OK I'm going to admit this before I start, I'm ignorant, I'm as ignorant as people come on this subject, but I'm still entitled to an opinion, whic I'm going to share with you all, and unlike my boxing ones, I'm not going to stick to facts, this is about 80% opinion.

Now where do we start with obesity?
(The waste line, lols punny Scott) A person is classed as "obese" on a BMI stat, a stat that is so flawed and fundementally wrong that it's better off ignoring all together and sticking to body fat charts.

Who are you to say doctors are wrong? What makes you Dr Graveson?
Well the simple fact that people like Lennox Lewis weighing 246 lb's and standing at 6"5' would have a BMI of 29.2 (.7 under being obese) and thats before we look at american Footballers and Rugby players, who are both built like brick shit houses. BMI doesn't take into account body shape, just size, it doesn't look at body types i.e. Muscular or wideness.

So this is why it can't be used?
I never said "can't be used" I merely stated it should be ignored, like Steve Mcclaren and Mick Mccarthy should for the Newcastle job.

A few months back me and my over-weight friend were sat on my couch watching "Can fat teens hunt?" on BBC3, a documentary on whether a bunch of fat, lazy slob like teenagers could live in some far away jungle living with some local tribe and hunting for the food the tribe would eat.
My first complaint was jokingly asking why my money (TV license) was being paid for these fat people to be taken to central america. Why not take them upto the Shetlands, stick them on a scottish island and let them kill a few sheep, cry, whisk them home, or alternatively take them to a resort in the lake district, with a gym, and regulate their food. Teach them some personal discipline.

Well my friend countered this with "Us fat people can't do that, we need to be tought to eat by ourselves, which the show is doing"...I realised the sex before hand had totally messed with her brain, as that was the same point I'd made, just with out the need to send them so far.

People are overweight/obese for one, simple reason, they eat more than they use, simple logic and very easy to understand. Heres a simple example for you:
A person eats 3000 calories, and sits on their arse all day, they become exceedingly fat.
Another person (lets say, one in africa) is lucky to eat 500 calories a day, they starve.

Which was my second complaint about the show, if were gonna send some kids who are too slob like to either burn the calories they eat or regulate what they eat, send them to people with the opposite problem. This will shock them, hopefully to spending less on burger, chips and other fatty foods, and putting the savings into some charitable aid company to provide more food for these less fortunate folk.

Now I'll admit I'm not one for huge amounts of excersise, though I'm currently under-going some weird weight loss problems, where none of my old jeans will fit me...which is another problem with overly large folk.

Imagine how many people are in size 44+ male jeans or 20+ female skirts (I'm sure they aren't the same), now just think about how much fabric, poor chinese slaves are using up to cover your exceedingly large bulk. It's all your fault that poor kids are being abused for clothes, if it was just for normal sized people, they would only be half as many child workers >_> (I know this is a load of bull, but I'm allowed to be moody and nasty in the odd review).

Look at Andy Fordham before his diet, he couldn't even finish a game of darts he was that fat, what a lazy, self abusive idiot, and he was to blame, "I drink 20 pints a day"...well if I drank 20 pints a day I'd be broke by the end of the week. Annoyingly the bloke has now lost so much weight he looks like a weird love child of ET and a female Sumo wrestler.

I'm sorry for my rant, but some people really do need a foot up the arse to lose a few pounds, it's not as hard as people make out, sure their are some medical conditions that make it more difficult, but it doesn't take a person with Einstiens intelligence to do the simple maths that would prevent them from being overly big.

Summary: A rant at those who can't control themselves.
