You can still control genetic obesity with good diet etc.

Besides, I think I actually saw that episode. It went something like this

Maury: So, your daughter is how ol...
Jessica: I WANT CANDY!
Mom: No candy now.
Jessica: I WANT CANDY NOW!
Mom: Ok ::whips out a crapload of chocolate::

You should watch yourself.

#1 Name calling and disrespect. Definite rule violations.
#2 Questioning a moderator in public. On top of that it looks like you are trying to drag the entire moderator status in the mud. Another definite clear cut rule violation.
#3 He might not be informed on certain things. Doesnt make him a liar, just ignorant. There is a difference between not knowing and lying.
#4 He aknowleged that there are genetic dispositions towards obesity. He knows that. He also knows that obesity can still be controlled.

#5 Grow up or leave.
 
Genes cannot create fat from nothing. Something has to be input for there to be fat created. If there is too much input, the person will be fat, no matter their genetics.

From Encyclopedia.com, on the subject of obesity treatment:

"Although the study of obesity is yielding many possibilities for treatment, the main focus remains diet (especially a diet limiting fat calories) and exercise, often coupled with emotional and behavioral support."
 
Hey Steven, I agree with you saying that some obese people are that way because of genectics, but 230 pounds for a 5 year old? That IS a bit much. So my explanation is she was chubby as a baby because of what her mom ate/genectics, then she continued eating caus nobody stopped her, and now shes that way. So I guess you are both right.
 
I thought the story on the 5-year old girl is that she WAS removed from her parents' custody and has been in a foster home for at least a year and continues to gain wait even though they've been monitoring her diet. Definitely, most people's lifestyles contribute or directly cause obesity (I could stand to lose a few pounds that are entirely my own fault ;-) but for this little girl, something else is really causing her problems.

Sadly, she probably won't live long at this rate. :(

As I said originally, it was the parents. The parents conditioned her body to be that way. Her metabolism was so thrown off that she is unable to recover. Her weight gain was conditioned into her body, and that takes drastic measures to reverse.

Anyways, that's how I see it. I think it all goes back to the parents.

Actually he is right... you and everyone else really should stop trusting all those studies... its just some opinion of a doctor, nothing more. (edit well no you can trust em but be careful, they are almost always half truths)

It one of those things, maybe to make fat people feel better about themselves or something... Sure some people get fat easier but...

I am perfect example of this, I eat as much as any other person and I am a fat ***. When I wasn’t lazy I also went to gym a bit extra then anyone else as well as watch what I eat (not limiting myself but just watching), I was fine, I was always big but I wasn’t fat at time I done those things. Then I got a bit (again) lazy boom fat again.

If your kid is fat you go to a doctor and you ask them what you can do to help. Thinks like no candy no big macs everyday no chicken legs and just feed her/him more health would really help. In the end its parent fault and that’s final, be responsible. Idea of her putting a kid on TV just shows what kind of parents she has.

I should know this, btw in last 2 weeks I did not change my diet but just started to remember what I ate and watch what I ate, 10 pounds with out changing anything just watching and remembering. So boohoo study my big fat…

Ya its harder but its better then having to take a brake after you walked 1 block because you are out of breath.

Cheers
 
I am not sure if the the rash of threads that objectify wowen casts TB in a good light. In my opinion it makes you all look like a bunch of juvenile football players in a locker room trying to look up a cheerleaders skirt.

But I am just a single mod and it seems that my co mods either dont care, dont have a problem or busy at the moment. I will discuss with my co mods and fellow mods in our chat and see what the concensus is.

Till then it is closed.
 
Ahh, ok. Like I said I will try and help out you mods and try and keep it as clean as a little gold supportng member can...


I'm not sure if that is hinting at me wanting to be a mod or not. I'm here enough, but I don't know if I want the responsability, plus I don't know if you want another one. OT is where I am most of the time so if you are ever looking for another OT mod, I guess you can talk to me and I might be interested :) Of course you would have to want me as a mod :smug:
 
yah, we're gonna need some rules here, like no nudity(im sure thats already a rule here). and don't close the thread if theres one idiot who puts some on, just block his reply or take off the picture. that way it can stay clean and we can enjoy this thread.
