Hello people!

I'm overweight too, i am 5'1" and i weight 215 pounds... I think is true to be fat is to be sick... I'm trying so hard to loose
weight, but i love myself, and i know i am very well educated... I am smart, cute, and so proud of myself... I am so sad of those who said that fat people are not educated and blah blah blah... You don't even know what you saying, i bet that what i have of fat you have of idiot... everybody has a thousands defect so firstable see yourself in a mirror! You do not know what can happen tomorrow… Hopefully that God does not punish you with something worse!

I agree! Statistically most overweight people are in the South and Midwest, and the thinner ones on the east coast. Need I say more? The east coast is by far more educated, intelligent, and thin!
Highest IQ's by state:

Connecticut 113
Massachusetts 111
New Jersey 111
New York 109
Rhode Island 107
New Hampshire 105
Maine 100
Vs.
Tennessee 94
Arkansas 92
Georgia 92
Kentucky 92
Texas 92
Alabama 90
Louisiana 90
South Carolina 89
Mississippi 85

Can you say "Southern Slow"?

More than a quarter of adults in these 10 states were obese. Those states are:
Mississippi 29.5%
Alabama: 28.9%
West Virginia: 27.6%
Tennessee: 27.2%
Louisiana: 27%
Arkansas: 26.1%
Kentucky: 25.8%
Texas: 25.8%
Indiana: 25.5%

We're getting fatter too... but not as bad.
Massachusetts: 18.4%
Connecticut: 19.7%
Montana: 19.7%
Rhode Island: 19%
Vermont: 18.7%
Colorado: 16.8%

Percent of population with Bachelors Degree or higher

Massachusetts 35.8
Colorado 34.7
Connecticut 34.6
Maryland 34.5
Virginia 32.2
New Jersey 32.1
Vermont 32
New Hampshire 30.3

Least Educated (Percent with Bachelor's degree or higher)
Tennessee 21.5
Louisiana 21.3
Alabama 21.2
Indiana 21
Nevada 19.5
Arkansas 19
Mississippi 18.7
Kentucky 18.6
West Virginia 17

These are just facts guys. "Fat states" are less educated, poorer, and less globally aware.

95% of the time obese people are obese simply because they eat too much crap and they are too lazy to change their habits.

There's never been a more poignant time in history when the power of the almighty dollar counts. We're a nation of excess, and it's starting to show in ALL OF US. Those with natural tendencies toward thinness are just as vulnerable to the weight-gain trend as anyone. Our food industry is giving us what we want: high fat, salt, and sugar in everything we eat.
Perhaps we need to unite as consumers and demand healthier choices at reasonable costs. And less advertising!

FAT = sick

why are poor people heavier? That's an easy one: white rice and white pasta and white bread are cheaper than whole grain products and less nutritious. A kettle of ghoulash or macaroni & cheese lasts longer than a "one serving" each type of meal and is less nutritious. Cheap burger is fattier than ground round or sirloin and less nutritious. Cornflakes are cheaper than whole grain cereals and less nutrious. Everything cheap is limited in nutrition and full of salt and preservatives.. No wonder poor people are fat and less healthy!

Fat haters are jerks. Quit hatin' on me because I'm different from you.

I am not stupid. My IQ is 140. I am not lazy, either. I've been discriminated against in the office for being fat. It's people like you that think fat people are unintelligent who are always speaking down to me, talking about me behind my back.

Discrimination = poor, not fat

i don't see why we're always criticing others opinions like "Fuck you" or "your article was a load". seriously, whats the point, it's just there to make you reconsider your views of the world. another thing what's with being so pc about everything, you feel bad for a group you don't belong to, and in truth it's just to make yourself feel better.
I'm fat and lazy, and i'm certainly a far way from stupid, and yet i take no offense from this. there's truth in everything you just have to look for it.

some are fat, some are thin... I'm thin and I hate to get my ass kicked by a fat person for being insensitive. They tend to be able to just "toss you around". I think there are too many factors involved to call one correct. Genetics, ignorance ( I state ignorance, not stupidity; there is a difference), laziness, etc... and in each variable there are more variables. I don't like the gym but I walk to work about a mile and a half in the mornings while many of my friends drive from closer yet hit the gym 3 + times a week. Who's lazy? Peace, y'all

Why is there so much hate towards fat people? i few moments ago i was reading this article and gosh i have never heard so much hate from anyone in my life!. By the way im 15 and like in the uk and no i am not fat but thts not the point. I cant believe people can be so mean! i was really shocked when i read that, i could read all of it i was to upset by it. I dont mean to sound all defencive but i just think that is really tight, and i no you guys didnt say it, but... . I know things may be different in the USA than from England, but people over here do not display as much hate or anger towards overweight people as in the US. I understand that the USA may have more fat people and have to tolerate them more, but its the principals. I understand that people may feel diferently about it than me, as everyone has there own opinions, but this is an issue very close to my heart and this is my view so i am going to fight for it. And ( i know you cannot start a sentence with and but anyway) if people do want to share there views then please do, but before you do please think about what you are going to say and the effect it might cause. If you were an overweight person reading it, what would you feel like?. I am not saying that i am all for fat people, i agree that they are not aesthetically pleasing to look at but the way in which i address them is different. After all we are all humans. O.k you people reading this might be thinking what on earth am i taking about this is a load if shit,thats ok i dont mind. At least you guys had the time to read this, and make me think that maybe i might have made a difference. Even if i only got one person to think about the wat they treat overweight people. Please just think before you write. Thankyou
