Damn they really are mad af. Where did all these lard lords come from? They’re even saying the article itself is bad.

Also the “as a medical anthropologist I raise serious eyebrows at the concept...of this article”. First of all what the fuck is a medical anthropologist you clearly just made that up. Second of all stop coping you cellulite-American, anyone with any vaguely medical career will tell you being fat means early death and you should absolutely be shamed

Where did all these lard lords come from?

America

I visited the US once. I went to a conference in Salt Lake City. Apparently, that's a relatively fat part of the country.

You can have your moon landing, your global military and cultural hegemony, I literally don't care. As soon as I saw half a dozen ham-planets in mobility scooters waiting in queue at a Walmart, I knew that this whole country is a meme, and I knew Ameritards had no legs to stand on.

Well of course we have no legs, we lost those to diabeties

Your all fucking fat as shit 😂😂

Day of Captain Ahab when?

On the bright side that's one way to lose some weight.

It's actually crazy how unprepared an average "yuro" is for actual America. We've all seen this shit on TV or whatever but when I first arrived in America, actually seeing a 150 kg ball of human flesh rolling down the street was still a bit of a system shock. By the twelfth time you sort of get used to it but at first - it feels kind of surreal.

I ended up in Texas once, but in a quite nice area (to my shithole standards). Somehow it was full of white blonde skinny women, steamy latinx mamasitas and typical skinny eastern european Natashas. I think the sun just kills them in the south, so they stay at home 24/7 and don't spoil your view as much.

Compared to the UK - perhaps ;) but burgerland actually has higher rates of obesity in the southern part of the country, probably precisely because of that. If it's fucking -40C outside (as it is in Eastern Europe during the winter) you either move or die, and if it's +40C, you move - you die.

We just bully fat people relentlessly in the East. You’re gonna get the nickname Fat or Lardy for the rest of your life. We also bully ugly people. I knew a girl whose nickname was “The war” as in “as ugly as a war”

"Такой крокодил, страшна как атомная война"? ;))))

Something like that, ja

"War pig" is a goodie too

No there’s plenty of fatties down south, it’s because you were in a nice area and we’re better at segregation.

separate water fountains when

Unnecessary, lardos only drink coca cola. Twitter fats even take offense to people who only drink water.

Separate diet coke a d coke zero then

Yeah we definitely love fatty, fried, monochromatic foods in the south. Biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, potatoes in all their forms, and dear lord the PORTIONS.

The fact that I'm not the size of a house after living in Texas for most of my life is almost impressive.

Not to mention Mexican food. San Antonio is statistically one of the fattest cities in the country.

I only Googled obesity stats for the first time recently. It's a real eye opener that's for sure. Some 70% of the US is in the overweight category and it's interesting breaking down the demographics.

At one point I believe McAllen took the number one spot for fattest city in America, and Texas tends to hold at least 3-4 spots in the top ten. Everything really is bigger in Texas.

What part of Texas? Austin, Dallas, and Houston are ogre colonies.

Some posh enclave around DFW

steamy latinx mamasitas

Latinx, does that rhyme with stinks?

No habla izquierdo

when I went on holiday to california 5 or so years ago, it was more common to see an emaciated icehead than a deathfat... Most everyone in that coastal region in southern california was a rail thin nerd or some roided out gymrat.

Didn't see too many fatties except for old mexican ladies.. Till a tourist bus pulled into the car park at the seaworld we were visiting with loud southern accents waddling off. Never have I seen so many fat people in one place in my life.

In england and where I live now; australia; most landwhales are umemployed dolebludgers who never leave their councilhouses, never so much as waddling to woolies, having everything delivered. Fatties in america really seem to get around given their mass.

Yuro anecdotes about normal Americans are all well and good but for some reason I don't see any burgers disputing my findings ;). There must have been plenty that have seen it by now, yet for some odd reason not one of them wants to claim that I'm a liar ;)

That’s because burgers here are flyover states trailer park trash so they see the fats every day, or are the fatsos themselves

who needs legs when you have alphabet agencies and the petrodollar?

when electric cars take off properly, america will need to take the cobalt mines instead

There's plenty of cobalt in Canada. We just haven't mined it yet.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-10-31/the-canadian-ghost-town-that-tesla-is-bringing-back-to-life

There's a place literally called Cobalt, ontario, and the stores are built on top of old mine shafts. At the butcher shops they would lower meat down into the mine to keep them cold.

I'd rather live under a famine than in a country with fat people.

“When I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can’t help but cry. I mean, I’d love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.”

mutt bashing thread, let's go!!! vaaamosss

Cursed country propped up on 300 year old chads and all they have to show for it is lawlzposting

Not all fatties get corona but if you are fat your chance of dying is way higher. Friend's mom is a nurse and she says it's almost 100% fat people in their 40s-50s.

Keep in mind Amerilard have a really fucked up definition of fat. 70% of the population is overweight so "fat" refers to really rotund fellows.

Yeah. Their definition of "fat" and "healthy" are all kind of fucked up lmao. You can be disgustingly fat in the US and still be called thin.

And if you're actually healthy and not fat at all, guess what, you have anorexia and you're gonna die, you need to "eat a burger".

If you're exaggerating massively for comedic effect - just call me a retard and I'll move on.

...but, you're definitely dramatising it somewhat. They have plenty of normal-looking people over in the burgerland, and though they have a considerably different definition of what constitutes "average" (it's kind of a cope, I guess, for somewhat overweight people), it's not like all of them are this way.

I am not even exaggerating, just look at reddit an overweight women will post a picture of herself and burgerlanders are like "wow you're so healthy", a healthy looking woman posts a picture and the comments are always "damn, you need to eat a burger", "you look unhealthy", "do you have an eating disorder"

Just think about it, like 80% of adult American women are overweight, what do you think "normal" looks like?

You're exaggerating again, but just barely.

https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity

​

70% of my fellow Adult Americans are overweight. LOL FUCK.

​

I'm thankful I live in a big city, so that number is probably closer to 40-50%, and exercise is extremely popular with young people. But our country has been so fucked because of our investment in fast food and shitty ingredients like corn syrup.

Adult American WOMEN. Check that number for me.

Kay I used your link and it seems women do actually have lower rates but they have a higher rate of obesity (40 fucking %) which is a more severe case of being fat. And have 10% rate of EXTREME obesity. 1 in 10 American women are EXTREMELY obese.

Not sure why your focus is solely on American Women and disregards men. We are both equally fat and disgusting in this country 😂

True, nah, I thought I remembered that women were more overweight, which isn't true, I misremembered the fact about them being more obese.

Did you even look at the source I graciously provided? lol

It literally says 66.9% of adult American women are overweight or obese.

Yah, I did, you're right, I mistook the obese vs overweight thing, in my mind I remembered they were fatter (but in reality only more obese not overweight) so I just slapped 10% on top randomly 😂

I just don't really see them switching the normal to the extent you're describing... Either you have a different understanding of "normal" and "overweight" (perhaps you're into surfboards) or I somehow missed a shift that must have happened very recently.

I hate to be "that sauce guy", but can you show me a mainstream example? Reddit or something? I'm not being a dick doing cope, I could be considered underweight myself, it's just that I don't see what you described anywhere online outside of specifically "fat-friendly" spaces...

Well I certainly couldn't be arsed to sauce you my guy. Stop longposting and browse Reddit, you'll see or you're coping.

Coping would be agreeing with you enthusiasticly. I'm 175cm/60kg.

PS. Go back to twitter with that anti-long post shit. Fucking zoomers...

Ok manlet

I'm 175cm/60kg.

Listen here sugar tits, use freedom units or GTFO.

I am not even exaggerating, just look at reddit an overweight women will post a picture of herself and burgerlanders are like "wow you're so healthy", a healthy looking woman posts a picture and the comments are always "damn, you need to eat a burger", "you look unhealthy", "do you have an eating disorder"

Well that’s just women looking for approval.

plenty of normal people

30ish% of the population

I think the preffered nomenclature is "people of exceptional weight and size"

Hopefully enough of them get got that healthcare costs go down

that's not fair 😡

There was a special section on a news website with all of the Rona deaths. I deliberately looked at the "in memoriam" photos of the people under 50. They were all fattie boombahs. Every single one was unhealthy-fat.

Also the “as a medical anthropologist I raise serious eyebrows at the concept...of this article”. First of all what the fuck is a medical anthropologist you clearly just made that up.

Recent examples of the kinds of studies undertaken by medical anthropologists include research into the impact of AIDS on Central African societies, the consequences of the traumas of war on families in Sri Lanka and Guatemala, the impact of the new reproductive technologies (for example, in vitro fertilisation) on British notions of 'the family', the impact of malnutrition on Brazilian ideas of children's illness, the appearance of new illnesses like multiple personality disorder and chronic fatigue (Gulf War Syndrome) and the effects of migration on the mental health of ethnic minority groups.

Sounds like a bunch of pseudo sociologists figuring out if AIDS, war and famine sucks as much anywhere else in the world. Astounding, really...

All that stuff is shit and it's shit to go through it. Gib PHD please. Reminds me of criminologists on serial killer programmes who talk about how being dressed up as a girl and forced to watch your mother whore herself out causes problems with women.

Where did all these lard lords come from?

Odd, but their whininess is reminiscent of those whiny mаyos yelling at everyone to stay indoors for several consecutive weeks 🤔🤔 I sure hope they've been having regular exercise the past few months

medical anthropologist

What would this even mean?

(Seriouspost) My only guess would be that they investigate cultures and time periods to see what medicine they practiced; stuff like TCM (traditional chinese medicine), Ayurveda (Indian), Kanpo (Japanese), whatever native americans used, etc. It's honestly an interesting field, seeing commonalities between ancient cultures in how they approach health and wellness. Can find some cool stuff too, like how garlic was the first antibacterial agent used in Greece and they just rubbed that shit into wounds to disinfect them.

But it gives you about as much authority on obesity as a plumber has on cancer treatments; jack shit.

Also the “as a medical anthropologist I raise serious eyebrows at the concept...of this article”. First of all what the fuck is a medical anthropologist you clearly just made that up.

i looked it up

Medical anthropologists study such issues as:

Changing body projects and valued bodily attributes

Medical practices in the context of modernity, colonial, and post-colonial social formations

The commercialization and commodification of health and medicine

Ah so its the new way marxism is ruining another subsection of science by forcing in politics

Marxism is gay

that's not a real degree or job right?

What's the funniest woke sounding name for fat people? People of mass of something?

"Curvy". It's funny because it's utterly misused and doesn't at all mean what they think it means to people that say it descriptively ;).

More like lumpy

I saw PoC (people of calories) before which was pretty funny

This is the one, lmao

I thought it was People of Circumference.

Gravity Neutral.

People of exceptional size/mass. Gravitationally challenged. Rotund and portly.

Humans of Glorious Size or HoGS for short.

People of size is my favorite

Jolly

Hi, I'm a chonk. The people in that thread all seem to be reprobates. I work in healthcare and I can confirm that the vast majority of healthcare staff, including chonks, say that being fat is bad. It is. It leads to an early death. Increased risk of pretty much everything there is to catch and generally worse symptoms of diseases. Increased cardiovascular disease risk as well as increased heart attack and stroke risk. Also commonly forgotten but seen is mobility issues. Being a chonk buts excess strain on skeleton and muscles. Back, knee and ankle pain are very common. God damn I hate people sometimes mostly all the people shown in that thread trying to say being fat isn't bad for you.

It will be curious to see what the average BMI of the covid deaths.

Excuse me sweaty but that's pretty fatphobic of you. Don't you know we're healthy at any size? Do better next time.

Despite being 60% of the population, fatties take up 95% of calories produced

covid kills mostly elderly people, 65 and older

fatsos rarely live that long

[deleted]

You're probably joking but thats the truth. You never see fat people that are that old.

It could also be that they lose weight because of illnesses, happened to my grandmother. She was fat pretty much from childhood, lost weight after 60s, is now 85 and nowadays we have to constantly monitor her diet because she tends to undereat if left alone and will then collapse from low blood sugar.

Data indicates that COVID-19 patients with a BMI of 40 or higher (severe obesity) are at a significantly higher risk for both hospitalization and death. Nearly 10% of the U.S. population falls into that BMI range.

good

10%? Holy fuck I must be blessed that 1 in 10 people I know personally are not that fucking fat good Lord

Bet you don’t live in the Midwest or the south.

I grew up in Cincinnati Ohio and went to college in Columbus, but I've lived in upstate NY for a few years now.

Covid was sent by the Chinese to cure America of the fat menace

WTF I love China now

I mean, did you watch American Factory? Based Chinese are fucking disgusted by fatty Americans. Purge them daddy Xi Ping.

🍔🙅‍♂️🇨🇳😍

reminds me of the news article here that said a 30 year old with no preexisting conditions died, turns out they were 5'4 and 300 pounds.

Sorry sweaty, but being big boned isn't a pre-existing condition. Try better next time 💅

Those high BMIs are just as, in fact, even more, likely to come from bodybuilders. Don't you know that BMI is flawed? Jeez.

Yep. Which is why it's fucking impossible to spit in burgerland without hitting a bodybuilder.

Bodybuilders, everywhere you look!

Lol everyone is just carb loading

Its actually body muscle index and mine is off the charts. I was going to get the gastric surgery but the doc said I have too many muscles they can't cut through them.

Someone linked an opinion article that tried to debunk the day factor and instead blames it on socioeconomic reasons, institutional racism and fat phobia

[removed]

You'll never see it. Pointing out someone is fat is basically like backing eugenics, as far as amerifats are concerned.

Offensive photo choice. What other group of marginalized people would you publicly shame in this way?

I can't think of another marginalized group that chooses to be part of said group. Not only that but she's implying f*tties experience the same amount of discrimination as these other groups.

Dude, the struggle I face when I sit in the middle seat on an airplane is real, pls don't erase my struggle

thats nothing compared to the struggle of the people who have to sit next to you.

It sucks they smell abhorrent and their fat spills into your seat.They also breath and snore loud as fuck

their fat spills into your seat.

if it was just that I could deal with it. the smell is worst imo

I can't think of another marginalized group that chooses to be part of said group.

Just going to pretend short men and gaycels like that?

And basketballcels. Michael Jackson proved if you really wanna be mayo you can do it.

My favorite part is that even if you're an intersectional moron, privilege is by definition unearned. Thin people literally can't have privilege because they earn it.

The issue is there is a large part of that "community" that genuinely believes their obesity is no fault of their own and that helping someone lose weight is only possible through tormenting them physically and emotionally. So to them thin people didn't earn anything, they were simply gifted thin genes or don't have some made up disability that forces their body to balloon out.

sounds like the deaf community

What?

the deaf community is hostile towards members that try to get hearing aids etc. like legitimately super toxic.

they also think being deaf is a culture. absolutely nuts

Speak up a bit?

no

They’re selling chocolate

Yeah, they have a language and shit. Ask any foreigner how it feels that their children learnt english, they'll seethe and cope despite it being the best way too secure a higher paying job other than being born white

"being fat isn't a choice some people have thyroid disorders that make weight loss impossible"

"ok but do YOU have those disorders?"

"no"

I mean, there is a little bit of truth to that. There are such things as food deserts and poorer people in first world contributes make up the highest percentage of obese people, with poor access to cheap fruits and veggies it can be somewhat difficult to stay skinny. There are a lot of people who don’t really have much of an excuse though

You literally have to not consume as much to lose weight. It's an education thing, not a poverty issue. They just happen to be intertwined.

Food deserts.

​

I remember that reddit cause.

​

As a reminder, every grocery store does sell fruits and vegetables, as well as chicken.

Which would be fine and even probably somewhat close to some semblance of truth, if not for the fact that obesity is rapidly growing in pretty much the entire world, including places that haven't had any hunger since WW2 at the latest.

Either overweight people reproduce at a massively disproportionate rate, passing on their genes forward more and more in each generation (it's over for thincels!), or it's not all genetics now, is it?..

When I was in still in school, there was a primary teacher that looked exactly like that. He was unbelievably fat. It was awful. I didn't want to go anywhere near him. I remember slowly walking behind him once as he waddled along a narrow corridor, and had to listen to his strained panting and smell the foul BO emanating from his fucking rolls and his fat ass. Just gross.

That picture is not photoshopped, it is a real fucking representation of these hamplanet fucks. I firmly believe that we should start throwing these "people" into meat processors alongside the other shit in McDonalds patties. We'll see how much fast food garbage these disgusting fucks shovel into their faces then.

What's wrong with the photo that woman in the chair is beautiful

yeah it doesnt even make sense “publicly shame” i mean it is litterally a picture of an obese person sitting down and nothing else???

It's so offensive to have to look at their own disgusting bodies. Why are they fat shaming the photo, I don't understand what's wrong?

This is incredibly distasteful to the many PoC (People of calories) that are on twitter

Each suitcase can hold one pair of pants

It's literally just a photo of a fatso sitting down, the only way that this is ridiculing or shaming is if you admit that being fat is shameful in and of itself.

that pic is hilarious tho

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Complaining at the photo choice.

They hated him because he told the truth.

To use your language, there is no “lifestyle change” shown to produce long-term, sustainable weight loss. There are ways to improve your health, which may even lead to weight loss, but the idea that you can make choices to intentionally shrink your body is a myth.

I don't even know what to say to this.

Infinite words to counter the "just stop eating like a pig god for a couple months"

Actually impressed. This degree of delusion is rare

How does someone consistently deny reality and ignore thousands of people who have done what she claims is impossible?

Just spend all day on Twitter blocking anyone who points out you're wrong

Aren’t most fats at greater risk for just about everything 🤔

Not starvation

Not starvation but some fatsos have such crap diets that we're seeing a resurgence of diseases like gout and scurvy caused by too much red meat and to little vitamin c respectively.

the american government should hold a mandatory marathon every 5 years and execute anyone who can't walk a mile

You've got my vote for the next election, and I'm not even a fucking burger.

People should be levied an income tax that is two times their bmi.

One of them linked this Wired article which is even more cope.

The CDC report and NYU letter to the editor don’t control for diabetes or cardiovascular conditions, either, although these two likely risk factors for Covid-19 happen to be associated with higher BMI.

I know people circlejerk about correlation != causation, but higher BMI definitely causes those two things. "It's not being fat that makes COVID worse, it's these things being fat causes!"

Yikes sweaty, it's not that smoking is bad, it's the lung cancer it causes that's bad!

To all my beautiful fat friends that are traumatized by articles like these

Pffffffhahahhahaha holy shit, who gets traumatized by a news article? Eat a salad fatty.

Aren't they just admitting that the person in the photo is so fat that it's shameful to even see them?

Yeah it’s weird I didn’t notice that at first. They’re all like “this is shameful.” Like, what? They used a picture of a fat dude (or dudette, can’t tell with those types; the relevant organs either converge or are hidden) and said it might give you a higher risk of getting COVID. They weren’t like “ha look at this fatso”

r/fatpeoplehate fam wya😤

Burgerland is fucked.

That poor chair :(

My favourite thing about making fun of fatpeople is that a briskwalk will be too fast for them and you can laugh at them from a few metres away 🚶 😂😇

People with PCOS who are too fat to defend themselves or run away are fun to abuse. I like to take a spoon, heat it up until it's glowing hot, then place it on the skin while they're asleep. The reaction when they wake up after the 25th time of being burned by a redhot piece of metal is amazing. You can literally piecemeal their mental stability down to complete insanity, then leave them in their own homes helpless and alone. :DDDDDDDDDD

I really, really want to see a Fat Lives Matter protest march (or scoot).

It's poor photo choice

Why? Because she's ugly? Why you think fat people are ugly? That's mighty fatphobic of you
