yeah anorexics need to eat more, however there is nowhere near as many anorexics as there is overweight whales taking up all the space on the pavement

Don't see anyone demonising anorexics, too many nazii's on here

Actually this is a fair point - current social norms tell us saying "don't eat that pie" is ok, but saying "eat a fecking pie" is not. It's a minefield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
actually, telling people to lose weight and be healthy is frowned upon as you hurt their 'feelings'

Imagine how good Gazza could have been if he hadn't have eaten all those pies.

Anorexia is classed as a mental health disorder. Should being overweight be classed as a mental health disorder too? Could call it big fat mess disorder.

Can't clipboard on my phone, but ask Google who lives longer, overweight or normal weight people, and the first line is an article from the Independent which gives the facts.

It's not a national issue to not eat to the point you die though is it where as being a fat lazy fvck who ends up with diabetes is.

Trouble is they breed.

Right, now you're assuming everyone who's overweight is also a "lazy fack"

I work with plenty of people who would be deemed overweight but they make it to work everyday and put a shift in, paying their taxes and contributing to the national budget
I suppose you'd have more respect for them if they were rakish bagheads who didn't work and who didn't get more material than yourself in the shirts they stole

People who drink too much, ride motorbikes, take drugs, don't have a job, get into fights, climb mountains in trainers all cost something on the NHS.
Bring back the Puritans according to some on here.

Churchill smoked, drank, was fat, had just a little stress, lived till he was 93.
The chap who invented jogging died of a heart attack, whilst jogging, at 50 something.

that doesnt mean anything

How did someone "invent" jogging? It's just running slowly.

Bloody Americans*.


*Sorry, this is my assumption here; that only an an American would claim to invent walking slightly faster than everyone else.

Feck me, he was a Kiwi.

and actually churchill was in good shape when he was young, idc if people start getting fat when they get old

Still believe i shouldn't pay more for the same clothing as someone else if i use less material.

James F. Fixx. He was 52.

The material cost is immaterial, geddit. But seriously the work, overheads, transport and tax are the costs. And extra inch of cotton makes no difference.

Clothes have always been the same cost regardless of size apart from kids sizes, why do you feel the need to use this to have a pop a large/fat people?

Are any of those morbidly obese because they're the ones I'm talking about. Don't know what the baghead stuff is about.

I was asked to bring up a 44 (forty fvcking four) stone patient once. Had to use a special trolly as hospital beds only hold 35 stone. Two fire engines and an ambulance to drop him off, sat him in a special chair that made me look like a borrower and his son, who was clearly going the same way, brought him up a family bag of Maltesers and 2 litres of lucazade.

Just fvck off.

Been lying down for three days in his own wee so ended up with burns and cellulitis.

So no, I don't respect that.

Found half a cheese sandwich under a womans t!t once. True story.

OK. Popularised it, wrote a book.

We all know a story about someone's nan who smoked 20 woodbines a day and drank four glasses of cherry with a steak.

The other 99% died at 58.

Robbing. Do we? I don't. Both my parents lived until 86.Dad smoked until he was 70,but thin, didn't drink, bowel cancer. Mum plump, didn't smoke or drink, cervical cancer. Genes are most of it, but smoking is not a good idea.
