i'm really fucking sick of this political message that we need to just accept fat people. i wouldn't care so much if resources were infinite, but they're not. so, markets are not able to solve anything (unless they can make resources infinite). every time a doctor is forced to treat somebody that lives like a fucking animal, it takes away resources from somebody that is more entitled to them. i'd be just as happy to round all these fucking pigs up, put them in a rocket and eject them into space.

it's true that people have a very hard time keeping the weight off. the report tries to gloss over this with the politically correct bullshit that it's a "mix of biological and social factors". what that means is that people go back to their old shitty lifestyles again, and deal with the consequences over again. the fact that they were able to lose weight in the first place clearly demonstrates that we're dealing with lifestyle and not biology. going back to it just means relapsing.

the conclusion is not that it's impossible to lose weight, but that most north americans are disgusting, vile creatures that cannot take care of their own health and deserve to be ground up and fed to cattle. that's the uncomfortable message that isn't getting out, and that reports like this are trying to obscure.

stop the bullshit. fat=lazy. deal with it.
