Fatties Fuck Off

That tells you that different people face different challenges in terms of weight control. It's harder for some people to stay in shape than it is for others. And it's harder for some people to stay disciplined than it is for others. Some people are programmed to eat to ease feelings of depression and anxiety, just like some people drink, smoke and take drugs to do that. For those people, it's harder to say no, and it's hard to reverse the mentality.

The government just seems to want to send everybody to Weight Watchers, which isn't getting to the root of the problem.

Quite correct. Some people have better metabolism and break down fats quicker than others. Some people are naturally big boned.

Cholesterol seems to be a major factor but that can also be hereditary and passed down from one generation to the next.

They also rot your brain, but you don't need a test for that.

What a surprise that Asda's confectionary aisle stalker is defending the fat.

Make all the excuses you want, but in the majority of cases people are fat because they eat too much and don't exercise. It has nothing to do with their granny dying 10 years ago or their budgie needing a heart transplant.

People comfort eat for the same reasons that people drink, smoke and take drugs.
You're such a typical Tory - so devoid of emotion - you completely miss this side of the argument.

Or is it all just part of your act? I bet you're a 25 stone serial dieter really.

I'm not denying people comfort eat - but it's their choice to comfort eat. When I feel low after Mark traps his knob in the hoover I don't run to the fridge to down a pork pie and a chipolata sausage, I go to Nuggy to burn my fanny!!

I never said you were. What you are denying is that comfort eating is a harder habit to kick for some than it is for others.

Some people can buy a box of chocolates without eating them all in one night, some people can't. Some people can have a glass of wine without polishing off two bottles, some people can't.

The mistake you (and many others) make is in thinking that it all boils down to discipline. It takes a lot more willpower to give up something you're addicted to than something you're not.
