The reason why I think obesity is morally wrong and should be illegal is because obesity is putting up a big burden on our health care system. There are alot of nurses who get injured on the job because they had to move a 300lb morbidly obese person to the other room. Which is morally wrong because they’re injurying nurses simply because they decided to stuff their face with food everyday and live a very sedentary lifestyle.

And parents that overfeed their 155lb 10 year old child with food everyday are immoral and should be put in prison for child abuse and child endangerment because a child doesn’t know the long term social ramifications of obesity. A child doesn’t know that stuffing their face with food everyday is going to eventually give them a heart attack and stroke which could result in them dying at a very young age.

Obese people should be punishes for their immoral behavior by paying more taxes, paying double bus fare and pay double the price for airplane tickets as punishment for taking up too much space on the bus on the airplane.

    It’s deletorious to your health to be obese, so at the very least it is definitely a health hazard to the person. Making it illegal would be highly problematic though. How would you enforce the law? Would an obese person be forced by the state to go to a correctional facility? What kind of person would be classified obese?

      It’s practically “illegal” to be obese in the US Marine Corps. Those that don’t meet the requirements, get put on a special training program, generally have informal extra duties, are prevented from being promoted, lose opportunities for nice billets & duty stations, and can eventually get kicked out.

      Reqs were based on height to weight ratio. Of someone exceeded the reqs, then they could request one of those pinch tests. The 2nd option was mostly used by those that had a lot of muscle mass yet little fat.

      Uh oh you angered the fatties. My dad is fat as fuck and it’s the saddest life decision i have ever seen. He’s happy to go to an old folks home, because the cute gils take care of him. Yeah have fun laying in your own shit for a few hours because the cute girls are understaffed and have to wait until they are enough to move your sad ass. It’s disgusting to eat that much food for no reason but: i just like to eat a lot.
      It’s sad because the only game he can play with his grandkids is: come a little closer, i’m not gonna stand up for you.
      It’s pathetic to ve out of breath when you get into a car.

    Should we talk about how there are people who have serious health problems and literally can’t lose the weight?

    Or do you plan to punish those who are over weight and have zero control over that?

    The medical community will claim that someone is over weight and yet when you look at them they look just fine. Where do you draw the line?

      1. Everyone can lose weight if they simply eat in a calorie deficit everyday. Do some people have a slower metabolism than other people of course they do. Women in general have a much slower metabolism than men because they are shorter and have less muscle compared to men but at the end of they day if they want to lose weight they still need to be in a calorie deficit everyday in order for them to do that.

      2. Men who don’t have visible abs are obese in my opinion and women who don’t have a any ab definition at all are also obese in my opinion.

        There’s no doubt that obesity is nothing but bad for one’s health, but your opinion on the matter is irrelevant. Obesity is a measurable state, and a man simply not having visible abs is not necessarily obese, or even overweight.

          Well I completely disagree with that I think that men who don’t have visible abs are obese in my opinion.

          Even when I was a 8 year old kid I had six pack abs because I always maintain a very low bodyfat% year round by not stuffing my face with food everyday.

          Most dietician are idiots that don’t believe that being in a calorie deficit is the only way for someone to be able to lose weight.

      No sugar is completely harmless if it’s comsume in moderation. Seriously nobody is going to get any health problems from just eating 1 pint of chocolate ice cream everyday.

        Nobody is going to get fat eating an extra 800 calories and 65g of carbohydrates per day?

          Yes if my calorie maintenance is 3500 calorie and I only eat 3000 calories of chocolate ice cream everyday I will still be able to lose weight because I’m still in a 500 calorie deficit everyday.

          However if I were to eat 4000 calories of kale everyday consistently for years I will eventually get obese because I’m in a 500 calorie surplus everyday.

    You posting this useless opinion while you could read, learn, or be productive to society is morally wrong. You’re wasting your time and genes here and it’s unacceptable.

    Same thing.
