  • Why Is It Now Sociably Acceptable To Be Fat?

    Do you ever walk passed someone smoking a cigarette, weed or vaping and instantly feel disgusted?

    Well that’s how I feel when I see fat people eating in a restaurant, out and about or even snacking on a dirty greasy fatty snack!

    Only the other week I was sat in a play centre when a morbidly obese woman came in with what I assumed was her grandchild… the said woman was in a mobility scooter with her stomach hanging down to the ground, sat on her lap was a kfc bargain bucket.

    We spent a good two hours there and decided to having a McDonald’s dinner, we were there for a few minutes and I only see the obese woman sat in there now scoffing down a Big Mac.

    Now I’m not anti fat people I understand there are people out there with glandular problems or Polycystic ovaries etc, my issue is with those who don’t help themselves and make me feel sick.

    Why is it  now publicly acceptable to be fat… take the Simply be adverts for example, what they are really saying is don’t worry about looking after yourselves anymore we got clothes to fit ya no matter how fat you get!

    My view is if you are in a pub and the bartender deemed you to be to intoxicated he can refuse to serve you, why can’t fast food places do these with the obese… “hey look, your stomach is nearly touching the floor how about a salad instead of the extra large greasy meal”.

    Do people no longer care about their health, their appearance, their smell (yes fat people smell) or the eyes of others around them!

    Come on people let’s stop pretending this issue is ok and to love the skin you are in coz that bull will make a nation of unhealthy and unattractive people.

  • Fines For Parents With Obese Children

    Fines For Parents With Obese Children.

    Recent statistics show that one in five children will be obese by the time they leave primary school, twenty percent of ten and eleven year olds are obese but are the parents to blame?

    Childhood obesity is on the rise but is fining parents going to solve the problem?

    It’s easy to lay the blame but surely educating children to cook healthy nutritious meals in school regardless of their home situation would benefit our children and the future generations.

    Cheap food and soft drinks, television marketing, the vast amount of fast food restaurants surely must take a portion of the blame. According to reports deprived areas have a higher obesity rate than more affluent areas  if that is the case than surely the answer would be education and exercise?

    Funding more out of school clubs for children to play sports, cooking classes for parents on a budget even family fun days where everyone would join in is better than fining cash strapped parents money they don’t have already.

    Or is fining them the answer? Feed your children healthy food and make them exercise or risk a fine will make parents sit up and listen and change the diets of children and also the mindset of the child.

    We as parents are all guilty of giving a children sweets, crisps, chocolate and fast food now and again but is it all in moderation or are some parents too lazy to cook or prepare food and just buy cheap easy convenience food to feed their children?

    Wouldn’t the answer be to make fatty sugary food expensive and healthy food more cost-effective? Are parents entirely to blame for the rise in obesity in our children or does the blame lie elsewhere?

  • Being Obese Is Really Not Beautiful

    Being fat is not beautiful

    If you are obese please sort yourself out you are not beautiful you are unhealthy and need to learn how to cook healthy, nutritious meals and that you have the ability to walk places and exercise, slimming word is relatively cheap so are vegetables.

    Being fat causes great strain on the NHS, did you know that obesity costs Britain more money than the war on terror , you increase the chances of getting diabetes, cancer, strokes, heart disease and depression but that’s your problem, my biggest problem is you will claim DLA for being fat, I mean come on being fat is not an illness it is pure laziness and the lack of self-control.

    There is a worrying trend of obese parents whose children are also dangerously over weight, don’t we all want whats best for our children, well I don’t feel your child struggling to run around with their friends a is a great start in life, you are setting them up to fail.

    Campaigns go round saying love your skin, big is beautiful, but stretch marks, flappy bits of skin and heavy breathing from walking up a flight of stairs is not attractive in the slightest, now I know some larger people can;’t help it ie on steroids or thyroid problems but not all of you can use this excuse!!!

    Now if you wish to eat like a pig or stay sat down in front of the tv whilst claiming benefits that’s up to you, but no one can persuade me that big is beautiful, unhealthy yes but beautiful heck no!!
