It's true.  What I can't stand is seeing an obese mother feeding her obese child a happy meal at McDonald's and then giving them a McFlurry and an apple pie.  LIke you can just hear the kid getting fatter.
Don't get me wrong, my family eats fast food from time to time, but NONE of us are overweight, and we don't make it a daily habit.  It's really disgusting to know that people out there just don't exert ANY type of control over what they consume.

I think people already know that McDonald's is unhealthy, and that frying everything is unhealthy and that candy and soda will make you fat.  I think they just don't care enough about themselves or their families to change.  They want to play the victim, and make it be "society's" fault that they are fat.

BTW, I sell health insurance, and fat people cannot purchase individual major medical health insurance.  The insurance companies will decline them based on their BMIs.  It's so sad when I have a young girl on the phone who is 5'2" and 250 lbs, and I have to be the one to tell her "No sweetie, you're too short for your weight.  you can't purchase this product".  Insurance companies KNOW that being fat means health problems, and they won't take you on if you're already overweight.

Economics play a large role as well, we are at the point that it is simply more cost effective to goto the mcdowls and pick up a 99cent burger than go to the store and pick up some veggies, for a poor person with children it can be even harder.

And also thanks for reminding me why i fucking hate cocksucker insurance companies and why its such a poor option for us as a nation.

Original Message A foul-mouthed New Zealand surgeon has been reprimanded after swearing at a severely obese patient.

A 44-year-old mother filed a complaint about the doctor after a tense consultation with him last year, The New Zealand Herald reports.

The doctor said f--- at least three times to the Maori woman after she told him she didn't like the word "diet" and preferred the term "lifestyle".

He told her she was, "going on a f---ing diet".

In the letter of complaint, the woman wrote: "[The doctor] said if I couldn't handle the word diet then he challenged my motivation and stated that I would never survive surgery because I was still bullshitting myself and therefore my thinking was still f---ed".

In response to the woman's concerns, the doctor said they no longer had a "therapeutic relationship" and scratched her from the gastric bypass waiting list.

New Zealand's Health and Disability Commissioner, Ron Paterson, said the doctor, who admitted using bad language, had been unprofessional and insulting.
