You're trying to find logic where there is none... proud to be fat, but ashamed to be weighed at the doctors office. Real men want curves yet they put up a 5 year old picture on POF. HAES yet they have condishuns. Body weight is entirely genetic, but that skinny bitch needs to eat a burger.

They aren't thinking, they are feeling, that is the problem.

That's just a beautiful paragraph, right there. Every single layer of bullshit, destroyed with a few sentences.

Why the fuck would anyone think when they can feel? It takes no effort on your part to feel! It does take effort to think.

Because doublethink.

For a lengthier answer, a person is likely to agree that "people" are at risk by doing something but generally think they or their friends and family could do the same thing without consequence. For example, if you told them someone who eats 28 cheeseburgers a week is likely to gain weight, only the most fat-clogged brain will disagree with you. If you told them their best friend is likely to gain weight by eating 28 cheeseburgers/week, they begin to have excuses for why that isn't true.

One of the things they focus on most is survivorship bias. In short, if a single person has not blown up like a fucking balloon from eating junk food 24/7 and not exercising, then everyone can do the same. Extremely flawed logic indeed.

I love how they then try to turn it around and say "well not everyone can just lose weight, even if you did!" They're the same idiots who think that because some people can eat a lot of food and not gain weight (they exercise a shitload and need the calories, or they're just not eating that many kcals, for example) then it's possible to barely eat anything and still gain a ton of weight (not counting all the Coke and Starbucks Fupaccinos).

They'll try to justify it with "my genetics mean that I'm going to be fat even if I don't eat. Some people have 'good' genetics that let them lose weight if they don't eat."

That’s a real conundrum, isn't it?

We all know that fat ruins the rational and logical thinking part of the brain.

I believe from their logic all bodies are "genetically normal". Not eating in this state will make you thin and eating excessively will do nothing - "That girl can eat everything and not gain a pound". As they are fat, and excessive eating does not cause one to get fat, therefore the only explanation is genetic. Add "these scientists said this gene causes obesity", which the research actually states that Gene X has is slightly associated with overweight people.

You can see how they get to their "logical deduction" of the "facts", but this does mean one key thing - they will not question any beliefs. This is the aspect that bothers me the most. If your belief does not hold up to evidence, the belief is wrong and must be changed. This active ignorance bothers me. Obesity is simply anti-intellectualism. I don't care if they die, I do care if they spew bad knowledge into the world.

Because REASONS and STUFF, you shitlord! Your logic is shaming me and I'm triggured, I hope you die painfully. You're just jealous of how gorgeous and sexy I am.

Maybe instead of trying to contort logic as much as they contort their bodies with their rivulets of fat; they should try and lose weight instead.

Because you can't possibly be more attractive than them just from working hard at it, that would too fair!
