There must be more 20 year Olds dying of obesity than I thought

There are some that just drop dead at 19 because they weigh 400+ pounds.

I'm fine with this. Let them all die off. More room for all of us people. I know it probably won't work itself out that easily, but a man can dream.

Uhm... from the article:

Usually, but not always, fatter people are less fit than thinner people, and exercise can clearly protect you from death and disease.

Another technically true piece (an Auschwitz prisoner, or stage VI cancer victim might be less fit than a tubblrina) which fatties will cling to.

Will it kill them before they suck up all the Medicare money?

It's not only medicare money that is going down the tubes. The disability fund is due to be depleted this year. You have these fat lazy pieces of shit going onto disability and taking money from people who actually fucking need it. You have well-meaning doctors helping people get disability funds because they can't qualify for unemployment insurance. Its ridiculous. NPR Piece

This chart should irritate fellow shitlords 1961 Disabilities vs 2011 Fatties then have the audacity to claim that their fatness doesn't have an effect on anyone else?

Nothing enrages me more than trying to drop off my wheelchair bound sister and all the handicap spots are taken by fat asses. Especially the ones without a handicap placard.

18% does seem more accurate. I would have guessed higher, but this seems about right.

I sadly see their fatlogic path to dismissing this. "They used BMI and BMI has been proven to be bullshit!"

Just like in Reddit's Fatlogic: it's okay! I'm not as fat as that one guy who lives down the street! It could be way worse! I can still waddle and at least I'm not full of Fatlogic like all those other stupid fatties! I eat veggies in my spring rolls so that's a healthy lifestyle change and I'm not bed bound yet! So really, this article is not about ME!

Yeah, really. Gets rid of them faster and it's not like I have to ever worry about obesity related bad things...because I'm not human garbage.

6.3% over 40 bmi? Holy shit no wonder you guys in the states have stories about them every day.

This article is over 2 years old. The number is probably higher than 6.3% by now.

Many of us, men and women, have lost hope of finding a mate here. The attitude of "It's always OK and necessary to snack" is pervasive, wasteful, and disgusting.

I knew being childfree would make dating difficult, but being a childfree shitlord means that I have better odds of winning the lottery than finding a shitlady who doesn't want kids.

Painfully true, and entirely correct. Fuck it, though - I'm betting those of us choosing to be single rather than dropping our standards through the floor did the same math and figured that giving up on dating is far, far better than ever considering anyone who even displays "minor" fatfuck tendencies, even if they're currently skinny.

It's just not worth allowing that shit into your personal life.

In the Netherlands the stats are far less horrible ( but still shitty ) especially once the women get out of college. When I first went to Eastern Europe I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. Were they really innately more attractive or were the people back home just fatties, their adipose tissue hiding whatever might be below.

Thankfully I've found my Croatian princess. Such a delight, being able to share an active lifestyle, truly enjoy good food. Know that if you were to ever have children that you don't have to worry about them being fed McBeetus because mommy is tired from lugging around her FUPA.

I truly pity my Anglosphere brothers ( and sisters ).
