Seriously, can we take up a collection to buy ad space in magazines and run these?

This made me really fucking upset. I've had more fatty interactions in the last week than ever before and this attacks my being.

The newest BBC Horizon was about how fat people have genetic causes for obesity, but they always found an excuse to deny that one can also provide a say in how much one eats. "1/6 people have 2 distortions of a gene which has a probabilistic increase of you being obese by 50%...therefore all people can be fat without issue?! Mathematics does not work that way - 1/2 of one sixth does not equate to the 70% obesity rate in the UK! Fucking delusional! I was insulted by the delusion (presenter was a fatty of course, but didn't accept it - but actively showed his ignorance to being "normal".

I feel powerless against global food discrepancy, Rich individuals can corrupt and control any "third-world" country - and they do. I hate this dichotomy of massively obese and massively poor, but I feel powerless to stop it, so it continues...

The best way to stop the rich/poor discrepancy is to take vacations in developing countries. Not necessarily the poorest countries, but at least the 2nd world developing countries that are actually developing.

That's a way to spend money in those countries and help their economy develop a little bit more. Simple donations don't help as much as we initially thought, because it can stunt certain parts of an economy.

Also, it's a very affordable vacation, and almost every country has some nicer cities that are very different from the impoverished parts.

I remember saying you have to be a special stupid...to be fat and poor. I get so disgusted looking at the dead eyes of so called poverty stricken fats. For every dead eyed, whining idiot there are dozens of actual people out there in another part of the world who are actually poor, and starving. If they had half a chance at a somewhat healthy life like the poor get here in America they would not only be thankful, but they wouldn't glut themselves by misusing what little money they have and binging on garbage.

Even at my families worst when we had nothing, I was no where near the position the poor children in those pictures are in. I'm thankful for that.

I recognize that it's a complex issue, but fat people are definitely helping to contribute to third world starvation. Why should corporations look to support the growth of new markets where they can sell their products when they can simply continue to sell more and more products in markets where the demand exceeds the requirement of the population (a.k.a. first world countries with high levels of obesity)?

These obese countries will provide a much more stable, safer market for them, and this also encourages them to look for ways to specifically engineer the food to encourage even more consumption in order to grow the demand even higher in these fat countries.

So while the obesity epidemic worsens, corporations make more and more profit, and meanwhile struggling countries are left ignored and are still unable to develop enough political and economic stability to support an economy that can help them meet the needs of their own populations.

All I'm saying is that maybe if fat people weren't overeating so god damn much, corporations would have more incentive to support the growth and stability of third world nations because it would be in their own best interest. Instead, first world nations just get fatter and fatter as the amount of food they consume continues to rise far beyond their actual requirements, providing an easily accessible and ever growing demand for corporations to thrive and grow on.

This is what I think when I hear someone say they are struggling with their weight. Cupcake binges are not struggling. Not having food for days is struggling.

The best post on fph thus far.... this really puts things in perspective... the egoism and level of entitlement of fats is just insane.

Dirty lazy selfish fat fucks make me puke blood. Fat privilege is lying to yourself that eating all you want,sitting around on your arse and getting massive is your right. Fat people are disgusting. The only good thing about them is if you see one you know they are crying inside because they are so pathetic.
