QotD: Obesity

Question: Is obesity a disease?

Answer: No, it’s being lazy and having no willpower. I’m about 25 – 30 pounds overweight for my height, but I sure as hell don’t go around telling people it’s because of some pretend disease I have. It’s because I’m lazy and don’t eat right or exercise… It’s not a very complicated concept. I do drink about 90 – 100oz. (3 litres) of water a day though, so at least I do that right. :)

  1. I gotta agree AND disagree :-p

    Recent studies have shown that ’some’ forms of obesity are genetic. You CAN inherit the ‘fat’ gene.

    The rest of course, have no excuse.

    I’m 5 foot 10 and weigh 10st (and have been for my entire adult life). I eat very badly - mainly junk (hi fat) food and drink a fair amount of beer. I do hardly any excercise and I smoke like a chimney - go figure :-/

    Sorry… I’ve run out of energy to finish this pos…
