it's disturbing how much people nowadays never did anything harder than getting up their bed in their entire life. Physical activity is a necessity. Its ok to be fat. Its not ok to be an antropomorphic equivalent of a truck.
there are degrees, and i never said otherwise. What i ment by "anthropomorphic equvalent of a truck" is exactly what you described - pathological consumers with a very unhealthy diet. I guess i have chosen my words poorly, therefore made my thought unclear. There are lots of fat people that are quite strong, and this is ok to me, as i said.
The part about physical activity wasn't exactly about fat people though, rather about our modern society in general. A healthy diet with the correct balance, and moderate physical activity makes wonders, not simply in terms of weight. Those two things are grately underestimated. Those things were underestimated by me. After i started to be more physically active, my thoughts got clearer and i became much happier in general. And yeah, the best gym is a part-time job in a field, if you ask me. Actual gym sucks compared to it.
Unless the obese are a hitherto untapped source of entropy-defying free energy, your statements cannot be correct.
Chances are they're from an industrial nation with an obesity problem and they never think to wonder if maybe it's the environment at fault
I mean when people are that size there's almost always some kind of additional disease at play. It seems crazy to be like "oh this truck sized man who has a metabolic disorder clearly just needs to pull up his bootstraps."
The meme is bad faith. Its very obvious with a little thought that making fun of fat people isnt going to fix obesity.
Physical training literally cures methabolic disorders, except the genetic ones of course, good thing they are extremely rare. Vast majority of them are behavioral.
Moreover, I wasn't judgemetall of obesity before I had met few people with weight problems. One of them even had problems with legs because of that. You know what he did about that? Right, not a damn thing, hasn't even tried. Instead of that he chose only to complain about his poor legs all the time. He never tried to see a doctor, never tried to train. The more you defend this people, the more of them there will be. And of course every one of them claims that they have bad genes or something, except they self-diagnosed it to themselves, because its easier that way. Its always easier to do nothig but to pity yourself, and to look for other people to pity you.
