It's a small, small world, and you're too fat for it

[Watson]

Some whole foods are cheap. I eat lots of beans and lentils and buying them in bulk at Wild Oats or even bagged is dirt cheap. But some types of produce and organic meats are extremely high. I buy them anyway, but I always think how grateful I am to be able to afford them. I know a lot of people can't. I've been paying $6.00 for a bag of small organic apples. They're one of the fruits I always buy organic, since they absorb higher concentrations of pesticides than say, bananas. A bag lasts me a while, but if I was a single parent with three kids, I wouldn't be buying the organic apples, and it's a shame. When kids are small and they're bodies are still growing is when so many of these chemicals can be particularly harmful.

While you may not be able to afford organic, locally grown produce is often reasonably priced and has less pesticide use then factory farm produced food. If you live in a region where they produce apples you might want to look into that. Plus you really reduce your carbon footprint since the food travels a reduced distance to get to you.

Why has no one addressed the smell?

You did. I'm not sure it's true because I've come into contact with far too many hygenically deficient people to think it's just a weight thing.

it came up early in the thread....yes fat people have a weird smell about them....

weird = bad

It's not just a weight thing, all of the smelly people I know, none of them are fat, they're athletes and vegetarians . . and one is French.

They are just continuing the trend of picking on fat people.

 

[BRUTAL]

Fat people need to be picked on. Clearly no one else in their life does it for them, or else they wouldn't be fat.

Speaking of food, I noticed quite a few smoothie bars popping up in airports and malls. I like that trend. Those are much more healthy than most snacks and certainly better than soda.

Ah, I get it, you saw that onion video released a few months ago, and you are a parrot.

I don't think anyone needs to be "picked on". Their loved ones can and should address them in a loving, constructive way about their habits.

Yeah but being Black isn't a heath risk, nor is it an eyesore to those around you.

Hrm, I guess that makes it ok then.

or put signs on their back that say 'Kick me...I'm Fat".....

Haha, eyesore, you're funny.

 

[BlackLantern]

never said it was OK...just said it happens....

Yeah sandwich their disgusting problem in between notions of how you love them blah blah, or just tell them they're fat and gross. See which one gets results.

did you say "sandwich".....?

 

[El ASESINO]

The things my friends and I used to do to fat people when I was in high school. We made alot of them cry and leave school

 

[BRUTAL]

did you say "sandwich".....?

I had this fat chick on one of my classes in college, we named her "Sammich"

Once again, do you really think it's wise to do such a thing to do? By extension, do you really want people to get picked on because they make non healthy lifestyle choices?

Yes, then they'll change and be un-fat

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Do we need to bring in the blue sarcasm font for this thread? Seems like people are having a hard time picking up on it

 

[Fran]

Nah, I think we're fine.

 

[BRUTAL]

Shhhh

 

[AndThePickles]

Do we need to bring in the blue sarcasm font for this thread? Seems like people are having a hard time picking up on it

It's been needed ever since it was first brought up

Besides, everyone in this thread is being completely serious.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Yes, then they'll change and be un-fat

So, you have no problem with people making fun of you if don't make perfect health choices? How about people making fun of your kids for that?
