Watched a interesting documentary the other day. Think it was BBC Horizon "The truth about fat". There is a Dr. le Roux (From SA) that discovered there are two hormones that was not known about before. The one signals when you are hungry and need food and the other signals when you are full and need to stop. In many obese people you will find that these two hormones are dysfunctional. Obese people's hormone that tells them they are hungry is very level compared to people that are thin or of relatively normal weight. They therefore always feel like they need to eat.

This I guess is only one of many factors, but it seems to play a big part in the worlds growing obesity problems, especially where energy rich foods is constantly in your face as opposed to the days when you had to go and hunt for food. /shrug.

A partial answer to your quote.

Less understandable too. I hardly know what the F she is talking about.

Oh carp, I must be a double bigot. I just presumed it was a she. Sexism confirmed.

It was a tweet I found under the fat acceptance hashtag but here you go. I'm still trying to get to the actual source.

Thanks, it just seems to be a little bit too extreme to be real, almost reads like a caricature.

One unpleasant side effect of the internet is it gives the lunatic fringe too much of a voice.

The reason people are fat is because they eat more calories than what they burn. Don't try and sugar coat it as you'll eat that too.

Not everyone is anti-fat, twice in recent years I've come across guys on online dating sites that enquired about my weight 'cos I list that I'm a big guy (just under 2m & not skinny) & both times they weren't interested because I didn't make the required bodyweight.

One of them was recently single 'cos his boyfriend elected to have gastric bypass and he would rather break up than not be with a fat guy..

People should do whatever the **** they want, let the 'everything offends me' crowd be offended if it suits them.

I was so hungry last night I ate 4 tins of alphabet spaghetti. This morning I had a massive vowel movement.
