Check out this article: http://hwwi.org/uploads/tx_wilpubdb/HWWI_Research_Paper_4-8.pdf
| Quote: |
| Abstract: Obesity has become a serious public health problem in both industrialized and rap-idly industrializing countries. It increases greenhouse gas emissions through higher fuel needs for transportation of heavier people, lifecycle emissions from additional food production and methane emissions from higher amounts of organic waste. A reduction of average weight by 5 kg could reduce OECD transport CO2 emissions by more than 10 million t, while a reduction of consumption of energy-rich food to 1990 levels would lead to life-cycle emissions savings of more than 100 million t CO2 equivalent and by more than 2 million t through reduction of associated food waste. Due to the intimate behavioural nature of the obesity problem, policies to reduce obesity such as food taxation, subsidization of human-powered transport, incentives to reduce sedentary leisure and regulation of fat in foodstuffs have not yet been implemented to any extent. The emissions benefits of fiscal and regulatory measures to reduce obesity could accelerate the tipping point where a majority of voters feels that the problem warrants policy action. |
Hopefully fat people will take note and do something to improve their health, as well as something good for the environment. |

'Blame modern life'
Title of fat problem article..ha!
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20071017/tuk-uk-britain-fat-fa6b408.html
I might be evil to say this but i cant say i'm the biggest fan of fat people..
Obviously there are the exceptions, but to me all i usually see are lazy greedy people. And excuses such as 'Blame modern life' is idiotic, i'm not fat and a hell of a lot of other people aren't fat neither..
But you have to have respect for the odd few who actually get off their ass' and sort them selves out. |

| Are they really less aesthetically appealling than extremely thin people? No, they aren't. Skinny people are an eyesore. |

Man, you want a troll topic, here it is. Who, but fatties, spend enough time online to maintain posts like this?
Fatties and geeks. I say hurrah to fatties and geeks.
With the onset of new technology, postmodern ennui, and automated food production we will be taking over the world. And it's either join us, or get eaten by us?
Do you really think fat people will be made into soylent green? Oh, no, my ignorant "thinners." You will be delicious, and I will serve you with a tacky balsamic sauce that cheapens your culinary worth.
