We no longer live in an agrarian economy and the major population shift to the cities over a hundred years ago makes the Electoral Collage a virulent aberration that allows the very ignorant few to rule over the many who actually pay the bills.
Some have been fatter than others, but only to a point and only in places and times where it was possible to eat to excess.
You do know that fat isn't a magic substance that appears out of nowhere, don't you? It is a product your body creates from *excess* calories it can't use for any useful purpose and stores the energy for later use in times of scarcity.
Obesity is the result of there being no time of scarcity for the people making the rest of us suffer from it.
We have paintings of obese people from 4000 years ago
No, we don't. Chubby, maybe, but not obese. In any case they were not the fucking norm as they are today due to the overabundance of food coupled with the entitlement and lack of self-control which are defining features of the obese.
It isn't basic physics.
Yes, it absofuckinglutely is. Fat is created from excess calories and not from magic. Get all the piggies to admit that fact and then we can talk about tangential issues.
"What causes the cravings"
Irrelevant. What causes the fat to hang off you is eating too much food. That is the state of the argument. Overwhelming numbers of obese people are saying that that is not true and that their weight has zero to do with how much they eat.
This is why there is such a huge pushback against the wave of fat fucks clogging our medical system.
If you're one of the couple hundred people in the entire world who actually Prader-Willi syndrome, than that sucks but it still doesn't change the fact that extra adipose is caused by eating more food than you need.
If you do not have that condition, then you are a whining lying cunt.
If you were to force yourself to act like a human being instead of a pig, then you would be capable of resetting your hormones so your hunger pangs only trigger when you actually need food not when you've made a tiny bit of space that you've always crammed with more shit.
Act like an adult, not a whiny entitled fat fucking child.
"Different body chemistry caused by the gut bacteria and behavior could cause your body to store more fat and rob you of energy until you can't stick with your current regiment and you start packing on pounds. "
Bullshit you retarded pile of pig shit.
If your mewlings had any value whatsoever then answer this:
How come nobody as fat as your dumb ass ever existed prior to several decades ago?
Jesus fucking christ you butter huffing pigs are retarded.
Obesity is a new thing based solely upon the availability of too much food and the ease of getting it.
You're fat because you eat too fucking much for the amount of energy you require. This is basic physics.
If you forced yourself to act like a human being for a month you'd see changes in your hormones that would make you want to act like a human being instead of forcing yourself to do it.
"It should be plain to anyone who's met more than a couple of people that people can differ in body shape and muscle mass even with basically the same diet and training."
This is 100% bullshit and anyone with even a high school level of understanding of physics knows this.
People fucking lie about how much they eat or they do not understand how much they actually eat.
"I have no idea why some people have become so eager to deny that, but it doesn't seem to stem from a deep seated belief in equality."
It's because it's idiot retarded bullshit that is in direct conflict with the basic laws of physics which govern all interactions in this universe you moronic fucking dolt.
"Derrrr it doesn't cure my fatness if I don't actually do what I'm supposed to cure my fatness because I'm too much of a lazy glutton to actually work toward a simply achievable goal Waaaaaaaaaaa I blame society"
Get a grip.
*Your* failure to adhere to a reasonable eating plan based on your actual needs is just that:
*Your* failure.
Grow the fuck up and take responsibility for your own shitty choices you fat fuck.
"If 98% of people can't "follow the proper regimen", then it's not a proper regimen,"
It's not "can't" piggy, it's "too fucking lazy and entitled to".
Pull your head out of your ass, quit looking for excuses and put down the god damned fork until you get your hormones back in balance which *you* fucked up by being a fucking piggy.
Diet and exercise work to control weight in 100% of cases and there is no possibility of an exception to this happening in this universe under any conceivable set of circumstances.
If your diet failed it's because *you* failed to stick to it and make it a lifestyle change.
The globs of fat hanging off of you came from somewhere. It's called the law of conservation of mass/energy, and no you're fat ass does not violate it. If you really think it does write up your research and claim your Nobel prize.
Since you'll fail utterly at that, shut the fuck up with your idiotic lies you fat disgusting pig.
Next time you see some one doing an up-skirt don't look away, look right at the person and make it clear you see him (or her) and do not approve.
I have a friend who used to do shit like that. Not like super duper creepy, but opportunistically.
We were all out at a bar one time and he's walking back to the table, sees this girl in a short skirt facing away from with at a "good" angle.
He starts lining up the shot and his girlfriend goes up to the girl and says, "Excuse me, there's some pervert over there trying to take a picture of your underwear". The girl looks around sees him calls him a pervert and we all bust out laughing.
Don't fuck with Lisa. They've been married a long time now;-)
Yeah, hey, dealer...I was gonna pack another bowl...of that stuff...you hooked me up with.
Are you saying....wait back up a second...are you saying that's not the optimal approach to things?
Mind blown....I'm totally going to start showing up on your doorstep whenever I get high even though I didn't get it from you...just to run it by you...you'd totally like that, right?!?!
Do you not believe in it, or are you, as you stated, just skeptical? That would make you an agnostic. It's true that agnostics don't have a belief system, as by definition they don't know what to believe. Atheists are another matter.
So completely wrong and people are modding this insightful?!?
A skeptic and an agnostic are not the same thing. An agnostic is not defined anything like "they don't know what to believe".
An agnostic is one who thinks that it is not possible to know whether or not there is a god. A gnostic thinks that it is possible to know whether or not there is a god. Gnosticism speaks to what can be known, it doesn't say anything about belief.
So if you think it's impossible to know whether or not god exists, but choose to believe that he does, then you are an agnostic theist. If you think that it is possible to know that (whether or not you actually do know) and choose not to believe, then you are a gnostic atheist.
The other two combinations are left as an exercise for the reader which I would suggest you actually do since you are this badly informed on the topic
"As a defense mechanism, they attempt insults or ridicule, rather than engage in reasonable debate."
He set us on this path, and a large percentage of the country still doesn't understand what a complete disaster he was. Hell, a lot of Repugs still think he was a great president.
I mean selling crack to American school kids to buy guns for Osama bin laden is only the tip of the iceberg.

Only there have always been fat people

Shut the fuck up you worthless fucking pig.
Thin people are thin because they have not spent their entire lives eating far more food than they could possibly use.
The laws of physics prove that you're a delusional fat fuck.
Hot tip, one of the many negative consequences of being an obeast is lowered intellectual capacity.
Looks like you're suffering from that one.

Look at the pathetic lazy fat fucks voting you flamebait.
They have to motivation to hate on the truth, but not enough to go for a walk or even put down a fork.
AC blatant marketroid troll at +5.
Truly sad to see this trash around here.
Anyone paid less than $100k/year will be forced to the fringes of the city,
I make that in Chicago. I interviewed with Amazon and was amazed at the rents for smaller places. You might want to revise that minimum up :-(
The unions in the US have way too much power,
Wow, thanks for demonstrating that you don't know a fucking thing about the topic.
Unions in the US have been almost entirely exterminated.
This is quite possibly the stupidest comment I have ever seen.
You're a delusional fucking moron.
Next time you see some one doing an up-skirt don't look away, look right at the person and make it clear you see him (or her) and do not approve.

Now, Dude...
You've been around these parts for some time and in my experience you always have something of value to add when you say something...
But
What the heck happened with your formatting there?
You left out the Z and the F.
Why aren't you taking the homeless guy home to crash on your couch you fucking hypocrite?
Given the fact that OP hasn't made his way in the world by asserting his moral supremacy he's not actually a hypocrite.
You, on the other hand are defending hypocrites. Kiddy fucking hypocrites.
Using multiple different meanings of the word "fuck". I'm not sure how "bareback" would work in some of the non-literal uses of "fuck".
Maybe "without a reach around"?
That just screams asshole in all contexts.
Yeah, hey, dealer...I was gonna pack another bowl...of that stuff...you hooked me up with.
Are you saying....wait back up a second...are you saying that's not the optimal approach to things?
Mind blown....I'm totally going to start showing up on your doorstep whenever I get high even though I didn't get it from you...just to run it by you...you'd totally like that, right?!?!
Unfortunately the money is with the corportists.The real energy though is with the tea party.
I find it bizarre that you don't understand that these are the same side.
The shrinking of the federal government the tea baggers keep pushing is only in those areas designed to reign in the corporatists.
The tea party is primarily funded by the corporatists for exactly this reason.
Are you honestly so out of touch that you don't grasp this?
Waist high snow *at least*.
I understand you have your commitments, but if you didn't, would it have been worthwhile given the difference in cost of living?
Do you not believe in it, or are you, as you stated, just skeptical? That would make you an agnostic. It's true that agnostics don't have a belief system, as by definition they don't know what to believe. Atheists are another matter.

That's known as projection on your part.
I still think Reagan is worse.
He set us on this path, and a large percentage of the country still doesn't understand what a complete disaster he was. Hell, a lot of Repugs still think he was a great president.
I mean selling crack to American school kids to buy guns for Osama bin laden is only the tip of the iceberg.
it's just that a massive financial gain clouded their judgement
Look, no more offense intended than necessary, but are you three years old or have you been in a coma for the last 30+ years?!?
Let me guess, you think they're going to get punished for this.
They did it with the full knowledge that they would get away with it.
They knew that because they figured that there are enough ostensibly intelligent people such as yourself that are *that fucking stupid*.
And, you know what?
They were god damn motherfucking right.
I almost want to shoot you in the face more than I do them at this point.
They were right.
Please do not ever vote and if you feel the least twinge of depression, just off yourself.
People as fucking naive and as deeply stupid as you are why we're where we are.
