Mine is entirely down to me, my character,life experiences and my weaknesses

I don't agree with this report in one of its key findings which is that obesity is down to society not the individual.

Whilst yes people have sedentary lifestyles, there is a lot of fast food available and a lack of time etc it still, to my mind, a matter for the individual

I agree...the government makes people eat loads of junk food and is forcing them to be lazy slobs. I am also quite sure there is someone moving people's pie arm towards their mouth constantly.

PUT THE FORK DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE CAKE

Adam, whilst I don't really want to get involved in specifics it isn't as easy as that for a lot of people

http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20030527-000010.html

gives one quick overview of some of the complications involved.

you can be guaranteed a new tax is on the way....

For almost the entire time humans have been on this planet, we've lived in an almost constant state of famine - not knowing when the next food will be found. This meant we developed an urge to eat as much as we can when food is available. Only relatively recently has food been so plentiful that we haven't had to hunt it/kill it/forage for it ourselves. Combine this with the fact that all that hunting/foraging was good exercise and that most people don't even do any manual labour at all anymore and it's no wonder that Britain is full of people who can only wonder at what their feet look like.

For experts to say that obesity is not the individual's fault is, frankly, mind-boggling, and is a further sign that the real threat to British society is the Government backed drive to absolve the population of responsibility for their actions.

The welfare state is there for those who try and fail at life, not for those who don't try.

Admittedly there are some conditions that make losing weight a very hard thing to do, but for most people, a little willpower, excersise and a good diet will enable them to lose weight.

4 months before my 18th birthday I was just over 18 stone, on my birthday I was 11.5 stone.

Due to being free of Nicotine for over 12 weeks now I have put on a little weight, but by putting my mind to it I should be able to lose it again.

 ;iagree;

Its not my fault, i blame the local chinese / local indian / local cake shop / Mr Kipling / Neighbourhood ice cream man for all making food that makes me obese taste so nice!! :D

My weakness is not so much the food, but lack of excercise. I spend most of my day sitting down ie in a car, at my desk and my outside interests include sitting in a cinema, theatre, sitting in front of my pc, playing poker etc.
i make a token gesture at excercise and the odd game of golf/squash but I have decided to bite the bullet and sign up for classes or a fitness trainer, basically some way of pushing me in the right direction.
Also to stop making excuses like I will wait until after my holiday or after christmas etc there is allways another excuse around the corner.

you could always go on  tv game shows like "the krypton factor" and "gladiators" instead of "the weakest link" and "eggheads"!!

 ;whistle;

Now Ed on "Takeshi's Castle" or that new "Ninja Warrior" would be classic TV !

I love takeshi's castle, but don't think my body would be up to it. Especilaly the rollers game.
At least you didn't mention Celebrity fat club.  :D

lol..but be honest..you wouldn't say no, would you?

it's not the individual's fault?

Who's fault is fat kids ?

Regards

Amphetamines?

There is a reason for that...

He just shaved the beard off - 6.5 stones right there.

No, high intake of Caffeine, very reduced Salt and virtually no fat intake.

Behave, the Beard is only 2.24 stones.

Do monkeys eat fast food?

I am overweight and it is certainly my own fault, blaming it on how society is, is just a cop out.

No.  :D

I think this is the key word and whether you think people are born with a lack of it or simply choose not to utilise it.

You'd probably be the most famous celebrity on it!  :)

don't encourage him!! :D

FYP

What about the kids from under privilidged backgrounds whose parents cant afford fresh fruit, veg etc and rely heavily on ready meals / frozen dinners, frozen vegetables etc cos they are cheaper? Is it their fault?

ready meals are NOT cheaper than fresh fruit and veg

those parents are lazy arse morons who quite obviously don't comprehend the concept of "looking at the prices on the box". Fresh food is cheaper and always has been.

Blah, that silly "but some people don't have enough money to buy fresh" excuse is doing my head in.

It aint rocket science, although it took me a lot of years to realise ... But, I have worked out that if i eat pies and chips and cakes, I put weight on ... If i dont eat them, I lose weight. It ereally is that simple.

And for once I agree with Adam, PUT DOWN THE FORK AND STEP AWAY FROM THE CAKE !! :)


Or how about the obese bloke that went to the doctors and asked for an operation to help him lose weight ... The doc chopped off his legs !!   The patient asked how that will make him lose weight ??  The Doc says, it will stop you walking to the bloody fridge !!

fresh veg ( and meat or fish to go with it) cheaper than ready meals?????

no chance

definitely

familiy of 4
weeks worth of carrots, under £1
weeks worth of spuds, under £1
weeks worth of broccoli, under £1

chicken for 3 meals £5
mince for 1 meal £1

etc

LMAO ... when was the last time you went shopping  !!!

A weeks worth ... soz mate, you are miles off with that one.

weeks worth of all that, mmmmmmm that would be FRESH by day 6/7

what about the meat / fish to go with it?

week full of frozen food under a tenner for family of 4.

Probably £30 - £40 for proper dinners.

i shop every week for MY familiy Kev, and I'm spot on

and you freeze the meat the day you buy it, so of course it's fresh when you eat it

morrisons or asda, depends on traffic in town

Mate you must have 1 carrot and one spud each, cos you cannot feed a family of 4 with veg for a week for £3 quid.

kids are quite small, I'll grant you

but around 20£ is feasible..food only of course.

i'm just big boned...

cough cough..

oooooh r u ok? thats a nasty cough...i have some vics, shall i rub some on your chest...?x

Is cheap chicken OK to eat? Pumped full of antibiotics, free range chickens live in their own shit packed into huge barns, have seen at least 2 TV shows about this but organic chicken is now £10 for 2 breasts in my local Tescos.

Asked this on another forum and got laughed at "of course it's fine to eat"  :dontask:

mainly, it's that cheap because its bogof most of the time

Whole medium chicken is £2.99 in Asda.

a chicken that can read your fortune for under £3.

bargain

I knew you'd say that.
































My chicken told me.

Who the effin hell has the right to use the word fault in this thread.............FAULT...........like somebody is guilty of something

fault noun 1 a weakness or failing in character

please if anybody can prove to me I have a weakness or failing in character that is any bigger than their own they are welcome to come and talk to me about it and I will show them why it is THEIR FAULT that my fist is in their face.

Society continues down this road of turning us all into politically correct judgemental bar stewards. Don't fall into it

Kind regards

bit on the aggressive side there.

wow, you must be pretty tough for a fat guy!
:)

I blame all the additives in his takeaway curries.

Phil Cooklin aggresive???????? I've seen it all now!!!!!!

Go on Phil!

So it's -

"Phat" = Good

"Fat" = Bad

so is snat going to be giving out phat lips or fat lips?
