That is just an opinion, that varies with individuals. At what point does a person become disgusting? 1 pound over weight, 10lbs, 20lbs? But I think you are just joking with that comment anyway
Not sure I can agree with this, we live in a consumer society, if everyone only purchased the essentials for survival society would collapse in days. As for the gene pool, unless you are talking about 2 fat to actually move to have sex then I would suggest that the gene pool is better off. I can't see the gene pool being otherwise effected.

[QUOTE="SteverXIII"]Quick question, are any of the people here defending her overweight? just curious.[/QUOTE]
There is nothing to defend, being overweight is not a crime.
[/QUOTE] Stating the truth isn't a crime, why should people refrain from 'insulting' obese people. Since when are genetic dispositions and environmental factors perfectly reasonable excuses for their bad behaviour? Does anyone else regard it as odd that suddenly ~20% of the populations suffers from this condition?
Another oddity in this genetic/environmental factor is the comparison between smokers, addicts, bums and criminals. They all suffer from genetic/enviromental factors, but it's perfectly fine to take a dump on them.
People need to realize that obesity tends to be caused by a horrible diet which is very easy to change. Furthermore, as opposed to what many people want to believe, gaining fat easily equals losing fat easily for the vast majority of people. Obese people seem unable to realize that they need permanent dietary changes, as opposes to temporal ones. The 'I did a diet and lost most of my weight but gained everything back' problem has nothing to do with genetics, it's a stupidity thing.
The no time/energy excuse is the worst of all, seriously, what would be the reason behind these low energy levels? Fighting obesity means changing your way of life, not going to the gym 2 times a week and going on a diet for 6 months.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

What has consumor society have to do with anything.
You WANT an overall obese population? what benefits does it bring to ANYONE? Its ultimately just like smokers' habit. hard to ween off but not impossible.
You want to defend higher heart failures, obese children, diabetes risk and just plain UNATTRACTIVENESS just because it isn't a crime?
I have no problem with people being fat, do what they like, but her little "strike back" came off as pretty pathetic to me, it just made her look worse.[QUOTE="tenaka2"][QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="tenaka2"]
