Eat less. Be more active.

You fat tts.

[ewenm]

Surely if you know you've got a hereditary condition that makes you prone to putting on weight, you are even more careful about what you eat and do much more exercise?

[Sisyphus]

Does anybody know if any studies have been done into why these long dormant genes seem to have become very active in recent years.
I think we need to know, after all it's not as if we enjoy abusing the fat bds now is it?

[ben_reza]

are they lazy slobs due to their genes as well?

Fatty Fibs.

Lucky bds in Ethiopia and Darfur never seem to suffer from this condition.

Which I guess is a comfort.

Interesting 'healthy diet' of curry, mashed potato and burgers. After that I switched off

feckless scum


that is all

[Martial Arts Man]

They think that eating Special K is healthy.

Well it is if you eat a normal person sized portion.

What that fatty puts into its bowl in the first scene reminded me of the EU grain mountain illustrations from GCSE Geography!


FFS....these people really get on my nerves with their chronic stupidity.

Some weird logic there 'we all eat pizza, curry etc every evening and are all fat, therefore it must be in our genes'.

They do say that some genetic traits lead to obesity, but surely the questions you want to ask are:

1) How many calories do you consume a day?
2) What do you do during the day to burn those calories?

A bit of simple math would then determine if there was any medical reason for weight gain.

The frustrating thing is that they've convinced themselves it's linked to their genes, which pretty much gives them the excuse they need to not consider their diet and exercise routines....

"my mum's big, my dad's big.."

So it's genetics, is it? Despite your mother and father not being biologically related in any way?

Hmmm...

[anonymous-user]

Apparently the cat has the same genes...

[Getragdogleg]

It might be the hutt gene.




Any excuse to use a Princess Leia pic

The thing is,people that size can lose weight at an alarming rate with sometimes just minimal changes!

[Getragdogleg]

What like removing their massive clothes ? or having a poo.

[oobster]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this already, but there is a multi-page thread already running on this family.

They DO realise the press will be snooping through their rubbish now to see those empty pizza boxes etc......
