^^ before he was elected President

9/16/2012 6:36:59 PM

Something that doesn't even need a dumb captioned picture...

What about him and his wife's eating habits when supposedly their mission (or her mission) is childhood obesity and healthy eating?

9/16/2012 7:05:04 PM

god forbid people advocate healthier eating

9/16/2012 7:12:12 PM

mitt romney does not like Hispanic people

9/16/2012 7:16:57 PM

Advocating it in-between mouthfuls of baby back ribs isn't exactly going to inspire the populace.

9/16/2012 7:20:47 PM

really looking forward to not seeing your insane drivel after the election

9/16/2012 7:22:54 PM

This is chit chat, btw.

Do you have no rebuttal for the Obamas' hypocrisy?

Sounds like you're about to throw a tantrum to me.

9/16/2012 7:37:36 PM

Nobody needs a rebuttal because you're clearly a child who does not deserve to sit at the adult table.

9/16/2012 7:56:22 PM

Feel free to argue the point that the Obamas don't eat like shit.

9/16/2012 8:15:30 PM

I'm impressed that you've been able to track the president's meals so thoroughly. Actually, https://tips.fbi.gov/ may be getting a few submissions, now that I think about it.

Anyway, you ever heard the phrase "all things in moderation," you ignorant shit?

"Eat as I say, not as I do."

Is that better?

9/16/2012 8:29:53 PM

He seems to work out. If he was fat I would find it suspect.

Nothing wrong with enjoying good food

9/16/2012 8:34:07 PM

complete forgot about the Presidential Order he signed requiring every man, woman, and child to become vegetarians

my bad

9/16/2012 8:36:25 PM

^^Compared to the average American, he's actually startlingly thin. I'm surprised conservatives haven't made more of it.

And even if he and his wife were fat, it would still be appropriate for his wife to encourage healthier eating. (I don't totally like her initiative.)

9/16/2012 8:46:31 PM

Shit Mitt and Ryan seem to be in great shape

You think Christie would have killed it if he ran.

9/16/2012 8:48:56 PM

Yes, I'm sure Richard Simmons' (for example) credibility as a fitness guru wouldn't be completely undermined by his coming on stage with a cheeseburger in hand.

Michelle Obama is a joke.

Any arrests been made in NYC over extra-large drinks yet?



Insane.

9/16/2012 8:51:09 PM

Oh man good Richard Simmons reference!

Bloomberg is an independent now but ran in 2002 as a republican.

9/16/2012 8:54:33 PM

I mean it's fine as long as you don't accept Michelle Obama as credible?

There are plenty of really fat people who know a helluva lot about losing weight, they just simply can't.

By that same measure they could tell you how to lose weight and you easily could.

But they aren't exactly

9/16/2012 9:20:08 PM

9/16/2012 9:24:12 PM

Oh yeah there are so many fat people that know a lot about loosing weight but can't.

Makes complete sense to me.

9/16/2012 9:39:04 PM

You don't think there is a genetic predisposition to being fat?

9/16/2012 9:55:50 PM

well if genetics can make someone as fucking retarded as you, I'm sure it can make someone a fatass too

9/16/2012 9:59:48 PM

Good to see you like Michelle Obama so much.

Feel free to share any other opinions I might not agree with.

9/16/2012 10:01:30 PM

I really have no opinion on Michelle Obama and her health food stuff but being fat means you eat too much.

Some people get fatter faster than others but if you are over weight you did it to yourself.

So I will conclude that you are fat.

9/16/2012 10:05:15 PM

Fundamentally you're attacking me because I voiced the opinion that Michelle Obama is a hypocrite for tackling healthy eating as her personal crusade when her own habits are not different at all from the typical obese American.

She's just an average size in my opinion, and her husband could actually stand to gain a few pounds.

The fact that you only equate fatness with quantity eaten leads me to conclude you're simply not intelligent.

Personally I'd rather be fat than stupid.

9/16/2012 10:10:44 PM

Good luck with that.

[Edited on September 16, 2012 at 10:15 PM. Reason : Also it's called eating in moderation. Maybe you should try it. ]

9/16/2012 10:14:04 PM

y0willy0, you ARE trolling, right? because you and i both know you can't possibly be serious

9/16/2012 10:14:17 PM

Which part exactly is trolling in your opinion?

That I'm not actually seeing a bunch of pictures of Michelle Obama stuffing her face with ribs, bacon, burgers, fries, and ice cream on a regular basis?

That I think this hurts her credibility as a spokesperson for healthy eating in America? Her own personal crusade?

That fat people are genetically predisposed to be fat? Not all of them eat a fucking ton, they just don't process it as efficiently as skinny folks?

That there are plenty of skinny folks that eat a fucking ton and don't exercise at all yet remain skinny?

I'm not saying that fat people don't contribute to their own shitty situation, but most of them have the deck stacked against them from day one.

I think everything I've said here is pretty obvious in everyday life, but I seem to recall another thread on here not too long ago where fat people were demonized in general, so maybe that's just the attitude here.

If you just happen to like Michelle Obama or her anti-fat mission then I'm afraid I can't help you. She's a ridiculous and hypocritical bitch.

9/16/2012 10:25:01 PM

Saying someone who advocates heathly eating is a hypocrite for eating ribs is retarded.

Also the soda ban is dumb and is just Bloomberg being a control freak.

9/16/2012 10:52:39 PM

wait, because I think you're a fucking idiot, that means I must like michelle obama?

hold on a sec - I have a rock here that keeps tigers away...wanna buy it? i've never been attacked since I got it

9/16/2012 10:53:46 PM

Not a lot of Romney hate, here

9/16/2012 10:55:20 PM

Because he's not fat.

9/16/2012 10:57:38 PM

LOL!! give ya a shiny object and y'all go right for it.
He's fat,
She's fat
He's skinny
He's in great shape

Blah, blah, blah....

How about that economy, deficit and all the shit going down in Africa and the middle east?
I can see that Obama has failed.
Time for a new guy.

9/16/2012 11:08:09 PM

No thanks

9/16/2012 11:16:25 PM

What makes you think Romney will do better? The deficit enhancements he will do by cutting taxes? His repeal of Obamacare, modelled after Romneycare, of which he has now said he may keep some of it after promising to repeal it all.

9/16/2012 11:16:51 PM

people who think you can be genetically predisposed to being fat: at what point in our history as a species did we develop the gene that makes us fat no matter what? surely you don't imagine half of a hunter-gatherer population being obese. surely you have to admit that anyone who walked around all day looking for food, and only ate food that they found growing or killed themselves would never be fat. i don't think we've changed all that much as animals since then.

feel free to prove me wrong.

9/16/2012 11:28:59 PM

Maybe the fat people just died?

9/16/2012 11:47:34 PM

Conservobots are doubling down on the stupid! yeah... it's getting fun now.

there's actually a big thing now about it being a problem with fat people's gut bacteria. so it may not be so much that it's THEIR genetics keeping them from losing weight so much as it could have something to do with their bacteria's genetics. there may also be links between gut bacteria and diabetes and autism.

^ a theory which only has the slightest prayer of consistency if the bacteria populations were affected by our lifestyle and diet in the first place.

Actually I would imagine this is exactly the kind of adaptation our ancestors would have. The ability to store what little nutrition they receive for when times are hard.

Now, if this adaptation is abused in modern times, when food is so unhealthy and readily available, add a sedentary lifestyle and of course I could see one's genes working against them. Obviously they too are at fault by doing the exact wrong thing for their particular genetic makeup.

I imagine those folks who remain rail-thin no matter how much they eat or little they do would have had the hardest time during paleolithic times.

I apologize for derailing the Romney thread with a fat-related rant concerning Michelle Obama. This discussion should be moved to:

Rain-thin people like almost the entire nation of Japan in 1990? With their 3.2% obesity rate in 2008, the rate decades before that was literally near nothing.

Or how about South Korea in 2000 versus the US in 2010?



Your evolutionary argument works so well here, you know, because neither Japan nor South Korea experienced severe hunger in the last 400 years (I'm being sarcastic). Just fyi, Japan bumped against horrendous nutritional limitations on a national scale through the last fucking 3000 years. It didn't make them fat today.

I swear to God, no one in any of these threads has even attempted to present a theory that describes obesity prevalence that we see today. They present mechanisms that would describe the presence of obesity THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE MODERN WORLD.

For all you people who disagree with the "energy in, energy out" idea... one graph for you here:

How did this tread turn into fatterhation? ... I don't hate Romney, but, I'm getting tired of easily led people that think the movie "Obama 2016" has any basis in fact ...

^Yeah, I just saw about that too. He had to do a press conference to address it, but basically ran away after 3 questions from clips I saw. Here was my response to it to the Romney meltdown thread over in TSB:

Quote :

"From the Eastwood crazy upstaging fail at their convention, the inappropriate embassy reaction, many Romney campaign advisers coming out now saying the economy debate has failed them and that it's time to turn hard towards socially conservative issues to rally the tea party base instead of reaching the moderates, and now this leaked video, it is starting to feel like a meltdown rather than just a single instance of desperation. Not to mention he's now behind in most polling averages for most swing states."
