humans are not designed to be fat
I can't stand obese people, they don't deserve any medical treatment (unless they have some metabolic or other disease influencing their weight)

Genetics play a pretty big role in if a person grows up obese or not.

Heritabilities for obesity-related phenotypes varied from 6% to 85% among various populations.

I won't judge people until I get a sample of their DNA.

just let ppl make their own choices, they may get them fat or not, genes only tell us who is more likely to get fat.

[laoa]

those obesity-related phenotypes are defects in their metabolism
so, as I said, they form an exception

yeah, let ppl make their own choices, but it is unfair that people who abuse their body, profit from our healthinsurance

Then there are some people who "suffer" from a "disease" that makes their body unable to store fat. I want that disease!!

Oh there is?
I always just thought my metabolism was super inefficient.
I burn through 4000 kcal a day like nothing.

Except for the fact that having a predisposition to obesity was an advantage for roughly 99,9% of human history. Well, not obesity, but being chubby was.

How things change so fast. Quite interesting really, how our modern habits essentially vilify a fairly significant part of our own evolutionary necessities.

[laoa]

as you say, not obesity
obesity has absolutely no advantage nor is it a necessity, anything but

"Sup, what you doing on Black Friday?"
"Gonna watch some Kill la Kill."
"What?"
"I'll be watching Kill la Kill."
"Wtf is that?"
"Anime ... ah yea, I'll grab me some good tacos and sauce while watching it."

Being relatively healthy should be a national requirement.

Jk, but seriously even being half way in shape makes you feel better.

This is about a week late but guys, I got my braces off

Although just when I thought I was done with metal in my mouth, I was handed a retainer [sigh]

so many jokes to be made.... but honestly that's pretty sweet. Orthodontic gear was a pain though.

[megido-rev.M]

I never had any of it.

Consider yourself lucky. I used a wrench to move my teeth. It was fun.

[megido-rev.M]

I don't think that's what they mean by fixing your teeth. lol

This is pretty much what I had, but more primitive due to the time frame in which I had it.

[ThePlaneJet]

That looks fun,..not.

[megido-rev.M]

Ugly teeth pics .

[metro.]

That looks fun,..not.

Yeah imagine being 12 and being told that's about to happen. Actually I think I was younger.... It was fun.


Also, for the first time this week I'm actually having dinner, woo! Adulthood here we come.

[megido-rev.M]

About time you ate properly.

Somehow I read that as...

just let ppl make their own clothes, they may get them fat or not, genes only tell us who is more likely to get fat.

I was like "Ohhh, that sounds fun! That last part seems like a weird way to follow that up though..."

[megido-rev.M]

So tired, but I must watch anime! -.-...
