This read was my favorite so far solely because it made me the most heated so far. I completely agree, 100%, with the first article. What people eat and how much of it they eat is THEIR sole responsibilty. Why should someone else suffer because of what another person likes stuffing their face in. These people need to learn what is good for them, in what quantities and when it's appropriate to "snack." I eat McDonalds all the time and I am nowhere near overweight, I'm acutally the complete opposite. I need to gain some weight. If I can eat unhealthy sometimes, and then balance it out with eating proper later and exercising, why can't other people? It's not that hard. If people are overweight, it IS their fault. No buts about it. I also don't like how the second article made a general statement about "teenagers" and how they drink soda more than anything else. I'm proud to say I don't drink nearly as much soda as I do water. If I have the choice, 9 times out of 10, I choose water. I love water more than any other drink available, especially vitamin water. I also happen to love milk. In case you didn't notice, this reading really grinded my gears.
I understand for the people that are genetically overweight. If the entire overweight population was people that are genetically overweight, THEN it'd be a bigger problem for us all to solve. But it's not. Most of these overweight people, are people that can change what they eat and their habits, and in the end, fix their problem.

I completely agree with you on this topic, I can’t stand people that complain about their weight and do completely nothing to try to lose weight. It is their fault for being that weight and it should be their responsibility to try to at least do something about it. I think it all goes down to self respect, if people want to keep eating and not respect their body it is their fault and they should be happy with the way they look because that is what they chose. I think the first article best represents our views on this topic.
ReplyDeleteI too, have to agree with you on this article. I think that it is extremely obnoxious when people complain about being fat, and blame the food industry, it just makes me sick. I too eat McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Burger King multiple times a week, and I'm not a skinny fellow, but with proper workout routines, then no one will get fat.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you and the comments. I too think it is an individuals responsibility to eat healthy. If people depend on others to make sure they eat healthy this a big problem. First of all individuals are the sole controllers of what goes into their body, therefore should assume 100% control. Meaning, that if an individual wants to be healthy and has the knowledge that their diet is not, the individual is the one that must assume responsible and take proper action. I give pity only to those who are fat in the mist of complete dedication to healthy diet and exercise. This fat people may have slower metabolism, and as you mentioned may be fat genetically. But I feel just as individuals are solely responsible for their diet, they are solely responsibly of their self image.
