http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14669209Parents must take some responsibility.
Kids never used to be driven to school or driven to their friends' houses, they walked.
Kids never used to be stuck in their bedrooms playing computer games, they played out.
Kids were never fed junk food because their parents were too lazy to prepare a meal, all mums could cook.
No wonder there are so many fat kids.
teachers should be allowed to thrash the kids in school, correctional PT as well, that would soon burn off several calories
People are getting lazier.
Simple.
In parents defense, they can't let their kids just wander around to their friends house anymore, because of the murderers and speeding cars wanting to kill them...
There's no excuse for being fat, I realised that and went from fat to thin in 6 months.
true dave, also lads should not wear fake diamond ear studs in both ears.
interesting thread!

How about their uniform - black highly flammable tracksuit with the bottoms tucked into black socks with black trainers, hand down the front of them to check that their small cocks are still there and the obligatory "walk like they've shat themselves".
ive seen an evolution to 2 hands now down the tracksuit pants.
People shouldn't be allowed to give their Birkenhead born and bred kids made up names that sound exotic (Kai, Kia, etc),
Parents should lose a finger everytime they swear in front of their kids (swearing only allowed when mind lost because of barstard feral kids),
Parents who let their kids drop litter (Sayers bags, McDonalds Coke cups, McDonalds Big Mac boxes, Snickers wrappers) should have it pushed up their arseholes,
Parents who have added their kids as friends on Faecesbook and talk LYK DIS ABUT ALL DE SKUNK I FKN SMKED LASS NITE should have the computer keyboard smashed over their heads until all the buttons have ejected.
any c*nt who drops litter should be thrashed to within an inch of their life including perce. not hard to get a grip of kids, some parents cant be arsed doing that too much like hard work plus its easier to let them do what they want to do. as for names im not too fond of star
Makes me laugh when I see fat people on mobility scooters. Wouldn't have obese issues if they got off their lazy arses. They whizz round supermarkets like they are Jenson Button with a heap of junk food on the front basket...
i seen one woman at chester zoo on a scooter, mega fat, ciggie in her mouth smashing a plate of nachos, was more interesting than the animals to watch

To be fair, I don't think the amount of children killed by strangers has changed since the 1950s. Most children are killed by people they know ie family members, family friends etc. I agree about speeding cars though.

It's so depressing. There's no individuality amongst these wannabe hard guys. They all dress the same, talk the same, have the same haircut. Just like little sheep not wanting to stand out from their sad little crowd.

It's about the only sensible thing they do, who would want to stand out from the crowd when you're up to no good, especially when there might be a witness.

i'm fat but its glandular!

operational requirement is it
You bet,that's my exuse and i'm sticking to it!
I'm slim but my body fat isn't too good. It's not just about weight but other things like body fat too. Too many fat fookers about though! Buy a book on nutrition, cook more meals yourselves and get to the gym. Only £28 for unlimited swimming, exercises classes and gyms at Council Leisure Centres. No excuses!!
I watched a program on BBC2 this week called 'The Nine Months'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013ywz4It is new scientific research into how the nutrition that we recieve in the womb during pregnancy can affect our long term health as adults. I found it a really interesting program the fact that people with low birth weights and had mothers who had poor nutrition during pregnancy went on to be more at risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc.
While I found it interesting research I dont think that we are let off the hook.... there are many parents that live near me that simply do not take their children out and about, their kids are either in the house all day or playing in front of the house... they very often use the excuse that they cannot afford to take their children out and that 'everything costs money' what is wrong with making up a packet of sandwhiches and a bottle of juice and walking to the park like I did with mine? The beach and New Brighton promenade are only 5 minutes away from where we live. People just cannot be bothered anymore and we risk breeding a generation of lazy children who will continue the cycle.
There are I believe other factors involved
The food manufacturers are also to blame, the foods that are cheap and readily availible and many 'convenience food items' are nearly always high in fat, salt and sugar, supermarkets are also partly responsible as most of their special offers and promotions are for treat foods biscuits and cakes etc.
Fast food chains like McDonalds which make unhealthy eating cheap...
Schools are at fault too as they are not teaching our children how to cook properly... My son came hokme from school and told me how he had been 'taught to make a sandwhich'!!How many young mothers do we all know that are unable to cook a meal from scratch?
There are some very complicated issues which are contributing to the problem of obesity.
Think it's disgusting that anyone thinks they have the right to come on here & talk about fat people, exactly what do you define as fat?
I'm 5'7 & weigh about 13 stone, I can eat as much as I want & never really seem to put much weight on. Why can't people just live there own lives & leave others to live theirs.
Try joining the happy gang.
Being big isnt eating to much,
The cause could be a gland problem or illness.
On the other hand i used to be a size 22 now down to a size 14!
With you on that Becky, too many people think that fat people are fat cause they eat too much, there may be some yeh, but you should never assume & label someone when you just don't know the facts.
Go Becky!! Live and let live I say.

That is true spannerhead you are very nice,i mean kind hearted dont get the wrong idea!
Eating too much is a disease.
Only if it's Prader-Willi Syndrome. Otherwise, it's just pure greed, eating too much of the wrong foods or laziness.

Mucophagy or picking your nose & eating it has been shown to increase intelligence in a study in Austria

There are excuses I'm afraid. I've put on 2 stone in 19mths. I eat a very healthy diet (not a fan of chocolate or sweets so I'm lucky - waft cheese under my nose though and I'm all over it) and cook my meals from scratch. As for the gym comment - no way I can. I don't have £28 spare a month, plus the money to get there. The council leisure centres don't really cater for me, apart from 1hr on a Thursday at the Oval (I live in New Brighton). By the time I've "walked" to the bus stop (45 mins), got the bus (approx 45 mins), walked from the bus stop to the Oval itself (probably another 30 mins), I'd be in far too much pain to even contemplate swimming, plus the fact I can't bend or fully straighten the leg anyway. Then there's the 2hr journey back home. I'd be a mess and end up in hospital.
I do agree that there is a cut off point. I look at some people and think "how do you let yourself get to that stage". It's not like you wake up one morning 20+ stone. The weight I've put on, I've literally noticed every single pound. I have to accept that until they "fix" me, this is how it is going to be, but once they do, I will shake it all off in a quarter of the time it's taken to put on. I became determined not to put any more on when I had to go up a dress size - I'm not going up another one!!
Thanks Becky, don't worry I won't get the wrong idea, lol.
Obviously it's your own life to live, but if you are content to accept the following keep scoffing those huge bags of crisps and the 2 ltr bottles of Coke.
difficulties breathing
difficulties walking or running
increased sweating
pain in the knees and back
skin conditions such as acne
gallstones.
The following medical conditions are also more common in obese people than in those of normal weight:
high blood pressure
high cholesterol
diseases related to hardening of the arteries such as heart attack and stroke (cardiovascular disease).
type 2 diabetes
some types of cancer.
These conditions are often known as obesity-related diseases and are some of the most common causes of death before the age of 75. This is why obesity increases your risk of mortality.

Yes agree but drinking and smoking can cause this also,am i right!

I'm a size 14 myself Spannerhead, I have to really be careful what I eat and try and watch my weight.
I'm certainly not critisizing anyone for weight/obesity issues, people who live in glass houses etc...
What I am trying to say is that there are many causes for people having weight problems and a misconception that it is overeating..when there are many causes and its very often the case that there are circumstances beyond a persons control.
Can I just say I think it's complete bollocks that what you eat causes you to be big.
I eat a LOT of crap and fatty foods yet I never put any weight on.
I do smoke though but that never subsidises my food.
I eat a lot.

Sorry Ste, I cannot agree. I believe that the vast majority of obese people will lose weight if they embark on a low fat, low sugar diet and exercise.

To be fair you make some good points there. I did oversimplify it quite a bit. A lot of the obesity is down to lazy lifestyles but not all. My Mum is heavily disabled and has put on a weight due to her inability to walk. There are some disabled exercise and swimming classes at Leasowe Recreation Centre but she's very self-concious about going.
In your case Wench, are there any classes at Guinea Gap that might suit you? A 411 bus from New Brighton only takes 5 minutes to Guinea Gap. The NHS may even pay for your leisure centre membership.

You may not put much weight on. Neither do I but my body fat is relatively high. Maybe you should get yours checked if you don't already. You may have lots of fat around your internal organs that you can't see from the outside but can be a silent timebomb. Or maybe you're just a lucky sod!
Obesity increases your risk of mortality I think all this is true. when you see people on the telly who are a hundred plus they are all slim/skinny.
I've got a feeling there's a "class" element involved. In my town, we have three major supermarkets which I visit. The one in the "poshest" area is Sainsbury's; the next is Tesco's & the one in the poorest area is Morrison's. The one where I see the fewest fat people is Sainsbury's, the one with the most is Morrison's And Tesco's is somewhere in between. I see fat people in all of them but the number in Morrison's is scary.

Japan has the lowest rates of cancer in the developed world. This is despite the high levels of smoking among men. Japanese people, especially older people, eats lots of fish and vegetables. British people don't. The Japanese are far slimmer than us. Walk round any Japanese town and most of the people you see are slim. Walk around Birkenhead or Liscard and it's mostly overweight people.
In Okinawa [southermost Japan] they have the highest concentration on over 100 year olds in the world. Okinawans eat around 30 portions of fruit and veg a day!
We'd have a lot less fat people in this country if our diet was closer to the Japanese.
Northern Chinese are six footers and have a sense of humour. I would not class them as your typical Chinese. If you went to the aluminium producing areas in Japan you will find many deformities because of the fish and fruit diet, aluminium dust and wash off. I would not class them as typical Japanese.When I see a person who is overweight walking about town I do not class them as a typical Brit.
I think the key is to be balanced if you eat rubbish like a kebab after being on the lash eat something healthy the next day and exercise to pay for the booze
I know in China fruit and veg is cheap and things like chocolate are more expensive. I had a friend in uni who moved from China and said she put on loads of weight at first because she couldn't afford to eat like she would at home, cos our veg costs so much but crap is cheap

The cause could be a gland problem or illness.
On the other hand i used to be a size 22 now down to a size 14!
There were no fat people in concentration camps. I rest my case!

You can eat loads if you eat the right stuff.
I too was size22 and now size14 but now creeping up as eating a few naughty things.
Had no incentive to loose weight but it was so hard to get clothes to fit,my daughter was getting married and also I had booked an intensive holiday and needed to be like a mountain goat.
I went to Slimmers World in Moreton and did the Extra Easy eating plan and lost with no effort between 1lb and 3lb a week and still able to have the odd treat.
Will go back eating sensibly and will steadily loose a stone after Christmas, before I go away on another long-haul trip which is booked.
This woman is happy being fat.

RE: the video - that's tantamount to child abuse! It doesn't happen overnight so why didn't the parents stop feeding her shit? If they didn't feed her, there would have been a whole host of agencies get involved so why should it be different the other way round?
The other video - that's just rank. I think I read somewhere about a woman in this country that is about the same weight and intends to reach a ton or something similar. I know we're all going to die anyway, but why would anyone want to be that big? All this feeder crap makes my blood boil.
WTF!?! That child is bad. That's child abuse surely. I tried Slimming world but can't eat the amount you have to so it's not worked. I don't eat 3 meals a day because I can't eat if I'm not hungry.
As for the woman in the States - just why!?!

well done i bet you are well pleased you lost the weight!!
Sorry but that woman does not deserve to have children, they should be taken away and given a nice life - not because she is fat but because she is TRYING to get bigger and destroying herself for fame - disgusting attention seeking bitch!!!
Her children deserve a better life than wiping her arse and helping her go shopping for her suicidal dinners - hopefully someone will step in and take the children out of this awful situation
[/quote]well done i bet you are well pleased you lost the weight!![/quote]
Yes Becky, I had more energy and went to a size12. This did not suit me as it made my face too gaunt and I like to have curves with a bit of meat on me. When size I2 I felt too cold in the winter as I had lost my protective body fat.
It was lovely at size14 to look ok on my daughter's wedding photos, and being slimmer gave me more confidence.
The only drawback was that men came out of the woodwork, and I had a stalker at work younger than my children.
I had decided after my divorce not to bother with men again, was a bit depressed, and so was not too bothered about my weight.
A year ago I bumped into an old friend, and I enjoy his company, so now enjoying life.
well Happy for you Paxvobiscum,
I agree it does give you more confidence am happy for you!
I will look at my woodwork later!
What a comment, skinny people get sick just like fat people, shes convinveing herself that her weight isnt a problem.
13000 calories aday, I did 6000 in the artic but feck me eating twice that much – how is that possible

in America parents have been arrested for letting thier children become obese...and charged with child abuse...
also someone who is thin can actually have a high body fat mass and also be more unfit than the larger person..
Glands haha.
No you're fat because you eat too much and don't exercise enough.
