Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

That's a nice argument, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?
Are you legitimately suggesting that ~50% of the world has medical issues causing them to be fat?
Are you legitimately suggesting 99.9% of obese people are overweight because it's fun for them? Because that's what you just said.
No, I’m saying they lack the ability to eat less. It’s a personal failure, not a fun thing.
I think we have very different definitions of what "choice" means. If you lack the ability to eat less, then you aren't choosing now are you?
I'm sorry but where are you seeing people being force-fed food?
Bruh, why are you acting incredulous when I read what you said back to you. You said that they lack the ability to stop eating. I didn't say that shit.
You also said that 99.9% of obese people choose to be that way. Again, you said, this, not me. So which is it? It can't be both. You have to pick one.
Either provide a fucking source or admit you just hate fat people.
What I'm suggesting is that the only food available to low-income households is high in fat and low in nutrients because that's what's cheapest to produce.
Unless you're about to suggest being poor is a lifestyle choice too I suggest you stop stuffing words in my mouth.
So if the only food they have is too high in calories, eat less of it?
It’s not difficult.
Calories aren't the problem. Nutrition is. No doubt you've heard it said that it's important to eat a balanced diet. If you can't afford to eat anything other than McDonald's, only eating two meals a day total instead of three is not going to put more greens in your diet. It's just going to make you hungrier.
It doesn’t matter how much McDonalds you eat, you’re not going to get a healthy and nutritious meal from it.
So that point is irrelevant.
Also I’m poor, I’ve eaten nothing but McDonalds for over a year at my worst and most days I eat cheap microwave meals or instant noodles. Surprisingly I’m not fat, because being poor isn’t the cause of it, eating too much is.
Thank you for demonstrating my point. Eating less McDonald's won't make you healthier either. If you can't get a nutritious meal once in a while, you're not going to be healthy no matter how much or how little you eat or much you exercise.
Also microwave meals are a lot healthier (and a lot more epensive) than McDonald's.
Healthy and Fat are not the same. You can be skinny and unhealthy, likewise you cannot be fat and healthy.
Being fat is related to eating more calories than your body consumes.
