    Archon, you're clearly full of shit, and trying to reroute your way out of a debate you already dug yourself too far into. The fact that you propound a strawman claim, is beyond comical irony.

    lol so do I. Of course I considered that, but I'm just exploring the issue...

    I'm not even expressing my "opinion". The only reason I'd feel offense to someone telling me to stop shoving donuts in my face is that it would come as a surprise. The feeling of vulnerability would make me feel insulted or w/e. But if it became common practice to call people out on being fat (tbh it is already anyways), then it'd get the same reaction as from a smoker.

    Jeeze, cool ur jets.

    I'm not even back pedaling, just proposing...
    The end is nigh

    An obese person eats donuts out of sadness
    Or boredom, or happiness or whatever. Maybe they just haven't learned discipline, it's easy to just....eat and not think about what ur doing.

    Positively invite them to go for a walk. Be realistically encouraging and show that you care, but realize any criticize or 'grr' at them is just going to make them upset with you. (they will most likely try to eat you)

    Or you could always show them pictures of the Fat Guy being carried out of the football stadium in the stretcher that I saw the other day at the a2 football game. Dude was like 400 pounds, heart attack.

    Signed,
    The Fat Chick

    For the record, I smoke in moderation.
    well from what I can tell you are active so it doesn't matter. My dad smoked (in excess) ON TOP of no exercise AND a shitty died. He wasn't obese, too thin actually - but his genetic laziness was the problem. He got to be pretty disgusting like he kept a lot of 'stench inside him' when he should have just, worked out and pushed himself harder so all the 'gunk' in him would go away idk gross. this makes me want to get on the treadmill....

    The point is we're all allowed some vices, as long as we do enough healthy things to balance it out. If you work on some things, you're allowed to eat bad powdered donuts, or smoke, or play video games that rot your brain and cause intense near-sightedness. just choose ur poison wisley. Realistically it's entire lifestyles and moods that cause cancer or the body to be at a dis-eased state, not just a specific thing.

    Also i mean try to have sympathy, its always easier to just let yourself go then it is to work on things, so if u want people to change in that respect the only thing you can do is to be positive and encourage them, your 'tone' was probably just off. And again, I don't care unless I wanna fuck that person.
