Brilliant for the elderly/invalid. More convenient than wheelchairs and walkers, for sure.

Lets hope they don't make a version that holds fatties. I get sick to my stomach when 75% of the scooters at Wal-Mart are being used by lard balls instead of people with actual disabilities.

I am always like "Hey fatty, nice fat cells, YOUR MOM GIVE YOU THOSE" all while having a contorted look on my face.

To an extent. Its out of a lot of people's control if you consider it a disease. which it *is* really. I'm skinny, but in the same way, not by choice. I never exercise and don't really watch what i eat. if i had obesity genes i'd probably weigh 600 lbs.

Some people do have other conditions that cause them to gain weight as a side effect. And sometimes, it's the treatments for other conditions that do it.

not in all cases. granted, some is due to lack of exercise and poor diet. but almost everyone in developed nations is guilty of that. don't confuse your metabolism with the illusion that you eat better/excercise. and you're on 4chan. you prolly don't do either anyway.

from wikipedia: "...some people are able to maintain a reasonable balance between energy input and energy expenditure whereas others have a chronic imbalance that favors energy input, which expresses itself as overweight and obesity. These differences could be due to genetic reasons, imbalance of the gut flora, or simple excess of intake compared with a person's basal metabolic rate and level of physical exercise. A combination of excessive caloric intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility is thought to explain most cases of obesity, with a limited number of cases due solely to genetics, diet, medical reasons, or psychiatric illness."

On a similar note, don't assume that all of us fatasses actually blame genetics entirely. Some of us have weighed the options and decided being fat is the best choice.

no, when 90% of formerly desert-dwelling peoples gain huge weight upon entering the supermarket lifestyle, that shit is genetic. (or epigenetic, we're still working on that.) assuming you're american, you're quite likely not eating any better, despite any "health food" fetishes.

Of course. People rather walk with their own two legs. This is pretty close to it compared to the other two.

Don't feed me that bullshit, I'm fat, and I'm fine with being fat. But I sure as hell am not going around saying, "Oh, this is totally the best choice for my body!".

But hey, by "weighed the options" you probably just mean, "gonna be lazy".

Yes some people are prone to being fat, but that doesn't mean you have no control. If you eat less and get some constant exercise you can avoid being significantly overweight, period.

tl;dr version: If you're average height then you should be able to easily keep it under 200lbs, more or less adjusted to height and build.

That's what I meant. Weighed the enjoyment of being fat and all it implies (delicious food et al) with the pain-in-the-ass that is exercising.

Being thin has its benefits too, but I agree with you that "exercising" is pretty much garbage unless you're extremely motivated. Hence why I agree with the other poster, get a bike and use it to go to work and run errands - it's not exercise, it's getting stuff done minus the expense of gasoline, and with the additional bonus of fresh air. If you burn 5,000 calories a day, you can eat pretty much whatever the hell you want and be slim.

Fixed that for you.

The rates of obesity have skyrocketed in the last few decades. Spoiler: It's not because from selective pressure from an obesity gene.

not surprising... the japanese have this weird thing for putting stuff up their asses.

they have rectally administered medicines (see: shove a pill up your butt)

the popular game the kids all play in elementary school isn't tag or hide'n'go seek.... it's something called "kanchou" where you try to sneak up on someone and jam your fingers into their crack.

look it up if you don't believe me.
