why do people around here automatically assume that fat people are lazy?

Everytime someone starts a thread on overweight people people assume that they are lazy. I know plenty of fat people who are productive members of society.

I see fat people who are close to death who have more energy than I do.

I should be extremely concerned about my health.

They eat too much and don't get enough exercise.

I guess that doesn't necessarily count as being "lazy." They could still work hard in their job or whatever.

But they really should care about their health more.

alright.supa_badman

LOL, iunno if this post is meant to be funny but i LOL'd

but yeah ppl assume fat ppl are lazy cuz most of them are,

A lot of the fat people I see don't do anything about their weight and keep their bad eating habitsLief_Ericson

Some fat people may not be lazy at all and have hard-worning jobs. They just don't have very good eating habits, or exercise ones either.

A lot of overweight people (like me) have a really hard losing weight even with a great balanced diet and regular exercise. It's just their metabolism is really bad.mattpunkgd

This forces your metabolism to constantly be active which speeds up and improves the metabolism.

I feel sorry for overweight people. Most of them can't help it, but it gives others an immediate false impression of them. I've seen my bosses let a person's weight affect whether they get called back for another interview. They don't even pretend that it's not an issue.

On a related note, did anyone see Obama make a joke about Jessica Simpson's weight last night? That was sad, but still kind of funny.

I used to work at wal-mart and believe me mostly all the people who came in their were overweight. And not because of medical problems. lol.
