That's not how it works.. You get diabetes after a while. Being overweight definitely raises your chance of getting diabetes and and other problems, but you refuse to believe that.
Rude much lol?
Yes it may do, but being overweight or fat doesn't mean you automatically get it. And as for refusal I think you are being a bit snooty here.
There are different types of diabetes. There's type 1 diabetes, which usually appears in childhood when a child is insulin-dependent, regardless of their weight. Then there's type 2 diabetes, which usually appears in adulthood (though it can appear in children) when a person is insulin-resistant. Type 2 can form at any age, and is primarily caused by being overweight or having an "unhealthy" lifestyle, while type 1 is not dependent on a person's weight or physical form. Therefore, yes, that is how diabetes works.

I don't care how others look although it's pretty stupid when people are proud of being 150 lbs overweight. It's like saying "Haha suckers! I'm going to die of a heart attack before you!"
If people are happy within their own skin, let em live tbh

Your argument is very flawed because it was fairly obvious hemming was referring to type 2 because 1) its more common and 2) its the only type that is more likely to occur because of being overweight.
There would be no reason to assume that hemming was speaking of the type of diabetes that has no correlation with body weight. You are trying to win an argument by twisting blatant statements
Where do you live where healthy food is not more expensive than unhealthy????????

Is it right to let someone do something to themselves just because it makes them happy? Cutting helps take away emotional pain by replacing it with physical pain, making them feel better about their situation. If they are more comfortable in that pattern and enjoy their own lives better that way, does that make it okay?
Lol this.
Veggies/fruits are pretty expensive here unless you want 'em brown and dirty and it take some to make it good.
Also if you're on a limited budget it's not that easy doing "easy healthy" dishes everyday

Refer to my very first post in this thread
Well I mean obviously it's never going to be about shaming or putting people down. Putting people down is just something people do when they have their own insecurities. I have overweight family members. I encourage them to eat well and exercise but I would never nag or put them down because of it. I also do not think of myself any better a person because of it

^This exactly. Doing a week's worth of groceries for myself costs around $20-30 for dinners only vs. (less than) $2 Jr Chickens at Mcdonald's...
I'm all for people being comfortable in their own skin, but if they start attacking others for their 'thin privelege'...

My boyfriend lives in New York and it costs more to actually buy groceries then to just buy food from delis/fast food. Here in Canada, fast food/eating out is so expensive that it's cheaper here to just buy groceries to make your meals with.
You could buy popcorn chicken with fries at KFC for $8 (1 meal), or buy a handful of vegetables for the same amount and use them for several meals.

Guys. A reminder to stay civil.

this, like instant ramen cost less than a buck while veggies/meat etc. are way more expensive. yes you can probably make better dishes than that but just a prime example..
Also yeah I might have "thin privilege" because I hardly gain weight other than a bit around my butt but I don't go attack people for not having that...
Usually when people can't afford groceries they're usually spending less than 5 dollars on a meal when they eat fast food.
It's a bit hard to stay civil when you created a thread that allows people to say how horrible they think fat people are, and then you have fat people obviously trying to defend themselves. I would suggest closing the thread if you're against people getting defensive and angry.
I'm glad your mentality exists, a lot of people think that because they know someone who is overweight, it gives them a free pass to nag them constantly regarding what they eat/do

People can state their opinions in a respectful manner. If the topic is a sensitive issue, I would suggest staying away from the thread
