Fat People Eat More – New research on weight and behavior.
Somebody likes Chinese buffets!
Buffet Behavior: The Science of Pigging Out »LiveScience
In the ongoing saga of fat people versus healthy people, a groundbreaking new study from Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab has exposed the big fat truth about obesity. Fatties who cling to the notion of an obese gene will likely be forced to find new arguments to counter such scientifically-backed accusations as:
- “You are fat because you take a bigger plate at the buffet“
- “You are overweight because you chew less and thereby eat more in less time.”
- “You are an obese cow because you don’t care what you eat, you just start shoveling crap into your gaping maw.”
- “Your pants don’t fit because of your fat ass.”
Fat people, overeating is a function of behavior, and yes, you can control that. Stop pigging out and make some lifestyle adjustments that truly help you and your fellow citizens (especially if you live in Canada), not to mention lighten the load on the US health care system.
and how, pray tell, will the svelte respond to accusations of overt hostility?

Hard to say. Probably by drowning their sorrows in mountains of food?
It would be nice if some of the fatties out there would man-up and respond right here at TSJ.

It’s true that it’s a genetic disease that makes these people fat. They seem to be, alas, born without the power of will to put down the fork and pick up the dumbbells or the running shoes. Is this any different than a genetic defect which makes your body store more fat?
P.S. It just so happens that I’m writing this comment with a huge bowl of cookie dough (my breakfast) in front of me haha…

[...] leave a comment » It has recently come to my attention that The Bruce is in fact quite prideful and does certainly advance his agenda in a loud and boisterous fashion with little regard for those around him. While TSJ enthusiasts may be able to confirm or deny this fact, our newer readers may need some help understanding precisely what I mean – here are some examples: Your pants don’t fit because of your fat ass.” »Fat People Eat More – New research on weight and behavior [...]
