completely out of shape. They get tired and complain within first 20 min of practice.

Kids are alarmingly overweight these days.

Winners write history and right now the obese are winning as they approach being roughly half the population.

Being fat is the #1 cause of almost every bad health outcome we have but suddenly being fat is now healthy. Being fat kills you early and stresses our healthcare system beyond capacity. And it's all the more insane when we know that about half the deaths from Covid were obese people.

But the fat Karen's and black women in this country have managed to hijack the narrative and tell the rest of us that they should be celebrated for it.

I was once fat..like 310lbs fat; now I'm down to 194 and still not to my goal. So I did something about my weight, got VSG surgery changed how I eat and what I put in my body. I couldn't stand how I looked for my wife.

Do I still go out to eat, yep? Do I still have a few drinks, yep? Do I workout five days a week, yep.

These people want to be lazy, plain, and simple. I have a brother and sister who are this way, and it drives me nuts that they could easily fix it.

what's crazy is the lazy fatties would call every word you wrote "fat shaming."

Fatties need to be shamed. Obesity is insanely unhealthy and you've probably added at least a decade to your life by taking affirmative action like you did. Nice work on your part.

The upside of fat acceptance is that since being a porker is so unhealthy, the herds will "thin" themselves naturally.

Good work, sir.

Lifestyle change. My doctor scared me with the term pre-diabetic. I'm by no means perfectly healthy, but 5+ years later I'm still down 50+ lbs. I know I can never go back to eating how I used to, but I'm so used to it that I feel physically bad if I eat processed carbs. Most fatties just want acceptance for their lack of willpower and laziness.

Looking on the bright side, the obese population puts less stress on Social Security by self eliminating usually toward the end of their working career. Helps keep long term retirement payouts funded for the rest of us.

Recently returned from vacation and did a couple of bikes rides in the area.

There was a Margaritaville resort near where we stayed. The number of land manatees and generally overweight people waddling about was disgusting.

So, I made sure to do multiple laps of the climb from the lake edge up to the main road to demonstrate how it's done.

Thank you!

It's pathetic when people like Rebel Wilson and Adele get attacked on social media for losing weight and not embracing their fatness. Instead of being congratulated for being healthy, they are shamed for turning their back on being a role model for the obese.

I would say losing weight is being a good role model.

I'm not going to go out of my way to rude to someone to their face about their weight, but this trend is extremely dangerous. Why are people ignoring the health problems associated with being overweight? Our health care system is already overburdened with obesity-related conditions. This angers me.

The obese write history so history will always be biased.

Kids are alarmingly overweight, and what that's doing is affecting our military recruitment. In the same segment, Bill talked about how the recruitment rates are missing their goals and one of the two reasons is because the people (kids) that they target are over the weight limit or have a criminal record.

Our kids being too overweight to serve, even if they want to, can become an issue in a few years.

As for the celebrating of the obese, that's yet another "woke" thing of this younger generation. I've lost nearly a hundred pounds from nothing but exercise and diet and it takes years when you still eat real food, but it can be done. People are either too lazy or too happy with how they are, and that's fine, that affects my life not one bit, but to celebrate it, that's where I draw the line. If for nothing more than it's unhealthy.

Another good point Bill said was about the rates of deaths when covid hit and how it affects those who were obese.

Let's keep building more far-flung car-centric suburbs that discourage walking and playing outdoors so kids can sit inside playing video games and watching TV and getting fat.

Doest the military feed the recruits? Can't they force them to lose weight?

Read the book Salt-Sugar-Fat and you will understand why we are in the shape we are in.

This right here. My wife has always been fit and thin (humble brag), and it's amazing how often over the years people take that as an angle to say something rude.

I'm wondering if there will come a time where they let them of overweight and add months to their basic training just so they can be in shape for what the military needs them to be.

It's already happening. Military has "fat camps" during basic for the fat bodies that can't pass a PFT. They stay in fat camp until they can pass then start basic again.

This is a causation/correlation issue and a weird argument. Kids in the urban core are watching the same TV, playing the same games, and aren't outdoors remotely as much as suburban kids because of the rampant crime and lack of green spaces.

It's far healthier for kids to be in the suburbs. It's way parents move to them, if they can.

Yeah, agree with you for the most part. I'm talking more idealistically and less practically. Our sprawl development pattern is way too big of a monster to ever fix, and the inner cities are (with a few exceptions) crime-ridden crapholes. I'd certainly move to the burbs if I had kids, too.

My sister was in the Navy. She enlisted after she graduated from high school in 1967. She gained 20 lbs in basic training and still only weighed 115. She said it was from having 3 meals per day for the first time in her life. It seems like even people considered poor don't go days without eating the way we did growing up.

I get the walkability desire. I prefer it as well. Some outlying communities are trying to be better about that but you are basically stuck without it for any community that isn't being planned or brand new right now.

There is nothing more gross in this world than watching a fat person shove food in their mouth. Absolutely disgusting. Fat people are repugnant.

One of the worst things about this body positivity bs is that these young fat women wear disgustingly small clothes that show off their fat ass bodies. I wish I could just stand on the street corner shaming every one that walks by.

Obesity is the single biggest drag on the US healthcare system. It's shocking that people would encourage being overweight or obesity. Might as well encourage smoking

It really is incredible. Might as well flip the script on the opioid epidemic and start telling everyone its good for us.

Saw a recent propel or Gatorade commercial with a morbidly obese woman in spandex needing to rehydrate after her "exercise". Yeah suck down some sugar water after your standing yoga pose "exercise" that resulted in zero calories burned and zero perspiration.

My initial thought was that the genes of those who choose to be obese will self select out of society from the other gender choosing not to procreate with them, due to looking like a walrus, and higher mortality rates. Then I leave my house and realize that the majority of people in this country are fat, are married to other fat people, and modern medicine prolongs the life of people who make bad decisions long enough to pass the habits to their kids.

Therefore, I conclude that this trend will continue and that my insurance premiums will continue to prop up these lazy and disgusting human beings.

I can attest to the military concern. Years ago it was a major recruiting concern. And it's not just the fat, either. General musculoskeletal health is down, too. 18yo bodies in these generations are less resilient.

A life of physical stagnation generates shin splints, broken bones, ligament issues, etc in far higher promotion than in past (active) generations. They've invested heavily in physical therapy tool for a 13 week boot camp!

at the Asbury Park beach on the Jersey shore this morning

right next to me two buffalo sized white women. one had a fat pre-teen boy that looked right out of Willy Wonka

but the youngest daughter was thin and cute

the only really hot and in shape gals were a group of 4 Puerto Rican high school girls

walking around NYC today has been dissapointing, the only hotties are foreign tourists

The fat black lady. She's the poster child for that product with fat black ladies generally being the face of the movement. Get to check off two virtue signals at once.
