The theory I believe is that human race will split into two. The new human upper class would be slim, healthy, attractive, and intelligent and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into fat, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures [reference: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/6057734.stm]. I think it makes lots of sense as fatties still mate, but mostly among themselves. There's like 1% chance of skinny people having offspring with fatties (the 1% stands for donors), so this will surely have some effect on the human genome.

When the global economy can no longer be propped up by printing more money or manipulating markets food prices will skyrocket. At that time starving people will begin cooking up delicious fatties in order to keep themselves and their families alive. One fatty is like cooking two or more normal sized people. Plus they can't run very quickly making them an easy target.

This could be viable if obesity had anything to do with genetics in most people. Obesity is more comparable to a slow-burn genocide on the behalf of governments and major corporations.
Don't be a lamb to the slaughter. Stay away from McDonalds.

Unfortunately, most of these hams reproduce before they die of obesity-related illnesses, and pass on their disgusting eating habits to their offspring.
We need to start a shitlord/shitlady breeding program.

Many if not most hams rely on food stamps to finance their massive food consumption. I recall Singapore instituted a program that allowed people to get money in exchange for getting a vasectomy or their tubes tied instead of a welfare state, and that may be a reason for their very low obesity rate.

Eugenics always leads to problems if there's not an objective measurement standard. Thankfully, body fat percentage is very easy to measure and fairly uncontroversial. This could work.

Well, they do have trouble both with fertility and simply having sex as it's pretty hard for two hamplanets to get tab A into slot B.
Then you also see them not really taking care of their kids. Every time I see a kid running around near a road or other place that is not good for a kid to be running around, the parent is a ham. Most often clutching a beetus drink of some sort.
It is also very much like an STD. You pretty rarely see a couple where one is fat and the other not turn into two normals. Much, much more often the normal one turns into a ham.

I've been thinking the exact same thing lately, no smoking needed. As this HAES bullshit gets more popular, more dumbasses are letting themselves go. I think in a few years they'll suddenly start dropping like flies. Good riddance, frankly.
