I saw something today, and it made me realize how terrible society has become.

[mojovonio]

Back in the olden days, if you were weak you'd be left behind. No one gave a fuck. If you became a fatty McFatty, no one would take you on adventures. Can't get yourself up on a horse? Too bad, fucking walk.

Today, I witnessed an obese woman pay for her order, copious amounts of Lebanese food, enough to feed 3 small armies, with a debit card. Only she used the worst creation of mankind to input her PIN number.

A dialing wand.

I was saying to myself, if you're at a point where you have to use a dialing wand, you may want to cut down on some of that food.

People like this piss me off because they're fucking useless and take up way too much space.

Does Luna Clover live in Montreal btw?

[demi]

would you fuck lunaclover?

[Robo]

PIN pad buttons are a goddamn distinguished thin fellow conspiracy.

[demi]

i would probably, if i didnt have to look at her face. she has some nice funbags.

[demi]

that's ok. i'm still getting pity fucked. i am pleased.

[Madrun Badrun]

grotesquely obese people should be sold and feed to the rich.

[Madrun Badrun]

Feed them to the starving dogs.

Then how will I make money at my future job of fatty wrangler? 

[brawndolicious]

Thats what you get for injecting beef with growth hormones and the rest of you're genetically modified food Americanos 

There's no health benefit to organic food.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I like vegans   

[Mr. Gundam]

YOU'VE UPSET THE VEGAN!

Um, what does organic food have to do with being vegan?

I only buy organic milk and meat.

[Fragamemnon]

our problem is honestly corn, I don't think growth hormones and GM foods are nearly as much a health problem as the fact that there's just too much empty carbs in most shit you buy unless you are really dilligent on making everything from scratch by yourself (which is basically what I wind up doing).

grass fed beef is the bomb, there is a farm 30m away where I regularly get anything I want.

[Brehvolution]

I bought a quarter beef (grassfed) two weeks ago.  My inlaws are bringing it this weekend.

How much is that? Are you charged by the pound?

[WrikaWrek]

You know, the other day i was at this restaurant, went out on a sort of "dinner party" with a large group of friends.

So, this fat, 10 year old girld, with a belly that was just impressive, was being shown by the cook, on how to make this sort of banana split or whatever, it was a banana cut in half with like 4 balls of ice cream, and the cook was like "Now you can teach your mother" etc etc.

I was like "Man, i don't think her parents should let her eat that", but whatever. So on my way out, i see this girl, with her fat ugly mother, her fat father, and her poor fat younger sister.

I wanted to go there and tell to that bitch of a mother, that she should look after her daughters physical and mental health, and how it was because of bitches like her that certain women have terrible lifes.

Just good god man, go be a fat bitch if that's what you wanna be, but don't drag your daughters into that shitty place.

Fucking parents.

[Brehvolution]

About 600.  You get some pretty crazy stuff that you have to figure out how to cook.  I'm also friends with the guy i get my lamb and pork from, so i've learned to cook a lot of offal and weird cuts of meat.  Americans are so fucking wasteful with their food animals, and most of the meat eaters would blanche at some of the stuff i cook.

My wife and I are thinking about going in on a cow with some friends. We'd each end up with a quarter cow.

We totally need to revive the What are you Cooking? thread. I made homemade gnocchi with broccoli rabe and fresh chicken sausage last night.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

As for milk, if you aren't buying milk from someplace responsible you have no idea how disgusting what you're drinking is.

What, you don't like pus in your milk?

[brawndolicious]

There's no health benefit to organic food.

what in the fuck are you talking about?

There is a taste benefit but there's a negligible difference in how healthy it is.  Some organic or inorganic foods might have a little more protein or nutrients but it's usually a couple percent difference so it's not noticeable.  The trade-off is that you get A LOT lower yields using organic farming so it's not really worth it for the taste difference.

I can respect eating grass-fed cattle or cage-less eggs or whatever, but there's no real argument against the use of genetic and hormonal modifications like Kosma was saying.

[Mr. Gundam]

but there's no real argument against the use of genetic and hormonal modifications like Kosma was saying.

What about young girls getting their periods much earlier than they used to, or has that been disproven?

[brawndolicious]

What about young girls getting their periods much earlier than they used to, or has that been disproven?

How was that even linked to GM or hormonally modified foods in the first place?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Your stomach breaks down the little growth hormone you take.

I don't know about the girls getting periods younger than they used to other than maybe better quality of life for children today.

[Eel O'Brian]

i'll worry about hormones in foods after i figure out why i've been lactating for the past few months

[Cormacaroni]

I think they mostly relied on observations, for example an article I read once talking about how the different male obesity was (a long time ago vs. now). They said that back then the male would always get bigger around the wait, more towards the belly area and less towards ass. They considered bigger male chest (man-breasts) and huge thighs a major concern since that's where females' fat gets shifted. So of course they went to blame hormone-injected food.

But in the end, they had nothing to back it up with, purely observational.

More growth hormone should result in greater muscle mass, not a redistribution of fat. This makes zero sense to me.
Both the quantity and quality of food have to be taken into consideration in tackling the obesity problem though.

[CrystalGemini]

Also, changing the way Americans think.  It's a cultural problem more than anything.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I agree with this.

I was fat for a while (up to 275 lbs) and it had nothing to do with whether there were hormones injected into cattle or not.  It had everything to do with overeating combined with a lack of activity.  I wound up dropping all the weight and it was because I made better choices of food and remained active.

Every fat person claims that genetics is an issue but for most of them, it isn't.  Most of these people sit around in an office and then go home to sit and watch TV.  If you also make some stops at McDonalds, I guarantee you that your waistline will be expanding.  Besides, even if it was genetics, that just means you have to work harder.

That's why I said it was purely based on observation. All they did was just connect some dots, they saw food getting injected around the same time the form male obesity changed.

I did some reading in the interim which refreshed my memory on this. Despite the name, studies suggest that growth hormone doesn't seem to have any effect on human muscle growth, even if injected in large quantities. It's basically inert. The only good it does athletes who take is that it boosts their recovery. It's a very complex question though, and exercise and the rest of the person's diet have to be taken into consideration.

I'm amazed we haven't unearthed any angry fatties so far. The last thread we had on this was spectacular.

[brawndolicious]

Your stomach breaks down the little growth hormone you take.

I don't think that hormones get broken down but you're going to produce a lot more hormones than you're going to eat from a cow anyways.

Cows treated with the bovine growth hormone (BST) produce milk that is identical to regular cows hormonally.  There is a higher protein content in inorganic milk though but proteins get denatured during digestion if you're really afraid of them.  The one negative about BST cows is that the cow's health is negatively affected.  That is the only reason that the EU banned it.

WTF is a dialing wand? Why does a fat person need to use one?

Morbidly obese people make me fucking vomit in my mouth and I wanna make fun of the lady but I don't understand the post. :'(

[Raban]

Although I don't condone the appalling amount of hatred in this thread, I can safely say that there is a point in every fat person's life where you can look yourself in the mirror and make the conscious decision to keep going down that path of over-eating or start losing weight. I used to have more sympathy for fat people, but after realizing how stupidly easy it is to break bad eating habits, I have little care any longer.

Regardless, to all the people in this thread: Let people do what they want to their bodies, and try and keep to yourself what you think should be done to the people that take advantage of their bodies and harbor miserable eating habits, because nobody's forcing you to look at fat people, deal with them, fuck them, etc. Just avert your eyes, pussies.

[Don Flamenco]

I had to google it. It's basically a stylus, which they need to use because their fingers are too fat to hit the keys individually. This should have been in Wall-E.

[xnikki118x]

Wow are you serious? Your fingers are too fat so you need a stick to press buttons? Jesus Christ!

I have kind of let myself go these past few months as far as my weight is concerned. I'm currently about 20 pounds heavier than I'd like to be. BUT I still only weigh 130 pounds, am still thin, and can still fit through doorways and shit.

I don't understand how people let themselves get that fat. I just don't get it at all.

[etiolate]

organic milk makes my insides explode.


Other organic stuff has been a-ok.

These people should be banned from any kind of junk food restaurants.

They talked about it in the Simpsons episode where Homer goes on disability because he's morbidly obese.
