To be honest I do love sweet tea as well, I just don't drink 10 glasses of it a day. It's just a really common drink here, like hot tea is in England and hot chocolate is in Ireland. A cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day is very refreshing.
oh exactly we all have our guilty pleasures on my heavy run days (10 11 miles) i do treat myself with a 20oz mnt dew i know its terrible for me but that is the one thing i drink that is bad for me, i rarely even drink beer, but i earn it because i burn 1500 calories and i can afford to drink that once in a while just not a liter a day!

I grew up in the south, so I have some immunity to the fats. Since I've been getting fit and trying to get into the dating scene it's been awful. Everywhere you go it's lard whales, not just drinking sweet tea, but sodas and giving their kids sodas. But hey, "you need something with a little flavor and more nutrients than water." I'm stuck here for now, but I'll be out one of these days...

I'm in the same boat. Everything's bigger in Texas, and the people are no exception.
I value my health and work hard to make sure I stay as fit as possible. I make sure I eat right, eat enough of the types of foods my body needs, and try to stay active as much as possible. I don't just do this to look good, but to feel good as well. I've got weird blood "issues" that aren't any actual issue or concern right now (low blood sugar, low blood pressure, slightly anemic), but can cause big problems if I don't take care of my body.
Fat people would use that as an excuse to gorge themselves with the worst possible foods, which would really fuck up their bodies. I use it as a reason to eat well (albeit frequently), which has me feeling better than ever and keeps my body running like it should.
Not saying it won't cause problems in the future regardless, but I can only imagine how bad it'd be if I just gave up on myself. Fat people don't deserve the bodies they're given.

I was just in SF a couple of months ago.It was refreshingly low on the lard. Most of the sightings were FAF tourists. I particularly liked the crossing signals, set to full shitlord mode. You actually had to walk at a good pace to beat the light.

Come to Colorado! Hiking, biking, snow sports, and a good amount of health oriented businesses!

I've always wanted to visit Colorado, such a beautiful place with like-minded people...i've always been a free spirit, spend time in the mountains, go hiking type of guy
[–] dahling_lycosidie 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
It's very nice, and 10% into most hikes clears out most of the lard :)

I feel exactly the same way. Every time I go out here (Australia), all I see is fats. I get surprised every time I see someone that is genuinely fit and healthy. It makes me genuinely sad to see what the world has come to. All I want, as you say, is for people to be people.

I'm right there with you, honey. Southern girl here! And it's ridiculous how fat everyone is. Two of my professors are obese (and every day is a struggle to not fly out of my desk and beat them until they STOP FUCKING MOUTHBREATHING LIKE WTF DOES YOUR NOSE NO LONGER WORK?!) A good handful of my coworkers are obese. And then, you know. Hambeasts spotted in the wild.
All day. Erryday.

Being a vegan in the south is a fun time I'm sure.

I'd say it's actually pretty convenient, there's LOTS of local fresh produce (at least in Alabama) since we have a lot of farms, and there's a big farmer's market mentality that we should 'buy local' (which just means get it from the local farmers around the area at farmer's markets). I'm from a wealthy suburb and I was still never more than a 15 minute drive from a good farmers market on any given day especially during the summer

I don't eat out often, so I normally fly under the radar ;)

I have heard fatties before I've seen them - multiple times. Were they in the middle of a run (lol)? Lifting big weights (lol)? NO. They were standing in line. How horrible is your life if you're wheezing just to exist? Just end it already. Ugh.
Edit: I've heard that vegans do it with veggies.
[–] vegansdoitbetter 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
We do all sorts of things with veggies (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But, yeah, my brother-in-law is a super fat (ughhhh) and we all went to the movies once and I had to sit beside him (ughhhhhhhhhhhh). CUE HEAVY BREATHING THE WHOLE FUCKING FILM. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU'RE FUCKING SITTING. DOWN. STATIONARY. LIKE GODDAMN.

I can run a mile at an 8 minute pace without opening my mouth.

This is why they're so big, of course! By gulping in air through their mouths, they're taking in more, you see, which makes them bloat. It's not fat, but air retention! /s
(Also, I love your name <3 I'm channeling my own inner sith lord today: Black (fake) leather pants, black (fake) leather boots, Vader shirt, Star Wars "letterman" style jacket.)
