Shock horror, almost a quarter of us (22% female, 24% male) are fat.

We, as a society, accepted fatties, that it was okay to be a fat whale, not to pick on the fat kid.

Well look at us backpeddling now. Ha.

The queer who eats a banana at work instead of a Mars Bar now can mock at will.

So c'mon, pick up your best insults, and lets bring a tidal wave of misery upon these spare tyre mothers until they get off their fat, lazy arses and LOSE SOME WEIGHT.

shut up lardarse.

these statistics mean nothing. I am the 1%

Define "Fat." Coz it seems everyone who has ever eaten anything is now defined as fat. I know a guy who stands 6ft, has a 34" waist and was recently told he was "borderline obese." Go figure.

we never accepted fat we just didn't accept bullying in schools, workplace etc

a 1/4 of who?

Distasteful. Some people have a problem losing weight, may not be their fault that they're overweight.

I'm not part of those statistics, mainly because I'm on the other side of the ocean but also because I eat like a horse and can't put on weight.

Why aren't people highlighting that issue?

6"3 14.5 stone. according to Drs chart im just into the overweight catagorie!

I don't see how "bringing a tidal wave of misery" will help anyone..

a good friend of mine dropped 13 stone in 8 months from the right diet and exercise... hes 6ft 2 and 16 stone now iirc... im pretty sure this still puts him into the 'fat catagory' by all doctors recommendations... hes litterally (almost) half the man he used to be... but at one point he was consuming 16000 (Yes sixteen thousand !!! ) calories in a weekend in drink and food

i tend not to listen when people say they 'cant' loose weight as ive seen the proof otherwise! for a very small percentage of people i agree that surgery may be the only way.

BUT

Fatty Cheryl and her 4 fatty kids shouldnt be relying on/expecting me and all you other great british taxpayers to foot the NHS bill for her gastric band and kids defects just because she crams massive amounts of junk food into their mouths and cant be arsed to take them down to the park once a day for an hour... ive watched jeremy kyle and its really not THAT important if you miss it!

get list im 16 stone an proud, i admit i dont look it

best way to reduce the number of fat people in the UK is give Scotland independents



:tempt:

didnt we already try building a wall?

16 stone here.. heh, yeah i know i could do with losing some weight.. but meh. ive got nothing to lose it for. besides as soon as i start work it will fall off me.
(given i get a min wage job where you never get the chance to sit down.. well thats what i am aiming for. aim low, never get disappointed. >_<)

As a Scot is it bad that, when I read this I thought 'so true.'

Well im 15 stone but my BMI says im over weight . . .
wouldn't call myself fat one bit (36 waist) but bar charts say i am
Also bring on the big girls i love um! :worship:

BMI is a waste of time...hieght and weight, yeah but what makes up the weight? Doesn't take anything into consideration. For example, 6ft3" bodybuilder...weights 18 stone...BMI says he's obese yet he could have 4% bodyfat.

Oh and women naturally have higher % bodyfat internally around vital child bearing organs.

Case closed.

I'm afraid most eating habits these days leave a lot to be desired. I'm out & about in the community due to my job, the amount of people eating crap on the hoof is quite staggering. More fat people nowadays that's for sure.

My wife lectures in child & youth studies. Stating the obvious it's a life style choice. People tend to be lazy in modern times. Most of this could be reversed by some easy changes. As an add on, diabetes is on the increase. These are well known facts. Sad to say Scotland's eating & drinking habits are very poor to say the least.

yep. its pathetic and costing us a fortune. sums up the greed of the UK and US well though. If you go to any country in Europe its difficult to find a fatty.
