I love it when theyre carting around in the grocery store because theyre too fat to walk. Then you find their basket full of junk food.

And parked in a handicapped space because they're considered 'physically disabled'. Oh, and their food is bought with EFT debit cards (your tax dollars at work).

Yes, there are genetics at play here. Probably lots of them. Different people reacts differently to various food. As a GENERAL rule, I'd say fast food is bad while activity is good.
I suspect that in 10-20 years there will be a menu based on your DNA.

There is also a problem between the ears. Talking to grossly overweight people about their weight is like speaking to smokers about smoking. Essentially, they'll skirt the issue with lots of good humour, feints and every dodge they can think of to get away from the theme.
We tend to run away or attack what we don't understand - and commiting slow suicide is definitly something we all would have difficulties with.

Also, losing weight takes time and dedication. Modern times is all about quick fixes. If you tell anyone you need more time than five minutes to make things right, they'll walk away in a huff (of course a completely unknown situation to anyone in IT-Support )

A third element is the commercial one. When you walk in to a food store, what are the first products to meet your eyes? What do people in films and television eat (and stays slim)? What food is prominent in advertisments?


I find the topic interestning since I've idly (touché) been trying to get rid of a few extra kilos/pounds for a few years. Once I keep strickly to the "good menu" (which agrees quite nicely with my digestion) AND uphold a high level of physical activity, the fat starts slipping away over a month or two. Once I stop paying attention, it creeps back. Well, I keep trying

Citrix:
Next time some flight attendent start fussing about my overnight bag being "overweight", I'll close the argument by just directing attention to the nearest whale

High metabolism here! Can eat like a mütherfvcker and not put on weight.

I'd actually like to be a bit heavier. Obviously not trying hard enough.

Wait till you are older, or you get injured. It will happen.

I've already posted this here once, but since more people keep chiming in with the same "I'm too skinny, can't gain weight", I'll say it again:

Everyone can gain weight if they eat enough. I know people on a bodybuilding board I frequent who have to eat 6k+ cals/day to gain weight. Yes they have a fast metabolism but it's not infinitely fast. You CAN beat it! I've posted my "gain weight" diet and strategies here before so I won't redo the whole thing, but here's a couple useful links:

Fitday

Track your cals on Fitday. If you aren't gaining weight after a week of eating the same amount, up your daily total by 200-300. Repeat until you are gaining weight. I assume you would be lifting weights during this time.

WBB Forums

For all your diet and training questions.

it's kinda sad that USA is the fatest country

I'd say if you are morbidly obese the best solution for you is to Get Hooked on Crack. I honestly never seen an overweight crack addict. :thumbsup:

All the fatties need to be rounded up and herded back into their pens to die.

Actually I think these obese people need to be rounded up and educated on how disgusting they are and how their health complications waste other people's money.

If they don't get their ****** together in a year, throw them in prison and give them 3 8 oz glasses of vitamin-enriched juice a day, and 1 meal day. If they die, oh well.

I am not saying that its not the fault of fat people, but when you ask in the OP "how does it happen?" it is because its like a drug for an addict, or booze for an alcoholic. It's not that it isn't the fault of the person, but at least you can understand how its hard not to lose the weight...
