The Rise Of The Fatty
For all the talk about QE this, HFT that, crony capitalism, cold war 2.0, hyperinflation, hyperdeflation, social inequality, Keynesian dead end, global financial meltdown, perhaps the one more tangible threats to mankind as a whole (and to the future underfunded healthcare costs) is something fatr simpler: the rise of the fatty.
Below we present a candied look via Nature of, pardon the pun, society at large, and just why is it that those cuddly, jovial fat people, which seems to be growing exponentially in recent years, present a great danger not only to themselves, but to just as exponentially growing welfare costs in a world which already is, for all intents and purposes, insolvent (unless of course someone in charge gets a Swiftian idea to let the world's obese deal with their own problems just the way Charles Darwin suggested they should).
They are everywhere.
They don't fit on the scale.
A lot of their problems can be explained by the surge in cheap, hollow calories.
But the bottom line is they are a danger: to themselves, and to those others who will be tasked to pay for their care.

A little self-discipline and responsibility for paying your own medical bills would solve a lot of this "fatty" problem.
Is "obesity" and its related complications grounds for receiving SSI?
We must remember "working is the curse of the obesity class, the drug-sucking class, and the alcoholic class".
re The problem in the USA, is too much...too much COW and LAMB
Agreed. The last time time I was in the S. Korea I had an excellent dish of deep-fried Chihuahua garnished with dollops of steamed monkey-brain.
Apart from little Tinkerbell staring up at me from the bamboo basket- in what disconcertingly looked like a contorted macabre death-grin - it was a truly memorable feast.
Cant wait to try the broiled Shih Tzu!
(Sorry to hear about the 'rhoids - try this on for size: fill a regular donut with a generous helping (at least 1 tblspoon) of Preparation H and fix in place using an around the scrotum sling ;)
Future biodiesel. More fat=more fuel.
The protein that's left goes to produce Soylent Green.
Bones get ground up for fertilizer.
The Soylent Corporation - proudly serving humanity (as fuel, food and fertilizer)
This could be subtitled, "Rise of the 'Handicapped' placard"
But hey, the increase in production and use of wheat, meat, corn syrup etc. is/was good for big agribusiness, commodity traders, producers of pesticides and fertilizers, big pharma, insurers, etc.
And eventually big business for undertakers. It is good for everybody except you. But you have a choice.
Rise of the fatty my arse. Yanks have always been fat. Its the outward expresson of a corpulent society. One that will very soon get a rude awakening. Fatty's gonna be walking soon. Guess they are the modern day camels storing their reserves for when the foodlines begin.

Looks like photo-guy is riding around wearing the bottom half of Hillary's pants-suit.
A symptom of the times we live in.
Big corporate needs more customers dependent on them and government.
Free cheap food and free medicine and medical care for the Dependant, all supplied by corporate and paid for by printing money.
This situation did not exist when people had to fend for themselves. We have moved from the horrors of the "Grapes of Wrath" to the free lunch.
If toliets could talk. OH NO, NOOOOO.
Earle! Bring me mah diet-sized cheezy-poof flavarred pork rahnds!
Yee-haw, Imma goin' on a diet!
Hate the fat bastard who's ass is eating the scooter, hate the kids who are too lazy to get out of the basement, hate the black/brown/yellow/red piece of shit whos bringing down the neighborhood, hate the worthless old fucks who raised the lazy kids and spent the last 100 years fucking up the world but whatever you do don't see that banker elbow deep in your wallet getting a blowjob from your senator who's getting a reach around from your representative......
Be the guillotine
".... but whatever you do don't see that banker elbow deep in your wallet getting a blowjob from your senator who's getting a reach around from your representative".
Sportsguychestbump!!
From the pic,it looks like he is "cruzin'" a rib cook off! He could probably polish off 3-4 racks o' ribs before lunch! Looks like he has a pint of Mountain Dewwww also! Good choice!
I used to live in Nevada and probably 30% of the old folks had Oxygen bottles (because of heavy smoking and / or emphysema), and Hoveround go carts. That is about the only thing he is missing!
my zen master of years ago said:" no work, no food." kinda harsh for these times, he lived thru WWII in Japan, he understood hardship, but also understood the basis of a working society.
working with morbid obese today, we must understand, the fatter you are the less able you are to burn calories..
joints cannot support the weight, you become weak and bed/chair bound, yet obese continue doing the one thing they can, eat.
do anyone you know a favor, and stop them before they get like the guy in picture, he cannot be helped without drastic starvation methods, most here would consider inhumane and is not without medical risk,
"A lot of their problems can be explained by the surge in cheap, hollow calories'.
That's like saying deaths in hood are caused by guns, that accidents are explained by cars, and politics is caused by the Constitutution.
These are spurious if not outright ridiculous claims.
Leaving out the obesity caused by malfunctioning physical problems, obesity is caused by human beans.
That guy could well be unwilling to control his appetite. For sure he is mentally ill.
I have about 20 lbs I want to lose. I am average for my height, but I just feel a whole lot better at 165. My problem in losing those pounds is my unwillingness to give up the 4 necessary food groups: Chocolate, Cake, Ice Cream and cookies.
I know that if I stop consuming just 3200 calories per week of those delicious treats. I would be back to 165 by September.
The only barrier in my way is my tongue, which so thoroughly enjoys that sugar taste. ( if it came to potato chips, pretzels and other salty tastes i wouldn't have a problem at all).
With a simple herb or drug that could mute the taste buds, or better yet turn that taste to something obnoxious, everytime I reached for candy bar, my weight and that of everyone else trying to lose, but will not exercise the will to do it, would drop like Bill's pants in a room with an intern.
Until that day comes, I have opted for my new invention which I am having trouble getting funding for on "Kick Start.com".
It consists of a product I call the "Tongue Condom". It is pulled onto the tongue for twenty weeks, everytime the urge comes to bite into a Keebler Original Chocolate chip cookie, or Pecan Sandy, or a Hot Fundae from Dairy Queen, or the biggest bargain on the planet, the Twirl at Costco.
This is the beta version so I will have to see how it performs b 4 I bring it to market.
Survival of the fittest no longer applies ... so long as the .gov ponzie is alive.
Fuck the fat people....may they all blow up like the fucking Hindenberg
The dirty little secret is food intake (what and how much) and lack of exercise is the primary cause of obesity world wide.
Heaven forbid you tell a fatty to quit eating and start moving...
I manage call centers where the obese can still get jobs. Desks usually have 2 liter sodas and candy bars nearby. Chairs break with regularity. We have had several employees die on the job over the years. Burst aortas.
Under 40, 300-400 lbs or more is no way to go through life.
But suggesting they change their life style might get us a sued by Clapp, Hanz and Singh.
OMG! Fat zombies,,,
Great shades of Wall-E,,,
We're going to have to replace all the hospital gurneys with super heavy duty ones,,,
All the world's cotton will go into their underwear,,,
Sex must be an exhausting task,,,
Honda had to redesign the seats in their cars for the N. American market,,,
Now I'm all depressed, I'm going to go eat a cheeseburger, no, make that three,,,
...and a half gallon of ice cream.
god is a malicious pervert. She give us this bounty, a tongue with at trillion taste buds on it, relatively inexpensive monetary cost, and then when we overindulge to feed the addiction we have permitted to control us, we get unhealthy and unsightly.
On top of that she makes the plants that are so damned good for our health just as inexpensive, or more so, taste like chalk, smell like garbage (when have you ever smelled a Bad donut, cookie, ice cream or Aunt Martha's Cherry Pie or a Sausage, pepperoni, black olive and mushroom pizza?) and give you flatlulence. And what's with asparagus that turns your pee break into chemical experiment gone bad?
the beauty of it is that he was able to get that fat just from handouts. ss disability, food stamps, even that scooter was paid for by the taxpayer i bet. this man is an owebombacare wet dream. consuming millions of dollars in resources and contributing nothing. he will have a staff of highly trained professionals wiping his ass some day. and the best thing is that he makes and spends multiples of what half the working class in america make. #WINNING! pure idiocracy in motion. when the time comes and he wants to have kids but is unable to do things the natural selection route the taxpayer will pay for a hand job and artificial insemination too.

That's just screaming for a post-grad degree.
Massive hunger in some parts of the wrold. Massive fatties in other parts, taxing the system. What can be done?
Sugar, modern wheat strains, high fructose, alcohol, overindulgence and inactivity, all trappings of the western corporate civilization. Where will GMO fit in? No nutrition of course, GMO just looks like wholesome food. Food with unsavory genetics, grown despite blocked nutrient uptake I should add.
In steps the gubermunt and, batta bing, obesity is a disability. Then it's "Oh, woe is me, I'm disabled.", pass the snicker doodles and plug in the hoverround..
I was almost run over in an aisle in Target yesterday. I had to literally hug the wall while these two women in scooters (neither of which were as obese as the man in the picture) tried to negotiate passing each other.
A lot of complaining here but few know the real process by which obesity has become epidemic.......its a form of drug addiction.
The vast, vast majority of "food like" things found in groceries stores are manufactured out of refined carbohydrates with very little fat, protein, or fiber, but plenty of sugar in its many forms. Eat that crap and the first thing that happens is your blood sugar shoots up. The second thing that happens is that your insulin level shoots up to reduce circulating blood sugar. Its the third thing that happens that is the key. Rapid releases of insulin cause simultaneous release of serotonin.
Serotonin is the feel good chemical. Its the primary target of most anti-depressants. Obese and overweight people are medicating themselves as a way to deal with stress. Then it becomes habit and addiction.
Medical researchers have known about this linkage for over 40 years but are helpless in the face of the food industry. About 90% of what you see groceries stores is pure crap.......don't eat it. America's food industry is responsible for more misery than all of the Columbian drug lords put together.

Whenever I see one of these "fattys" driving a hover around first reaction - Get-up and walk.
BUT from the ones I have known it is primarily depression that causes these people to eat, eat , eat and eat plus wash all the processed crap down with 2L of Mountain Dew.
Self-medicating themselves to death??
It's not calories that are making people fat ... the body is not a calorie bank or a calorie burning machine ... it's a chemestry lab. It's what they put in their mouth, the type of food that counts. "Empty calories" is about as close as words can get to describing the crap that passes as food, devoid of nutrition while reaking havoc on the metabolism and endecrine system. Cheap poison is good politics.
This is so typical of government services. They institute them supposedly to help some segment of the society and get some other segment of society to pay for it.
The result: The segment getting helped gets worse. The segment paying (the responsible ones without the problem) just keeps paying more as the first segment gets worse.
Having seen this for every single government help program instituted, doesn't it seem reasonable for the government to take one of two alternative tacks?
1) Stay out of it altogether (my personal preference)
or
2) Since helping the afflicted by taking from the responsible makes the afflicted condition worse, try the opposite: Take from the afflicted and give to the responsible. Should make the afflicted's condition improve ... simple logic.
two points for society at large... MA! What aisle is the Cheez Whiz on?
You must all sacrifice to provide for the fat fucks of the world. Whatever it takes. The parasites need you to understand that their lives are more important and valuable than yours. Sacrifice. Sacrifice. Sacrifice.
