i'm really bad with visualizing height vs weight

i'm 190 so i figured 200 wasn't quite land whale status yet


Yeah I looked up that website Sakuraba said. It's right on the line between disgusting and land-whale.

If I kidnap someone who is known for fatshaming people... and then forcefeed them until they become fat, so I can show them how it feels.... does that make me a psycho?

u really think their gona give a sht abt fat shaming, when theyve been abducted and away from family, friends and being force fed? lol.

Fat shaming isnt the best way. its just an easy way, to try to get people to lose weight. almost like how its easy to hit your kid, instead of sitting down and reasoning.
They must not only be encouraged, but need people in their life who are making healthier choices. as it stands they obviously are indifferent to losing weight, but when they see first hand
the benefits and are invited to, and motivated they will do it, even if its a slow start. This is how ive seen it happen. Getting obese took them a long time, and getting back to a proper weight should
also be a slow and steady progress.

A lot of people that fat shame either a) understand how losing weight works or b ) were previously fat themselves. They would just lose the weight again... While seeing a therapist...

My ultimate fantasy is kidnapping several families and injecting one member with happy hormones while I kill the rest in front of them. I want to see if I can get a cocktail that will turn the experience into one that is viewed positively in the long term.

Damn ethics boards....

Even medical professionals don't know why some people get fat but others don't despite having similar lifestyles. Of course i'm gonna believe a keyboard warrior that didn't happen to be fat.

We know why the increased obesity rates are happening.

People are overeating every day of their lives and eating well above 3k calorie a day.

The easy access to food with carbs everywhere makes it easy to just gorge your heart out. And most people don't realize how calorie dense certain carbs can be. Or how important calories are to your daily diet.

Some people will have more issues losing weight or easier time gaining it but the current trends are entirely from overeating.


Also do we consider this video fat shaming? I feel this is the correct approach to maybe get the message across , that something has to change. To stop obesity, people have to have the desire to change to better themselves and be better for the people who care about them.

Similar to how we have reduced Tobacco use by mass marketing of the ills, mass marketing about how bad overeating and obesity is maybe gives people the motivation to have the discipline to change their life.

Well I speaking as a very obese man in the four hundred weight range..

I can tell ya we should judge anyone because of there physical features. :D ;) XD

And I am not saying this because I am a heavy set man.. But it is the truth.

To me a person's personality and their actions is whether that person should be shamed or not. :D ;) XD

Not their body because I am heavy cause of my disorders.

sure they do

it's overeating and the people who say they don't eat so much are simply lying to themselves and everyone else around them
