i don't necessarily always condone barkley's nonsense and in this case, he's actually fat himself. but i don't see a problem with an organization promoting sports competition sort of needling those who need to and should be trying to get into better shape.
There's a National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance???? Fat people get their feelings hurt? Meh... Eat less, get off the couch. Stop blaming genetics and society for being skinny-centric. Humans weren't designed to be 300+ lbs. There's something wrong with you!
Is it? Can a large boned woman really choose to become smaller boned? and even if they work 5 times as hard as a naturally skinny woman to still look twice as big, should they really be discriminated against? i don't fault a man for not marrying a woman he is not attracted to, but you are looking at an extreme sample of "overweight by choice" women and condemning the rest for it. african american's can be - actors, murderers, lazy, politicians, singers depending where you look same can be said for obese (not morbidly)
How about the fact that he also said a racial slur about Hispanics in stating that when he's in SA he eats Churros all day
I'm all for political correctness but "fat acceptance" is an absolute joke. You want to keep driving health care costs up? Then accept people being fat. Otherwise, instead of throwing money at a useless organization like that, use that to promote physical fitness and implement taxes on unhealthy foods. There are so many "food deserts" in major cities where you CAN'T GO TO A SUPERMARKET. Want to know why those same deserts have a much lower life expectancy and much higher use of health care resources? Because they eat like s***. It has huge effects beyond just weight gain, including changes in the gut bacteria that promote disease processes you wouldn't even think about like asthma. Chuck's comments are in bad taste. But "accepting fat" people is ludicrous. Do something about it with all that money being siphoned to your worthless organization. Acceptance is failure.
Do you think Drug addicts are addicts because they WANT to be addicted to something that ruins their lives and the lives of those around them as well? People do not WANT or CHOOSE to be overweight/obese.
Shouldn't it be okay for fat people like Barkley to call other fat people fat? Like how it's okay for black people to use the N word? To be fair there are some big women down in San Antonio. Luckily Tim Duncan found one of the handful of skinny women living there.
most people choose to do drugs. nobody forces them to put the pipe or the syringe in their hands. the difference is there is nobody running around for crack or meth acceptance. i'm all for helping people overcome addictions and things that risk their life but some just need to people need to take responsibility over things they do to themselves.
National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance Lmao I'd love to see the people that belong to this organization. Do they have meet ups at Burger King?
whatever. Houston had that label 10 years ago. we took action. let that ****hole of a town get all that's coming to it.
It is.. It's ridiculous quote.. Being Fat is a choice.. being whatever skin color you were born with is not.. Totally ridiculous and cant believe there is a fat acceptance whatever.. It's not natural for humans to be FAT and Obese.. Yes it's a serious problem in this country but it's mainly due to peoples diet and being lazy.. For the most part this isnt an issue in other parts of the world.. only in good ol fat obese america.. yes some people are naturally taller, stronger have larger bones or whatever .. but NO people should not have layers and layers of FAT that they can't even walk.. they can do something about that and it's not some stupid medical issue.. its cause by the crap people eat and put in their bodies from a young age.
Now that you mention it, its pretty telling how little publicity lung cancer gets in comparison to something like breast cancer when it is much more common and undoubtedly the leading cause of cancer related death. http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/uscs/toptencancers.aspx
+1, lol I can't believe how many people buy into the stupid "big boned" argument. Take an Xray of any "big boned" person and you'll find a "skinny-boned" one trapped inside
Cause everyone knows your skin color changes if you stop eating excessively..... Also has anyone ever met a person named Peggy that wasn't fat?
