If obesity is normal, I'm happy being "abnormal." Fuck that noise.

Right now a lot of the extreme fats are still in their 20s and 30s. In the next 10-15 years when they start dropping at epidemic levels, there'll be a huge upswing in health and fitness crazes and they'll become the lepers they should already be. Patience will be rewarded.

I only have 2 friends who are not over weight to some extent. Oh and a friend I talk to at my local pub. The ones who are "trying to lose weight" keep trying to feed me the gross shit they think is healthy because it's "home-made". No I do not think pasta in a pot with tons of sauce and butter and sausage is appealing. I showed one of them how to make a variation on Alton Brown's perfect scrambled egg (I can't eat yolks so I just used whites) which fits one egg on 2 slices of toast and is a perfectly good meal and they just ate their pasta while I had delicious egg on toast with mustard.

Obesity has already become socially acceptable and normal.

Too late. It is normal already. Just enjoy being exceptional, one of the last few beautiful people. The new fitness and healthy oligarchy.

In the US, two thirds of the population are overweight and one third is obese (NIH link - 2010 data). Your hope is already forlorn.

I'm sorry, but it is already "normal".

Normal people should just keep telling the fatties that they are fat and gross. We just need to teach our children that fat is bad and wrong no matter what. And just going out with normal people so we can keep making fun of fat people

Too late, obesity is normal. 2/3's of people are overweight or obese and there are more obese then overweight.

It might be average but it will never be normal. The average person in a village in Sierra Leone last year may have had the Ebola Virus, but that sure as shit doesn't make having the Ebola Virus the normal state of health for a human.

We should've known there was a problem when they had to generate the term "Super Morbidly Obese".

Holy shit 2/3 of people are overweight? I'm assuming this is America and not worldwide? I live in America and I do not doubt that statistic yet it scares the shit out of me. Fat is the physical marker of weakness and laziness. 2 traits that pull society back.

Go to a bar, look around on a busy night. You will see 2/3 overweight people.

Yeah, came here to say this. Sorry, OP, but obesity is already seen as normal by the overwhelming majority.

That doesn't mean we can't still make them feel like shit about it, though.
