Um, those “quotation marks” would be _asterisks_. Denoting “emphasis”.

This thread is comedy gold.

Naked pics of the OP would put it on another level entirely.

What baffles me about the “fat debate” is that, David Kessler’s \*The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite \* was a best seller in the US. Kessler makes it plain that people in Western society no longer eat out of hunger, they eat because they are conditioned to eat.

I can’t believe that anyone can read it and not be disgusted by the modern food industry. Nor can I understand that they don’t know why they overeat.

I’m sure a few years from now pigging out on shit food food will be seen in the same light as smoking - an addictive behaviour encouraged by big business. I can remember when the first anti-smoking campaigns seemed like quaint, puritan hand waving that wouldn’t gain any momentum. Food and alcohol are next.

Nice try. I have a thyroid condition and I’m not fat.\* I _could_ be fat if I ate a ton of food and never exercised, but the thyroid condition on it’s own just doesn’t do it.

It will have to be some other mythical ailment that will make the OP fat despite her self control about food and regular exercising. (I’m really interested to know what that would be, actually).

\*Well, currently, I’m somewhat fat. Mostly I have no waist and the girls are getting out of control.

BTW (sorry for the double post - I’m much too slow), I assume that all of you who are slagging off the OPs looks, for making fun of other peoples’ looks, will be posting your own pic shortly. **nyctea** , I assume you’ll be first. I’m anxious to see your slim thighs and tiny bottom.

Pegged as a guy… hmm, yes.

Getting that “Twilight Zone” feeling again, but… am I REALLY the only one who, based on the one photo, isn’t entirely convinced? I mean, fool me once, shame on… shame on me…

The state with the lowest rate of obesity in 2008 has a higher rate than the state with the highest rate in 1985. (Yes, there are states with no data in the earlier graphs, but as those are added in, they start at the lower levels and then increase, suggesting that they probably started at those same levels or lower, versus dramatically dropping then rising again.)

Much of this thread is a hijack by those 2 nimrods going back and forth. As far as I can tell, it’s because **Sleeps** is obsessed by **Claude** ’s alleged paedophilia. It’s threadjacking pure and simple.

I don’t get why I’m being attacked here. The OP is being a heartless dick about overweight people. I’m trying to defend the reasons many, _not all_ fat people get fat.

I’m not saying the unhappy-about-being-fat fat people are blaming something other than themselves. And I resent the over-simplification of the points I’m trying to make.

These people know they are fat because of themselves. But ‘themselves’ could be weak-willed, always hungry, never satisfied by normal meal sizes, and I sympathise with someone who has to go through life feeling that way and I understand that they will give in to the cravings.

I am just saying that many fat people have different psychology than a typical thin person who isn’t always craving food.

Awww you’re cute. Obsessed huh? Ever since I mentioned it he cannot seem to stop coming back for more, sometimes posting two or three times after I’ve posted just so he can keep it going. Purely entertainment for me, but I appreciate your concern. And alleged paedophilia? I’m not saying he _has_ touched a child, but he certainly wasn’t shy about describing in graphic detail what [his dreams are about](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12087271&postcount=92).

If that is what obsession is in your neck of the woods, things must be very interesting in your household. So yes, me making a joke about it and him continually coming back for more after I’ve stopped means that I am obsessed. You, sir, are ready to hang your shingle next to [Lucy and charge five cents for your professional opinion](http://kickinthepeanuts.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/peanuts-lucy-psychiatrist.png).
