> [@Lobsang](#): > > Yes, but feeling full and feeling satisfied are not the same. I don’t think eating a bag of carrots is going to give me the same pleasure rush as eating half a packet of chocolate chip cookies. And that’s how people get fat. I mean, I’ve been going through phases myself. My usual fast food meal is a large combo with an extra small burger or chicken sandwich on the side. That’s what I feel like I need to satisfy me for lunch or dinner. When I (briefly) started working out, I made myself stop eating so much, and after a while a single burger and fries were quite enough to satisfy me, because my body realized it didn’t need all that crap. Of course, then I dropped the ball and I’m back up to eating unhealthy like that. I try to limit the damage by only eating two meals a day, but that’s not working well. Point is, if you ignore the cookies and focus on the carrots, eventually the carrots will satisfy. ---

Just thinking while I’m riding on the bus about the last time I had sex isn’t going to give me the same pleasure rush as masturbating right there, either, but I don’t stick my hand down my jeans and go to it. ---

I’d rather those extra seats be taken up by fat people than taken up by people with repulsive personalities. I think the fatties deserve the extra ‘share’ a lot more. ---

Because fatties are automatically great people, right? I wonder if it’s linked to the same gene that makes all retards sweet, too. ---

I’m offended. No way in HELL would I drink a Diet Coke. I mean, gross. But in fairness to the remarks about your picture, you’re not fat and people remarking about what a fat ass you have are just being rude and inflammatory, in my opinion. Granted, your body would look a teensy bit better with my face than yours, but fate is cruel and I \<3 Oreos. Anyway, I’m looking forward to your pittings of people with children in public spaces, people who smell offensive and people who drive like maniacs/ski/smoke/drink/dance/don’t get enough sleep/have kids/etc. and up our health insurance premiums. Keep fighting the good fight, sugar. _insert revolution fist here_ > [@](#): > > Just thinking while I’m riding on the bus about the last time I had sex isn’t going to give me the same pleasure rush as masturbating right there, either, but I don’t stick my hand down my jeans and go to it.

Hey, guys, I just walked out into the street and punched some fruit vendor who used an apostrophe wrong in his sign. But you really can’t blame me, because that kind of language misuse pisses me off way more than your average person. You just don’t understand how \*hard \*it is! ---

Three important points: 1: I agree that fat folks who hate being fat need to shut up about it or fix it. 2: It’s the internet; calling someone an asshole means you’re actually a fucking retard and should smash your computer. 3: **ShotFromGuns** would probably be allowed to touch my penis. **TacoLoco** may not, because he reminds me of that neighbor guy from American Beauty. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > I’d like to see you explain [THIS](http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html) away as something outside your control. 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.) > > Tell me again about how your genetics make you fat–if you can get words out past the cheeseburger you’re shoving into your mouth. Maybe if you take a couple gulps of that giant Diet Coke, it’ll help. Looks to me like voting conservative makes you fat.
