    To the extent that's an actual thing, it's exhibited by height, not weight.

    Everyone is born skinny, all honest fat people know exactly when and how we got there.

    Wow, surely you are kidding? :confused:

    There are people who are endomorph's.. there are different body types: ectomorph, mesomorph and Endomorph.

    Research, man.

    My god, what is this? I...I can't even begin to think of how to respond to it.

    Also fyi there no such thing as large bones or skinny bones.

    I don't even understand the second part of your post. Are you comparing fat people with black people?

    I just, listen, being fat sucks, yes, but you can at least do something about it. Do you think black people in the 50's could run 5 times more than a white person then suddenly get to drink from the white taps?

    Any discrimination is bad, but comparing this to the plights of people who have no power to change what has been handed to them is ridiculous!

    Also, to be an obese person that has had a healthy diet and regular exercise for years is a statistical anomaly!

    National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is legit. Quit hating.

    They're even recognized by the National Association for the Advancement of Neckbeards.

    No, San Antonio is known for tex mex cuisine.

    If he went to Austin for BBQ or New York for pizza or New Orleans for gumbo.

    Being fat is NOT the same thing as being "insert skin color"

    There's a huge difference between hating a people group for their skin color, and calling a fat person fat! They don't have to be fat, if they don't wanna be made fun of, they shouldn't be fat.

    I'm not saying it's okay to make fun of them, but it's something that they can change by simply not being so fat! I know some people are just bigger than others, that's fine, there's a difference in being a "big" person and being fat... Just sayin...

    oh my god. is this what it's like in america? I'm sorry but people can absolutely control what their weight is unless you've got some exotic rare as fk thyroid condition.

    wanna not be obese? run around a bit and don't eat enough food to satiate a small country.

    This is like when people post pictures of themselves being fat and happy with it, well great, its none of my business and people can choose to live their lives how they want, but don't get all bent out of shape trying to justify being fat/obese, because its unhealthy, you feel worse physically and mentally than someone who has a balanced diet and exercises well, and statistically you've got one foot in the grave by 40.

    **** these associations trying to tear down chuck, he says a lot of stupid things but he's real as it is out there.

    Yes, there are ectomorphs, mesomorphs, endomorphs. There are also healthy people of each type and dangerously unhealthy people of each type. Being an endomorph doesn't automatically give you a 35 BMI.

    Well, there's a spectrum for sure. It's easy for some and not easy for others. Metabolism and genetics and various health issues can play a big role.

    But it's *not* like race, and very very few people need to be obese based on pure genetics. And, finally, unlike race, obesity is definitely correlated to being really really bad for your health, just like smoking.

    I agree with you. I never said anything to the contrary - just that some people are 'big boned' (endomorph)


    Obviously big boned is not a literal statement. Some people do have different body types, and endomorph being one of them.
