Fat and Happy
…
Should we all grow fat and happy? …
1. We only live once;
let’s enjoy ourselves.
2. We should not care about what other people
think of us.
3. Exercise
is a kind of torture; why should we
exhaust ourselves like that?
4. Dieters are always miserable as they are
constantly hungry.
5. Why should we spend a lifetime fighting a
losing
battle against spreading hips,
protruding tummies and double chins?
YES
1. It is a myth that all fat people are happy.
2. Fat people suffer psychologically and
physically:
Obesity makes fat people objects of
ridicule so they become miserable at
school and as grown-ups.
Being overweight is bad for health (i.e.
it leads to heart diseases, high
blood
pressure, diabetes, etc.)
3. Ready-made clothes are hard to obtain for
fat people.
4. Fat people tire easily.
5. Being fat is associated with insensible living.
6. Premature death is more likely in fat
people.
7. Life quality is poor for fat people.
A life of
gasping and wheezing and sitting in doctors’
waiting rooms is not a quality existence.
8. Most heavy people
suffer from chronic back
pain.
9. They might develop depression because of
the stress caused by having out-of-balance
body
chemistry, feeling unattractive, being
socially isolated, not finding a spouse, etc.
10. Seats in planes, theaters, and cars are
tight for fat people.
11. Making and keeping friends is tough.
As
superficial as it may be, people tend to
befriend folks
that they are pleased to
introduce to their other friends.
12. Many employers refuse to hire anyone who
is overweight because they believe fat
people work too slowly and tire before the
workday ends.
