Love can be cruel, I think we should call it the "Lust and Dating" forum. The sad thing is that I'm just as unflexible as anyone else when it comes to size, I get used to the way people look, but I can't get used to someone being bigger than me. Its ironic because us AS guys hate the way we get written off, yet we do the same thing without so much as a pause for how it would make someone feel.
Obesity isn't a neurological disorder that you're born with. It's a lifestyle choice. There's no need for it. So it's not an equivalency.
Don't want to be obese? Don't eat so much junk and do more exercise.
Of course there's PCOS and other disorders that can affect weight in women. Depression can make it hard to lose weight because you have no motivation and food is a comfort, but by and large the majority of Britains eat too much of the wrong food and drink too much alcohol and don't exercise enough.
A lot of people don't have a clue about what the difference even is between healthy and junk food, because food companies mislead people all over the place, all the time.
And it's not just about eating too much junk food, but portion sizes. A lot of people don't have much of a clue about that either. I'm just talking from...well, talking to people about food generally. People are
very uneducated when it comes to food.
The Japanese eat small portions. Their snacks and sweets are a lot smaller too, and are often wrapped individually (helping portion control). I think the West could learn a lot from them. Or just from looking into our past, because this country used to eat smaller portions too.
