"I NEED FAT ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE OF THE HIDE BUTTON ON OKCUPID"

"I NEED FAT ACCPETANCE BECAUSE MY HANDSOME NEIGHBOR DOESN'T EAT MY SNATCH"

[Necrometer]

Are obese people somehow not being allowed to contribute to the world? Are there some stories I'm missing out where working plans for a car engine that runs on water were sent over to GM and once it was revealed to have been invented by a fat person, they through them away?

What the fuck is this supposed to mean? Some of these people really think they're engaging in a civil rights struggle here. It's amazing.

There is anti-fat discrimination that takes place in hirings. If a fat person does have something to contribute, odds are they'll face an uphill battle doing so. (And uphill battles are especially tough for them what with the reality of gravity and all.)

I need fat acceptance to try and end my eating eat disorder that being fat shamed forces to continue.

I'd think only having one body issued would be a decent argument against treating it like a dumpster, but what do I know

It's like showing up with wrinkled clothes and smeared make-up, except it's your entire body

hobo acceptance

[Raw Ting]

I have noticed (hard to miss) a fat personal trainer at the gym....who has clients. Maybe a fatter person feels comfortable with a fat personal trainer, however, a few days ago I saw him training a man in much better shape than him...


To clarify, he doesn't look like someone who is muscular with some extra cushion, he's a fat kid in his twenties.

you do notice that 99.9% of these people are white? there's why.

just realized juggalos are pro-size-acceptance...

You know I'll accept your fatness, but accept that I have a strict no fatties policy

[THE KILL]

[Cryptoplasty]

This is probably the most retarded thing I've ever read.

[Gunther]

it's making me angry knowing that people like that really exist and say things like that and mean it.

[Cryptoplasty]

I feel that screen captures like this should not have the persons name covered up. These people need to be exposed.

[alleged triggerman]

Succinct and to the point.

[riley-o]

I have to believe that screencap is trolling

[Blair]

There is no limit to the human capacity for stupidity and/or self-delusion; the extreme ends of the bell curve man... ...the internet gives those things a voice.

[Necrometer]

^ that is some EXTREMELY contorted logic

pre-diabetes seems to cause weight gain

oh yeaaaaaaaaaah

it does, doesn't it!?

[Geeheeb]

FUck I saw a study that seemed to indicate that insulin resistance might come before weight gain, Ross. Will try to post. It was because of CONTENT of diet (carbs, processed food), not overload of calories.

I don't think that is so crazy. a link would be appreciated - I didn't find that on PubMed and my top google hit delivered only LOLs:


oh, is it this guy?

Abstract
BACKGROUND:

Obesity induced by high fat (HF) diet is associated with inflammation which contributes to development of insulin resistance. Most prior studies have focused on adipose tissue as the source of obesity-associated inflammation. Increasing evidence links intestinal bacteria to development of diet-induced obesity (DIO). This study tested the hypothesis that HF western diet and gut bacteria interact to promote intestinal inflammation, which contributes to the progression of obesity and insulin resistance.
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:

Conventionally raised specific-pathogen free (CONV) and germ-free (GF) mice were given HF or low fat (LF) diet for 2-16 weeks. Body weight and adiposity were measured. Intestinal inflammation was assessed by evaluation of TNF-alpha mRNA and activation of a NF-kappaB(EGFP) reporter gene. In CONV but not GF mice, HF diet induced increases in body weight and adiposity. HF diet induced ileal TNF-alpha mRNA in CONV but not GF mice and this increase preceded obesity and strongly and significantly correlated with diet induced weight gain, adiposity, plasma insulin and glucose. In CONV mice HF diet also resulted in activation of NF-kappaB(EGFP) in epithelial cells, immune cells and endothelial cells of small intestine. Further experiments demonstrated that fecal slurries from CONV mice fed HF diet are sufficient to activate NF-kappaB(EGFP) in GF NF-kappaB(EGFP) mice.
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE:

Bacteria and HF diet interact to promote proinflammatory changes in the small intestine, which precede weight gain and obesity and show strong and significant associations with progression of obesity and development of insulin resistance. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence that intestinal inflammation is an early consequence of HF diet which may contribute to obesity and associated insulin resistance. Interventions which limit intestinal inflammation induced by HF diet and bacteria may protect against obesity and insulin resistance.

That study deals with OLD people and their age-related changes in physiology, not spry young bloggers.

[Geeheeb]

I will leave this here. Ross, this might give you some ideas on how YOU can get involved in the fight against (other people's) cellulite:

[Necrometer]

will watch that NSFW vid later

but we all know old people are the pro-fat bloggers' best friend, since that's the age when a sea of subcutaneous lard will improve your chances of survival

[Geeheeb]

Extremely work safe.

I think I remember what you're talking about... I can't remember what study it was.

Human bodies, and their digestive/nutrient absorption processes are complex biochemical processes, and cannot be approximated by a bomb calorimeter. In other words, there is no such thing as calories in/calories out because the action of the endocrine system and the resident body's response to these hormones (most notably leptin and insulin) determines whether energy is used or stored.

And eating processed carbohydrate heavy garbage is a one-way trip to diabetes type-II town.
Also known as, where I was sitting three years ago... pre-diabetic, fat and miserable.
