- Here's how it works. I'm gonna make a statement like.. all short people are leprechauns and when a short person tells me that I'm wrong by showing me that he or she is NOT a leprechaun I'm just gonna go ahead and still believe it because like, I said, they are ALL leprechauns. A few short people are leprechauns;therefore, that is a fact and even though this person proved me wrong, I'm going to go ahead and ignore FACTS that aren't even proven ONLY by scientific facts, but by f*ing REALITY by using facts that are really f*ing outdated and based on hatred and bigotry.and that is how people who say all fat people are unhealthy sound.

"When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.”
It is silly, ignorant and wrong to think if a bigger person states that he or she wants to start eating healthier, or wants to start working out to assume that he or she is trying to lose weight. A person stating he or she wants to eat healthier could mean he or she just wants to eat organic , home cooked whole foods instead of processed, chemical filled foods. They may necessarily not want to eat less. A person stating he or she wants to exercise more could also mean they want to work out more as exercise is very important to everyone regardless of body size. It exercises the lungs, heart, etc to keep the body strong and young. Exercising and eating healthy have nothing to do with losing weight as this post will show. So, don't make an ass out of yourself by giving weight loss tips, or wondering why a person hasn't lost weight after they claim they are exercising more, and eating healthier.

- The Men Who Made Us Fat - More against Big Food and less dissing bigger people.Shows even skinnier people can be unhealthy.

"Regardless of how Oprah and Weight Watchers try to reframe their message, hanging a different label on a diet does not make it anything other than a diet, and, as we know, doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. It deeply troubles me that so many more people could be swept up in this yo-yo dieting cycle, poised to see themselves as failures when the weight begins to come back; poised to feel ashamed and depressed and stressed, which only leads to poor health outcomes." -You Don't Have to Be Thin to Be Healthy @ U.S News

- "If health and happiness are your goals, there is a better way. Health at Every Size, or HAES, is a movement that encourages us to make peace with our bodies. HAES principles encourage the development of healthy habits for the sake of health, not weight control. HAES supporters believe that traditional weight-loss methods do not lead to permanent weight loss for the majority of the population. They believe that health is a result of behaviors that are independent of body weight. HAES supporters teach respect, including respect for body diversity. HAES encourages compassionate self-care, learning to be sensitive to our body’s cues of hunger and satisfaction, and realizing that it’s normal for the consumption of food to be pleasurable and guilt free. HAES principles encourage individuals to find the joy in moving and being physically active. I highly recommend that you read "Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight," by Linda Bacon, Ph.D., for a fuller understanding of this lifestyle choice." -You Don't Have to Be Thin to Be Healthy @ U.S News
- on an article about Rick Ross' weight loss..."Ross decided to take control of his health after suffering two seizures in one day back in 2011. The seizures, which occurred on two separate flights, left him unconscious, and CPR was necessary to revive him." - Don't be blaming that on weight, it is known Rick Ross,Lil' Jon, and many others have gotten really sick and have had bad health issues because of that "purple drank" shniz that was really popular. But, see how the media and medical doctors ALWAYS make it about WEIGHT and not about eating habits or even drug habits.Pretty sure codeine and dxm mixed together would mess you up before a big belly does.

- Big Fat Lies by Dr. Glenn Gaesser. Dr. Brandreth Symonds stated that “excessive weight, whether it be fat or muscle, is not a storehouse of reserve strength, but a burden that has to be nourished, if muscles , and that markedly interferes with nutrition and function, if fat.”

No. So stop acting like your issues with somebody else's weight comes from a place of concern over health. You're just reaching for excuses for your shitty behavior. Not just that, but you're invalidating, ignoring, and insulting all the healthy fat people in the world, too."

- Pt 3.with Dr. Glen Gaesser | The Dr. Oz Show
- Pt 4.with Dr. Glen Gaesser | The Dr. Oz Show - in my opinion this is why people should exercise, and not to sound harsh but why bigger people should exercise with weight training , so their body is used to that "extra weight" because if you are comfortable lifting 300 pounds and you weight 250 your body will in my opinion, be used to that weight and be more accustomed to carrying that weight. We all should exercise;however, i am not saying bigger people are the only ones who need to exercise.When i do not exercise for long periods of time i get winded and my legs hurt and are like jello carrying my 100 pound body. So I exercise and do squats and strengthen my leg muscles and I feel a lot better. My knees and feet feel better as well! I am trying to point out that working leg muscles to carry our weight helps (no matter what size you are, bigger people should just work up to carrying more weight). Squats, and yoga can help with that :P Ain't no thing wrong with that. It's like a free weight machine attached to your body :P *hehe* :D

Sumo
- 15 sumo wrestlers, with an average BMI of 36, who eat around 5000-7000 calories or more a day and average exercise levels.. Despite their obesity, the Sumo wrestlers had relatively little visceral body fat, as assessed by CAT scans. They also had the low levels of cholesterol that seem to be associated with modest amounts of this kind of fat, as well as fairly normal levels of triglycerides (105 mg/dl) and blood glucose (95 mg).” - Eat healthy and exercise while maintaining physical activity throughout the day.

- What you can learn from a Sumo Wrestlers Diet - NOTE: turn off annotations cause dumb stuff about selling weight loss shniz pops up. Proves that you can be healthy and fat, just WORK out and eat HEALTHY!! You do not need to eat less, just eat healthy and exercise. That is the key to health!! They do not have a lot of visual fat but they have subcutaneous fat because they exercise and eat healthy and stay away from nasty heavily processed foods and "food like products" unlike people in the USA do. They home cook everything and enjoy their food instead of popping shniz in the mic from already made meals that are loaded with bad chemicals. They also don't stress about weight like people in the USA do.

overweight, obese as medical terms + no healthy weight
- There Is No Healthy Weight @ Dances with Fat - "There is no such thing as a “Healthy Weight”. People have a certain level of health (which can be judged through metabolic tests or physical fitness etc) and people have a weight (which can be judged in pounds, kilos, stone etc.). These are two separate measurements...Healthy fat people who do have health insurance are encouraged to undergo a risky major surgery with an extremely poor success rate at 20K a pop so that their bodies can be smaller, and the diet industry makes over 60 Billion Dollars a year. Meanwhile plenty of sedentary thin people who eat a poor diet are constantly sold the idea that they are healthy simply because of the ratio of their weight and height...If doctors were honest with us, they would say that the human body is extremely complex and they haven’t yet scratched the surface of everything that is involved in being “healthy”"
