Portion sizes is what sells. The biggest, greasiest, saltiest slab of pseudo-food wins, that's what gets customers to drive past fast food joint A and stop at fast food joint B. 1200 calories of fries > 1000 calories of fries.
I just ate at Arby's for the first time in ages and got a medium combo. Holy shit you should see how big the medium fries were. I should have taken a picture. The medium drink is most likely 32oz because I have it right next to my 32oz water bottle at my desk now and they are like the same size.
So as others have mentioned, portion sizes are out of control here!
You could try reading. That helps.
We are rapidly reaching a point where number of people are fucked from birth. There's a strong genetic component to being overweight as well as a learned response through your parents. Put both together and it's a terribly difficult thing to fix when you are obese and showing insulin resistance by the age of 12. They are setup at an incredibly early age to be overweight the rest of their life.
Yup, not even bothering with that. I skimmed it and saw nothing but excuses anyways.Its not difficult.just stop throwing food in your mouth.And no i didnt read your boring wall of text.
Jesus,dont cut out beer!.Human happines should come first.Christ im sounding like oprah
Do you want a wake up call? I got one for you. This will do a lot more to alert you to the nature of the problem and what you can do about it, both in terms of policy and self-awareness-change than looking at any statistics. And yeah, seeing all those fat bodies and thinking to yourself about it does help, or should. It's an amazing documentary from 2014 called Fed UP, written and directed by Stephanie Soechtig, whose earlier films attacked GMO foods and the bottled water industry, it's narrated by Katie Couric.

Oh I'm not denying that and that is how most of our fatass society thinks, but me personally I'd rather get the smaller size. That's why I got a medium thinking it would be small. I can eat the large and XL stuff, I just don't want or need to, neither do most people. It's part of the reason I like Chic-fil-a due to portion sizes. Their combo sizes are very reasonable and I don't leave there feeling like a piece of shit.Portion sizes is what sells.

I'm pretty sure I read Australians are the fattest on earth. I think the US is number 2.For sure. England and Australia are doing their best to catch up.
This thread is long overdue for some food porn.
Easy for you to say, but maybe you dont have an addictive personality. After all, someone who smokes should just stop sticking cigs in their mouth and an alcoholic should just stop throwing drinks down their throat. After all "it is not difficult". I have never smoked or used drugs, and have no problem having a few drinks, or skipping them all together. Not eating unhealthy or too much food is still not that easy, especially if you have family/friends that like to eat out a lot or simply eat too much, because there definitely is social pressure to go along with them.Its not difficult.just stop throwing food in your mouth.And no i didnt read your boring wall of text.
Yes, anything is more useful and productive than the waste of time that is telling fat people what's wrong with them. If they don't care, no one else should either. Everyone on here acts like they have to have sex with them or something, it's weird honestly, going back to what is essentially 4th grade humor of calling someone 4 eyes for wearing glasses. Guess some never grow up.

I agree, and dont like to judge people based on their weight. However, I think we should have some type of program that offers a discount on health insurance premiums for those who are of normal BMI and/or can document that they exercise regularly.
2 of my coworkers drink Coke all day. i've never seen them drink water. im not sure how they are alive.
obviously they are beyond fat. how fat? i dont even see their necks.
scary.
One of my guys drinks mountain dew all day and night, his morning consists of cracking a mountain dew as soon as he wakes up and then grabbing more for the rest of the day and maybe some sugary donuts/candy if he feels like eating breakfast that day. He admittedly never drinks water and even goes to bed with mountain dew on his night stand. Hes been doing it for decades but somehow hes skinny as a rail and not dead. He complains his fingers go numb when he eats which from his own research is a sign of diabetes. Doesn't stop him from consuming ridiculous amounts of sugar or even getting checked out by a doctor.
I haven't drank pop in years, when I think back to how in grade school we thought it was cool to drink large amounts of the stuff it makes me cringe.
Lawn darts, definitely the ban on lawn darts.Bans on dodgeball, tag etc...
