I got into a debate with my sister the other day about Muslims in general. I was trying to explain the massive amounts of inbreeding that is a result of marrying first cousins being socially acceptable.
Today I got into a debate with my sister over metabolisms and how they don't differ dramatically from one person to the next. She continuously tried to make her point that her thin friend could eat just as much as her and not gain anything the next day. That she gained weight even if she ate less. Three other family members joined in and took her side.
The most frustrating part of it all is they will not follow through. They just STOP responding and give you the stink eye or go: "UGH." and tell you that they don't trust where you got your sources or statistics from. I'll offer that we go home and do some research on the topic and they'll turn their cheek.
I'm getting so frustrated and need to learn to shut the fuck up when people say something stupid.

Adults have already made up their mind on what reality is. Bite your tongue and keep it calm, especially with family.

Nobody likes being red pilled forcibly.
Talk about gentile mutilation and things women can relate to instead of possible in-breeding which might or might not be true.
Calling out your sister for being a fatty is rough. It's your mum's fault and she knows it so she'll side with your sister. U loose.
Of course, they won't follow through and look up shit. They are content with their lives.
I'd drop questions about how can 1 guy bomb all those little girls? And talk about how a mosque will require businesses to shutter if they are 500 feet or what ever near them. Basically, bring up topics that the morning shows avoid and CNN sugar coats.
As for fatties ... Not much to do except wait until chances pop up. Eating less suddenly should actually make you gain wait since you go into starvation mode and the body thinks it needs to store calories. I'm not a dietician so you need more facts to shame a fatty unless you call them out all the time. I'd go science on them though.

She is right about metabolisms. Also how old are you?

I wish I had a simple answer to this issue - but I fear there really isn't one. You can choose your friends - your family is something you have to learn to live with. I smile and work hard to get along - and avoid the serious discussion. They are good people, but my views would upset them. That doesn't mean I will stop protecting them.
When you expose somebody to a new idea or concept, you have to also realize that they can only take away from it that which they are ready to learn - usually they will only get part of it - and the rest comes much later. This is completely normal and these things take time. It's a lot like gardening where you are the gardener - you plant the seeds, til the soil, add fertilizer, water and sunlight. The plant still has to do the growing part on it's own.
