That fact that an organization like NAAFA exists is proof of how fucked this world is

Fat Groups FURIOUS
Over Anti-Obese Comments
BY TMZ STAFF EXCLUSIVE

Two powerful obesity organizations are having a hard time stomaching Charles Barkley's offensive comments about fat women in San Antonio ... and now they're calling for Sir Charles to apologize.
Barkley lashed out against the big boned community in S.A. on "Inside the NBA" last night -- saying, "Some big ol' women down there ... that's a gold mine for Weight Watchers."

He also said, "Victoria is definitely a secret [in San Antonio] ... they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."

The statements are not sitting well with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance which is now calling for Chuck to apologize, ASAP.

"Making slurs about body size is just as offensive as making comments about body color," spokesperson Peggy Howell tells TMZ Sports.
"One would think being a black man, he'd be more sensitive to having his physical body criticized. It's totally out of line. He should absolutely apologize."

The President of the Obesity Action Coalition has also issued a statement expressing "extreme disappointment" with Charles.
"As a former NBA player and sports entertainment figure, Mr. Barkley should encourage equality and respect among society and not look to shame or segment one population because of their size."

"Obesity is a serious medical condition and not a joking matter."

Let's face the truth. You are fat because you want to be.

A disease?.

Why?

You can think for yourself, no?.

Raises a good point.

Is Obesity a disease?
Last year, the American Medical Association officially acknowledged obesity as a “disease.” Not everyone agrees. There is no doubt that excess weight can cause a wide range of health problems, including heart disease and cancer – not unlike smoking.

But, while we may consider smoking an addiction, we would hardly consider it a disease. So why should obesity qualify?

I eat between 1 - 2 kg per day and it is very hard for me to put on weight. I currently weigh 187 pounds. If I don't eat as much as I can, I will go down to my natural weight of 150 pounds. At 150 pounds, every white woman I meet tells me I am too skinny. They treat me as a reject. Only Chinese women accept me at 150 pounds. I guess that is why I first developed a liking toward Chinese women.

Anyways, I understand why some women are fat. Just like other people are skinny. I actually have to hold an occupation that allows me more freedom in regards to eating breaks, aka lunches. I can't work for any company that only allows 30 minutes for lunch because that doesn't allow me enough time to eat 750 grams or so of meat-focused lunch. It is unhealthy for me to skip or hurry up my lunch meal, as I said, for I will lose too much weight too quickly.

So, I understand the plight of fat people or fat women. I like thin women and I prefer Asian women for many reasons. But, I do understand that some people will be naturally more fat than others just based on how their body processes or burns calories.
