Then by that logic why discuss or debate anything at all then?

You can discuss yourself without always trying to insult others. People are always trying to tell others how to live, what relgion they should be praticing, when they should be able to have children, who they can marry, etc.. Just let others make their own choices for their own lives the way you make your own for yours. No need to constantly bash others for thiers. White women and black men are constantly bashed from the white and black community for just being together. If a person don't like mixing they should just not do it. I think it's bull to judge us for our choice.

For the most part Regina I agree with your live and let live philosophy. However, nobody lives in a vacuum, as a small business owner, I can say that the lifestyle choices of my employees has a direct affect on my profit bottom line (what I pay in health insurance for my employees). I live in Arizona, we have no helmet law regarding motorcycles as opposed to other states. As a result the insurance premiums are much higher here for all, because many here choose to ride without a helmet.

Everybody pays more across the board for our current obesity crisis and not just healthcare costs, the travel industry, imports and exports (food), farming, and numerous more.

Bottom line, we are all connected on this big blue marble, and the lifestyle choices of others do indeed have an affect on you me and everyone else.

Your allowing the system to let you take issue with peoples choices. Although I understand your concern I still don't think it's right to take away or have issues with other peoples choices based on wheather you bennifit or loose. Insurance is a choice. When I worked for a insurance company I learned that insurance started with ships. A person would have all their stock on one ship and would loose big time if that ship sank. So they started putting their stocks on several ships so if one sank their loss would be small.

It was a choice to go in with all your goods and divide them up among other ships. Not all ships were alike. Some might be better than others increasing or decreasing the chance of making it across seas. The bennefit out weighed the risk. IMO it's the same thing today. You choose to stock pile your money in with a group of others who come in all shapes and sizes and health risk. I don't think it's right to make that choice then fuss about how others have more or less risk and want them to change. You either choose to go in with them or don't. But everyone should be accepted for who they are if you choose to go in with them.

while it's good to have such a high opinion of yourself (i applaud you for that)

I wouldn't place men being "after you" as proof of beauty because to be frank and honest most men will fuck anything moving.......so the bigger question is will they actually want a relationship with you and not just want to bend you over.......

Haters gonna hate. :smt042
 
" I am happy with my weight". This statement is not necessarily true when it comes from most overweight women. If they had the money to hire a personal trainer and not work long hours so they can work out twice a day and lose the weight most of them would.Even some skinny women say oh if i could lose a little here and there i would be ok. To assume that people are healthy and overweight so you wont check your weight is delusional. Nature punishes and as you get to a certain age your health problems will be compounded with regards to your weight against one who is not overweight. Feel free to be fat.:cool:

RS, again, I am not in favor of taking away the individual liberties of others. History has shown us time and time again that when governments or regimes try that it eventually ALWAYS ends badly.

That being said, understanding that the choices of others do in fact affect me and others, often times in a very substantial way, it is my right as someone who is in business in part to make a profit, to take action to try to mitigate or hopefully eliminate the negative impact to me and others who pay a lot more because of the system.

I am close to implementing a weight loss incentive program for my employees much like the one Whole Foods has in place (link below). You would not believe the legal and insurance red tape that is involved in setting up a program. It is almost as if those that profit from the obesity epidemic want to keep things status quo.

And it's people with attitudes like youurs that help create this:

The Cost of an Eating Disorder

PREVALENCE

It is estimated that 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – seven million women and one million men
One in 200 American women suffers from anorexia
Two to three in 100 American women suffers from bulimia
Nearly half of all Americans personally know someone with an eating disorder (Note: One in five Americans suffers from mental illnesses.)
An estimated 10 – 15% of people with anorexia or bulimia are males

MORTALITY RATES

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness
A study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reported that 5 – 10% of anorexics die within 10 years after contracting the disease; 18-20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years and only 30 – 40% ever fully recover
The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate of ALL causes of death for females 15 – 24 years old.
20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder, including suicide and heart problems

ACCESS TO TREATMENT

Only 1 in 10 people with eating disorders receive treatment
About 80% of the girls/women who have accessed care for their eating disorders do not get the intensity of treatment they need to stay in recovery – they are often sent home weeks earlier than the recommended stay
Treatment of an eating disorder in the US ranges from $500 per day to $2,000 per day. The average cost for a month of inpatient treatment is $30,000. It is estimated that individuals with eating disorders need anywhere from 3 – 6 months of inpatient care. Health insurance companies for several reasons do not typically cover the cost of treating eating disorders
The cost of outpatient treatment, including therapy and medical monitoring, can extend to $100,000 or more

ADOLESCENTS

Anorexia is the 3rd most common chronic illness among adolescents
95% of those who have eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25
50% of girls between the ages of 11 and 13 see themselves as overweight
80% of 13-year-olds have attempted to lose weight

RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES

Rates of minorities with eating disorders are similar to those of white women
74% of American Indian girls reported dieting and purging with diet pills
Essence magazine, in 1994, reported that 53.5% of their respondents, African-American females were at risk of an eating disorder
Eating disorders are one of the most common psychological problems facing young women in Japan.

CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE SUFFERED WITH EATING DISORDERS:

Paula Abdul
Justine Batemen
Karen Carpenter
Nadia Comaneci
Susan Dey
Jane Fonda
Tracey Gold
Elton John

Jamie Lynn-Sigler
Cherry Boone O’Neill
Barbara Niven
Alexandra Paul
Princess Di
Lynn Redgrave
Kathy Rigby

first off..it's nice to see BM in managerial positions...going into business for yourself or climbing the corporate ladder, opens doors for others

secondly, im in agreement with the incentives...simple econ..people respond to incentives

i know the health system I work for, currently has a $150 annual bonus for people who elect to stop smoking, or who do not smoke

Two employers I worked for had Health Insurers that offered discounts on gym memberships, as long as you went at least twice a week.

Are you kidding? This thread has only been about weather being obese is healthy or not. No one is trying to dictate how others should love. Only pointing out health risks. It only became an argument when others decided to internalize it as if pesonal attacks wete being made. Once again if you dont like the thread dont participate.

Not sure why people are mad at u or whatever

U seem like a heavier guy who's just shedding light on this type of subject

U know..actually realizing a problem and showing concern, instead of sweeping it under a rug
