What BMI does someone need to reach to become a fattie for this threads purposes?

fattiness is more of a "i know it when i see it" sort of thing

I thought the cutoff BMI is 30.

I don't think the reasons for hate that have been listed are compelling. Smell and space consumption matter only in those rare scenarios when you have to be close to the person, but the homeless are much more bothersome in this respect anyway.

In those countries where the obese get governmental benefits with no strings attached, you may rightfully argue that those of them whose weight gain isn't caused by severe disability are eating a bit into taxpayers' wealth.

However, the fact that they're usually lazy (my scientific advisor wasn't) isn't a reason to hate them unless you're really forced to deal with them instead of ignoring them. And of course they don't owe you visual pleasure. They're hurting themselves, not you.

Yes, you are, but it's your own problem that you feel bad in their presence instead of taking it easy.

Yes imo

Patriarchy is a good buzz words to throw around.

Looks like a fatter female Danny Divito.

I winder when we'll get short liberation? Unlike fatness that is 100% not your fault (genetics and nutrition when you're q child). Shorties (particularly men) get at least as much discrimination as fatties.

Short man syndrome would make a good thread.

I took a screen shot of when I was at an A's game a few years ago and they took a panorama photo of the whole ballpark. So I looked at my section online the next day and sure enough the two huge people that sat next to me at the game, the guy is eating a foot long corn dog.

The gal seated nearer to me caused me to lean away from my arm rest to allow for her body fat to overhang the seat. She seemed nice but I was pretty disgusted to be that close to her and lose some of my own seat because she was next to me. I don't recall their smell it's been a few years now but it wasn't good. They ate overpriced ballpark junk the whole game.

The only memorable fatty sitting next to me story was on a Greyhound bus from Florida to any other place better, which is pretty much anywhere at all, lol.

Fat guy sits next to me and he is, of course, hot, smelly, and exhausted. He falls asleep and you can imagine what happened next. I woke him up at least 10 times that day. I suppose pairing with a 130 lb guy is an attractive situation for these people, since you know, I take up very little room.

I had no idea they actually had workshops about sizeism. Would love to have seen a shot of the audience.

You'd need a panoramic.

BTW putting full paragraphs in a PowerPoint is a classic fail. You're supposed to put a bullet point and then elaborate. If people can just read what you're saying on the PowerPoint then what is the point of you?

But fatty isn't related to health and if it didn't say so I wouldn't have been able to laugh my ass off.

With this trend toward gov't paid health care, we're gonna have to crack the whip on these fatties. Otherwise all their medical bills will bankrupt us all.

Rounding them all up in fat camps for re-education isn't beyond the realm here. Give them the discipline they crave.

Careful kiosk, it's been a long time since I've seen your picture so my memory could be bad, but I don't recall you being skinny.

Generally, I think it's more doughnuts they crave, not discipline.

This whole body positivism thing is just an elaborate eugenics plot to weed out the weak. I'm weighing in at 191 lb this morning (6 foot male), having lost about 15 lbs? since starting my carnivorous diet around 7-8 months ago. Still probably 20-30 lbs to go. Actually my weight sort of yo-yoed slightly for the first 6 months but the last month as I adopted some mild fasting / caloric restriction (not really by choice) I've experienced a great deal of loss. Having been fat / obese my whole life I am so excited about the steady decline in my weight and assorted other mental / physical benefits that come from all beef diet.

I'm sorry, but what are the physical benefits to an all beef diet?
