You can read this, i found it quite accurate and comical.

/e as for #6 i think the US should follow the UKs footsteps and require fat people to go to the gym to receive assistance.

I guess what I'm about to say completely perpetuates the entire article but seriously?!

"In other words, if you have a plus-sized waist, the entire world is demonstrably, objectively against you. And there’s not a thing you can do about it."

How about go to a fucking gym and lose some weight. The reason the world has such a negative vision of obesity is because in almost every instance there is no good excuse to be that way.

If you're fat, it generally means you're not motivate - lazy and overall less valuable as an employee, or any other situation.
There are several exceptions of course, such as a very talkative and happy fat person won't often be seen in a negative light.

If you're going to socialize health care, you have to socialize having people look after themselves, so as not to create unnecessary drain on the system.

Fat/Unhealthy people have no right to complain in socialized or semi-socialized countries... let's see how well they'd hold up without all the free support they get.

generally that may have some truth to it, but just because you're overweight doesn't mean you're a shitty worker. My mom is a perfect example of that. She's the best worker I've just about ever known. Great work ethic and has been her own boss most of my life.

However, she's fat and she's lazy as fuck as soon as she gets home when it comes to physical exercise. She's tired from work which is why she does nothing. Partly why anyway

Bottom line is she doesn't see a need to change so she won't. When it comes to work she's not lazy at all, but in other areas she's horribly lazy because it's something she doesn't want to do.

Same goes for a lot of people I know who are gym rats, except it's the opposite. They have great work ethic in the gym, but are absolutely fucking useless in the workplace.

What it comes down to is a lot of people don't have the discipline to develop into habit the things they actually dislike doing. They do it here and there, and then say fuck it because it's uncomfortable.

This is legit and im also a perfect example of this. I train hard and do my best to eat right, but other than that im a piece of shit lol. I hate having to get up for work but id get up at 5am no problem if i knew it was the only time id be able to lift.

In England we don't really require anything of fat people. Of course we can't hold a candle to the US, but obesity is still very high here. The only difference is that our diet is slightly less shitty than yours.
