Anyone watch this last night?


Personally I thought he was just too accepting of the fact that in 5 years time 70% of us will be overweight or obsese.
Fair enough, life can be difficult for fat people, he made some good points, but I still think that if we accommodate their needs what encouragement would they have to ever lose the weight?
Its just like giving in an excepting the fact that we are a fat nation.
Instead I think we should be encouraging these people that to be 25 stone is bad for your health, that can lead to an early death, Not that Britian needs to change to accommodate them.
There were 2 seventeen year old girls who were a size 20/22 and complaining that they cannot wear fashionable clothes, instead of ranting on to the shops, I think we should be encouraging these young girls to loose weight.

He said he had been on practically every diet known to man, with no sucess.
BULLSHIT.
If you eat less calories than your body burns, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.
Scienific fact.
Unless of course you have something medically wrong with you, in which case seek medical help, don't think "ah well fuck it, I am fat".

I dunno, I just think to give in to something like obsesity is wrong, not being able to wear fashionable clothes, fit into cars, go to amusement parks, sit on the toilet with ease [those where all the points he came up with] might actually encourage these people to do something about their weight.
People always diet for a reason....without those reasons, what hope have we got as a nation?

Views?

i think fat is not only ugly but unhealthy...NUKE THE FATTIES!!! lol umm seriously though I dont really know what my stance is on this because enabling is not really a condonable stance to take, but at the same time nor is judging or discriminating..it's a catch 22 damned if you do ....damned if you dont!

I do think fatty food should be taxed/cost more as a deterrent to eating it but also so we can afford to treat these fatties in our hospitals

im glad im not fat, phew.

i also think fatty food should cost more, than healthy food. but realistically, is that ever going to happen? no.

America is a fat nation too...it really is sad. People can totally do something about it, but if they refuse to help themselves, then I don't feel bad.
