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.

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

Holy fuck. This just occurred to me since you mentioned births... I'm assuming they're not allowed to sleep on their back?? And then it would make sense to do a C section because there's no way the pressure from the fupa tumor is gonna let the vagina expand. There's probably very little muscle left in the vagina due to their laziness. Omg i'm about to go on a mind blown disgustingly real talk rant. Damn hogs need to get it together. They probably could give birth the natural way if they're on all fours. But it might be too much for their knee condishuns, pretty sure their arms can't take any kind of weight. Weak ass warthogs.

Oh my god, I love when people pull the chronic back pain on me. I have lower back pain, but that's because my brothers kinda man handled me a little too much when I was younger. My SO has chronic, widespread, back pain, but he was fucking shot.
Every time I hear a fat fuck bitching about shit like that I look at them and say "Well, maybe it'll be easier after you've given birth."

I have back pain due to the fact I was a retard and fractured my T4 when I was 17. I'll be damned if I'm going to let that slow me down. Rather than throw my hands up, give up and "accept the inevitable" like any fat would I'm exercising as much as possible and staying active to prevent the back pain. I'm already at risk, why would I pursue a lifestyle that only makes it worse?
That's what I never get about the fatties, they seem to tempt fate all the time. You have a family history of diabetes and heart disease? Why the fuck are you letting yourself get fat? Why aren't you doing everything in your power to reduce that risk to zero? Instead you're giving up making it a self fulfilling prophecy by turning into an obeast. And now my tax dollars have to pay for your lack of will power and pathetic lifestyle? Damn right I fucking hate you.

An interesting note: Chronic back pain (especially in the lower back) is caused by our recent shift to bipedalism. Our pelvis and lower back is still adjusting to the drastic change - but fat makes everything worse.

A thousand years ago, chronic back pain was likely unheard of.
Some basic research will tell you that Chinese and Greek medicine - and probably every other tradition of medicine - addressed lower back pain.
It still is unheard of, in some undeveloped countries where people actually exercise their ass muscles and don't wear gimmicky shoes
This statement too is false Rates are 2-4 times higher among Swedish, German, and Belgium general populations than among Nigerian, southern Chinese, Indonesian, and Filipino farmers. Far from 'unheard of'.
The fight against FA idiocy has facts on our side. The truth is enough. We do not have to peddle bullshit nonsense. That is their game. You're spouting feelings among your facts.
The fact is most people (80%) will experience lower back pain at some point regardless of weight. It's enough to say that fat makes it more likely and worse.

Obesity has already become socially acceptable and normal.
