This was the funniest thing I have seen in ages - but the worry is that these days there seems to be no area of depravity or stupidity that doesn't become an opportunity for its proponents to join the long queue of modern day 'Victims'. Victimhood is now the ultimate badge of honour - and we wonder why Western civilisation is going down the toilet. Just to make one simple point regarding the connection between weight and health: have they forgotten that it was the obese who were the most likely to die from c0vid? I thought at the time it might have been a wake-up call to the obese - but "NO!" - apparently the virus is also practicing racism and fat-phobia, and the overweight are merely hapless victims of a world that is totally unfair.
Yes, sometimes I get pushback for making fun of the fats. But the thing is that I would NEVER in a million years make fun of someone really trying to help themselves and live their best life by making the necessary life changes and putting in the effort. What deserves derision and scorn are these "fat activists" who simply want the world to accommodate their unhealthy lifestyle by pretending its empowering or whatever.
You are doing fat people a favor by shaming them. Rewarding fatness is a trap for the fat, who shorten their lives while also making them profoundly (I imagine) unpleasant and unnecessarily cumbersome.
Hahaha. I lived in China for 20 years to 2016, and return now annually. I was clean-shaven that whole period and each time I return off comes a year's growth of facial hair. I do that because I know how Chinese view beards as barbaric and I don't want/need to parade around Chengdu or Xiamen and draw unnecessary and unflattering comments on how I present myself. * I * conform to * their * worldview, not the other way around. It's how 95% of the world works. It's how it used to work here in the GAE. But for a couple decades now we've celebrated mental illness / diversity, and somehow the patients are shocked to find there's a whole other, much-saner, world out there that doesn't accept "their truth." Suck on it.
I fully understood what you were meaning to say - and I was especially 'in awe' (not in a good way) by the assertions of Sabrina Strings that body weight is somehow a racist issue - and that it has its genesis in 18th century white supremacy. It isn't - it's a defiant 'self-indulgence' issue, and I note here that I have yet to see a fat athlete win entry to the Olympic Games, for which the standards were pretty much set in ancient Greece. I also don't remember ever reading about obese people in invading armies, dangerous rescue operations or any other activity requiring strength and health. So ultimately, it appears to me that fatness is another subset of the pandemic of mental health decline that is rampaging across our world - and actually turning the healthy, the successful and the intelligent into actual victims of the Left's 'shaming' campaigns against those who aren't prepared to go through life as some sort of victim.
For all I know, there could be Olympic Sumo Wrestling.
Either way, they are powerful and fat.
A little known fact about fat guys is that while they have less total testosterone, they have MORE Free Testosterone, which is the only useful kind, if it's bound it doesn't do anything.
Fat dudes can be incredibly strong, and it's not that hard to see where fat and fit came from with working dudes.
My best friend is 6'6" and well over 400 pounds, and I guarantee you could never begin to keep up with him.
He plays Racquetball, and dominates his opponents, it's incredible to watch.
Until he retired a couple years ago, he got up at 4:30AM, met his friends for breakfast at the diner, opened up the stamping plant he ran, got the machines started, welcomed the employees, and worked his ass off in a hot noisy plant, shut down at 3:30, out the door at 4, over to the Y for racquetball and weight lifting, home for dinner.
In his spare time, after dinner and on weekends, over ten years, he built a 5000sq.ft.Amish style construction home for his family.
The whole thing, framing, HVAC, plumbing, roofing even laying individual tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Seriously, he is sixty nine now and rare is the twenty year old that could keep up with him.
Also, the famed Scots Gallowglass Warriors were all fat as pigs. The reason was two fold: insulation so they could simply lay down in field and go to sleep in a blizzard.Secondly, if you ever heard" The Bigger They Are The Harder They Fall" I assure you, it's BS.
The bigger they are, The Harder it's to Make them fall.
John, I am in awe of your persistence in stalking this big boy idol of yours for so many decades, and being able to list all his heroic performances. All power to him I say - of course not overlooking his 6'6" frame, which naturally would have to hold a lot more muscle to prevent him having back injuries etc. So, is your point that because there were some fat guys (including that Scottish mob) who were very successful despite their size, that this proves fatness is not unhealthy? I happen to know that Sumos only stay as fat as they are with ridiculously rich diets, and they don't stay in 'the game' very long, notwithstanding that they have to exert a lot of strength, thus requiring a lot of training. When you think about it though, having an army of such people requiring massive amounts of food to keep up their monumental appearance and insurmountability would be quite ruinous for most warlords I think. And seriously you can't be comparing these outliers to the fat lounge-lizards who populate the whingeing pages on every social media site - and who increasingly demand that their various disabilities resulting from their unfitness are glorified in the Victim Halls of Fame?
..Seriously???? - have you lost your way from some dinghy underground social media platform that trades in pathetic insults and low-life one-upmanship? I don't know where you are coming from, but I hope you go back there really soon. In any case I am NOT going to prefer fat guys, or be convinced that they are the future of humanity - no matter their sperm count. Sorry if you are fat and protecting your kind - I wish you well in finding a partner, with such a vicious outlook...
I made one mainbpoint, and your abysmal ignorance notwithstanding, it is purely factual.
For the third time, Fat Guys have more free testosterone and that is the only kind that matters.
I am sorry you are a mouthy punk who couldn't keep up with my friend with a gun to your head, but reality can be a bitch for you overly " sensitive" types.
Your foulmouthed rubbish really isn't convincing anyone dear. Only, I feel that you are wasting too much of your energy on throwing these inept gas-bombs at someone who really couldn't give a shit. At least I'm not FAT. You might be better off doing some paintball or something - where you can let your vitriolic energy out in a more productive way. Alternatively, you could ask that guy with the gun to put you out of your misery. That would be a win-win for both of us.
In India also it was a sign of prosperity to be overweight - which says nothing at all about their state of general health. When speaking of these traditional larger people, one needs to also consider that most of the obesity in modern society is produced by extremely unhealthy diets of processed refined sugars, not coconuts and taro - so already the body is in a constant state of inflammation. And the frame of a Polynesian and the average modern urbanite cannot be compared. It's like saying that a chihuahua can be just as strong as a labrador if you just 'pump them up' with an overdose of food every day. No - not how it works.
You forgot junk politicians.... I just saw a docco the other day about alternative cancer treatments in Japan and they were saying most of the rising rates of cancer are due to obesity from Japanese now preferring American Junk food. Where are we headed?
Yes, great example. There used to be a site called Alien-Earth.org but I don't think it's up anymore.
Anyway, there was a very popular poster called Rex, and though everyone knew she was a girl from L.A., she has a running gag that she was a 600 pound Polynesian named Kona.
So, double score! Great example and you triggered a fond memory of the early days of the net.
I don't know. When I saw it formed a link, I clicked it too, and what I got was an ad for Elon Musk's super duper best ever gummies which reverse Alzheimer's!

Excess weight like the one displayed in the image of that video of the DOVE thing is just a byproduct of the modern daily western lifestyle. Just a sign of degeneration of the organism. Nothing else.
Pretending that a fat uman animal organism is a balanced one is just another one of those idiocies so common nowadays!

When Dove started this crapola, they called it The Campaign for Real Beauty, and featured a bunch of sweats in their underwear.
I called the The Campaign for Pretending Sweat Hogs Are Beautiful.
I never could make sense of Welcome Back Kotter, why would a bunch of dudes call themselves Sweat Hogs?!!
In my neighborhood, Sweathogs were fat women, commonly shortened to simply Sweats, but everyone knew what it meant.
They were blissfully fewer of them in those days, and virtually no tatted up hos.
Life is like a box of chocolates.
It doesn't last as long for fat people.
"Fat is flavour"...

Something got mistranslated somewhere...
Sumo... Mikhakhanov said: "It's never easy to stay healthy as long as you are living the life of a sumo wrestler."
"But you are the only person who can take care of you," he said. "Nobody in your sumo stable cares about you."
Yeah, I never wanted to be one. It does not seem to be a desirable profession.
As far as no one caring about their competition, that's just life, just basic reality.
I only have interest in individual sports. In my thirties, when I went back to school, I started my day swimming 6 miles, 6 days a week.
I also like to cross country ski.
But sporting competitions bore me, I just don't care who wins, I don't even know the people.

Be as thick as you want to be, Dingle berry, reality says you are not just a little off track.
One more time, since you have trouble with reality;
FAT GUYS HAVE MORE FREE TESTOSTERONE, THE ONLY KIND THAT MATTERS.
Hope you got it this time, you ill bred and poorly raised slow poke twit..

You are what you eat.
Historically, it was seen as desirable to carry extra weight for the same reason many preppers advocate for a pot belly: famine.
A thief can steal your food or you can he forced to leave it behind.
Going without won't be a lot easier but you will last a lot longer with a "spare tire".
You forgot junk politicians.... I just saw a docco the other day about alternative cancer treatments in Japan and they were saying most of the rising rates of cancer are due to obesity from Japanese now preferring American Junk food. Where are we headed?

I regret that I have but one heart to give.

Look on the bright side, the smelly porky one won't be annoying us for very long.
