it might do more good than you think.
not only will they be forced to walk the entire lot they will think twice about getting those twinkies.
And if they are unable to walk, but need to use a wheelchair? Or if they simply aren't able to walk that far? What then? Discriminate against them for being "fat" and tell them if they can't walk to the food tough titties? What if their doctor is in the mall? Deny them the ability to visit their physician because you think fat people should simply walk it off?
My my, aren't you a caring individual. Hey I know! Maybe you can use a taser on them each time they try to eat something.
i honestly believe they consume more calories than they burn.
can you deny that?
Some might. Some might not do so willingly or knowingly. As I stated before, if the hypothalamus is somehow damaged, the individual may not be able to tell they are full or that their body has consumed enough and they can keep on eating. But no matter how much they eat, they will never feel full due to the neurological damage they may have suffered in the past. Do you think they are to blame? After all, when you and I eat, we know when we're full and we stop. But some people don't have that luxury. The result can lead to morbid obesity. You may think it's easier to just blame them for being greedy or eating too much, but they have absolutely no control over it. They cannot tell when their body has had enough and needs to burn off that energy. But hey, you just punish them for something they have no control over if it makes you feel better.
For example, people with Cushing's Disease can suffer from morbid obesity due to the increased excretion of the cortisol by the adrenal gland. Cortisol helps regulate how the body metabolises proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They have absolutely no control over it.
ever hear of hormone replacement therapy?
Does not always work and sometimes it is diagnosed too late. So you wish to blame that on the patient as well?
i'm sorry bells but i have no problem with calling a pig a pig.
wanna feel sorry for me cause i choke my head off and smoke 2 packs a day?
Do you suffer from a genetic disorder which has resulted in your smoking? No. And how nice of you to refer to someone who is sick and could possibly die from their disease, a pig. You're just full of compassion aren't you?
Do you think someone who has a genetic disorder is a pig? Oh yeah wait, for you if they just eat too much, they're a pig right? Too bad if their body simply cannot break down the foods properly due to their genetic disposition. Too bad if they suffer from a disease such as asthma and have to be put on steroid treatment and that has resulted in their gaining weight and becoming obese.. they're just a pig right?
there is one and only one reason for obesity and i stated it at the begining.
Really? All I saw was a complete lack of understanding and education on the matter. You just think they ate too much and are pigs. It's a shame you have refused to even acknowledge that some obese people have no control over their metabolic rate or they may be suffering from an illness whose medication results in their gross weight gain, or they may suffer from a genetic disorder. You simply equate fat with eating too much and leave it at that. You think making them walk that little bit extra will make them lose weight when it will not. More power too you.
