What the f**k is a "wider circular firing squad debate?". I'm guessing this is some shite off of the twitter and therefore reality for a small number of people. Out in the real world, fat kids are still getting a slagging in the playground and fat adults are generally considered less attractive by the opposite sex.

Totally agree that some people just need a boot up the arse. But what works for them might not work for others and might actually be harmful. I don't really recognise the reality that you're describing. Fat people are routinely made to feel shit about being fat and that hasn't helped either

As a general rule of thumb, if someone has a book or subscription to sell they should be ignored. You should worry about hurting people's feelings. Even if you have zero empathy or humanity (which i doubt) it can be counter productive. There can be complicated feedback mechanisms with lack of self esteem etc that lead people to despair and self destructive behaviour. Some people need their confidence built up so that they can be convinced that making a change is worth it and possible.

Not this week. Get in the queue behind the fatties please.

No. Mental health is about wider behaviour. Your definition is of mental illness not mental health. A relevant analogy to physical health and illness would be that being overweight is not an illness but it is a health issue

Mainly agree with your first point but completely disagree with your second. Apart from a tiny minority of physiological cases obesity is a mental health issue. The vast majority is not related to mental illness though. Lack of discipline, laziness, instant gratification etc are all mental issues and reflect poor mental health in general. It's people's minds that need to be trained. It's a question of habits. Physical health effects will follow mental health improvements.

It would say "this not is healthy" Some people would get upset. Most people would think "yes, obviously, so?" A minority of sanctimonious twats would be all like "about time someone told those fatties" Very few magazines would be sold.

That's clearly not healthy. But that doesn't explain why you'd be terrified to say that (wid by the way)

Remember the chocolate manufacturers comitting to scrapping king sized bars a few years ago. They just replaced them with "duos" under the flimsy pretence that people would leave one for later. You'd just end up with a "handy twin pack" or some shit. Why are you scared of the opinion of some hypersensitive do gooder?

I'd be astonished if more than a couple of percent of the population know a figure for that, or what the initialism stands for. I know averages and can estimate what calories i need to lose weight. Surely most people work on the basis that if they're putting on weight they need to eat less and less commonly losing weight, eat more. I think throwing jargon around makes it sound difficult and will put people off engaging.

I have no idea what a TDEE is.

"Fat people deny they are unhealthy and need to change" is quite the sweeping assertion. I assume that this is backed by some solid evidence and not just "in my experience" bollocks.

You missed some of the Celtic cousins https://www.mebyonkernow.org/

Technology will solve this. Once better bionic cardiovascular systems are available we can all have king rib suppers for lunch and still live to 100. I shouldn't have mentioned king rib, i'm hungry now.

Is she not on a yachting holiday with that man off the military base who claimed to have guns but only had a zombie family? Hopefully Maggie will get eaten soon.

Bit racist, no?

You need to apologise to the One Show

Not that i know anything about this, but i expect that someone has probably established that old people who go swimming in cold water are less likely to have dementia, and not realised that's because people with dementia are less likely to be out and about.

I don't think so but they might have been. Was about 2003 in a theater (sic) in New York.

I went to watch a comedy central stand up show being filmed in the states. One of two comedians was decent. The other was utter shit, the worst sort of pedestrian observational turd, mainly centred around him and his fiancé planning a wedding. But the crowd went absolutely nuts for every single shite line from him. Stuff like "she asked whether we should have gold or silver writing on the invitations, and i'm like, i don't care" had the guy behind us doubled up, going "oh shit, oh shit" and wiping his eyes. It was really unsettling.

Gherkin maybe but tomato, savoury? No.

You're a vegetable Pineapple is not the same as banana. Cheeseburger usually contains gherkin and tomato. Both fruit. They don't have jurisdiction here. And it is an established fact that Americans are really thick. So the issue is you have an unsophisticated palate. The acid and sugar in fruit is widely used to counter balance the umami saltiness of meats. Stick to your findus crispy pancakes.

What, like tomato? As usual, social conservatism is founded on ignorance.

After being locked in the house for two months with the wife and two daughters, i found it a refreshing change to be asked for my views on anything and to be able to answer. So it had that going for it.
