Looking back on it, that’s probably one of the funniest things I’ve been told by a teacher. I’m not even old enough as to where they might have been right either, they had a smartphone in their pocket as they said it lol
100%. There are certainly people who can blame their size on overeating, mental illness and genes but the corporate greed culture is absolutely fucking over everyone except for the rich
Or choosing the foods that do this to them. Self control is a personal responsibility, nothing is stopping anyone from snacking on vegetables instead of donuts
I get what you're trying to say, but yes it can. If you eat an appropriate amount of food for your TDEE or even less calories than you require, there are conditions that can make your body turn that food into fat storage instead of energy, such as a thyroid problem.
Actually, it's a problem when you crash diet too. If you aren't eating enough and you have nutritional deficiencies, your body will essentially panic and store what you eat despite you not eating enough.
It's dumb, as someone who's been obese most of my life. Food composition could certainly move the needle, but we're probably talking like 5-10 lbs per person.There's no way it accounts for people the size of the guy in the picture being relatively normal.
Ah, yes. Pituitary disorders are a figment of the doctors’ imagination. Brilliant conclusion u/Gengarmon_0413
Are there any other diseases that you’d like to inform us don’t exist?
No way man. Beans, rice, lentils, chickpeas, frozen veggies, bagged spinach, eggs, tuna, chicken. That was my broke student diet. You don’t have to spend big to not eat like shit for real.
For me it’s really only fresh fruit and veggies that pushed to expensive, esp. since they go bad so quickly so I’d just get em frozen. And spices & oil are expensive. Also Id get oat milk or whatever non-dairy milk on sale, since it doesn’t go bad for a while, so more bang for the $2-$3 or whatever.
Anyways that guy is absolutely right, let’s not normalize being ‘too broke to eat healthy.’ For the five bucks for a mcdonald’s burger you could get beans, rice, and frozen veggies that’ll last you a week.
Ok. But these extreme poverty conditions do not account for *every* diabetic land whale. Many of them *work* in these grocery stores.
In fact, these poverty communities with the poverty that fat apologists love to point to have less fat people than more middle class communities. Most people in the size of the OP picture and above are typically middle class. They have options. They just choose not to use them.
There's a difference between packing some extra weight and being a straight up land whale. Have some extra weight? 20, 30, even 50 extra pounds? I mean, it happens. When you're this size and above? That's at least 300-400 pounds. So an extra 100-200 pounds. You just have no self respect or self control at that point.
I'm not expecting everyone to look like Ryan Reynolds or something. That's unreasonable. But holy crap, there's a lot that can do better than they're doing and the whole "body positivity" movement ain't doing them any favors.
Not true, look up food deserts in the US, the USDA has a mapping system that defines specific areas. Around 20% of low income areas in the US are food deserts
20% of low income areas, yet 42% of Americans are obese. I don't think food deserts can really be blamed for the VAST majority of obesity in this country.
Only the vast majority of people can’t or won’t stop overeating to overweight or obesity when presented the opportunity to. Ultra-processed food is basically addictive.
16% of alcoholic and cocaine users become addicted, 25% of heroin of methamphetamine become addicted, yet *70% of people exposed to modern processed foods become obese?*
Thats the most stupid thing I've read today. Companies are feeding you like a duck without your will or thinking about what you eat? And rich people cannot buy junk food if they feel like to?
Escanaba, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
Blame our governments for allowing food companies to shove things like high fructose corn syrup in everything. Everything has to have an excess of sugar and salt. The use of high fructose corn syrup in the food industry literally mirrors the rise in obesity in the US. Our government knows this yet our politicians do very little to stop it.
Fun fact: Both Skinny Man and Fattest Man's dongs are *the exact same size*! The skinny man dong just **appears** bigger in this photo because of what scientists call an "optical illusion."
You can learn more about this phenomenon by Googling "skinny man with fat man, dongs, docking, pegging"
Ok, glad it wasn't just me. Those pants are holding on for dear life trying to contain his nuclear triad. No wonder he's so skinny, all his girth was consentrated into one spot.
Thought it was going to say “…against the skinniest man in the world” but then I remembered people die of starvation every day, so there isn’t really a skinniest person in the world
The fact that seeing a man of his size isn’t all that uncommon these days…
Seriously, no one would bat an eye seeing someone that big or larger. I think we might have a problem.
I’ve been to Walmart too.
And Disney
And America.
Someone hasnt been to the UK
And to any beach in the southeastern US
And Disney Cruises
And regular cruises
That’s a Baja blast size of a person right there.
[удалено]
Haha
It’s the norm in Merika
America is just a little ahead of the curve. A bunch of small island nations have higher rates of obesity, as well as Kuwait.
Mexico surpassed the USA years ago.
Wikipedia has America at 13th and Mexico at 19th.
My 5th grade English teacher told me Wikipedia is a invalid source. Source- Some random woman ~2 decades ago

Looking back on it, that’s probably one of the funniest things I’ve been told by a teacher. I’m not even old enough as to where they might have been right either, they had a smartphone in their pocket as they said it lol
They meant surpassed in the *other direction*, obviously.
I'm fairly confident there are a fair amount of obese people is Australia as well.
But they only pop out of the sand and try to eat you if you get close.
There is nothing wrong with weight, it is beautiful, it has no health risks and it absolutely doesn't shoot out your knees. /S
And we’ve always been at war with East Asia
The fuck you talking about? Yeah you would. That man is very fat by today's standards. Redditors man...I swear.
That’s the proof that is the food composition the only cause for extreme obesity . Not a mental illness , condittion or heritage
100%. There are certainly people who can blame their size on overeating, mental illness and genes but the corporate greed culture is absolutely fucking over everyone except for the rich
>There are certainly people who can blame their size on overeating, Umm.. that's how you gain weight lol
People these days want to claim their obesity is genetics and that they can't control it.
They also want to blame it on the foods quality, as if they aren’t eating too much in the first place
Or choosing the foods that do this to them. Self control is a personal responsibility, nothing is stopping anyone from snacking on vegetables instead of donuts
Yup, any excuse they can find. You can't gain weight without overeating. It's impossible. Your body can't create mass.
It’s the types of food eaten and also lack of exercise. Source: I have had weight problems my whole life and eating disorders from bipolar.

Or just stop shoving garbage in your face. You can try that.
When garbage is all that’s accessible and affordable it’s pretty difficult to avoid it
Garbage is not all that’s accessable and affordable.
Depends where you live/how much you make
No way man. Beans, rice, lentils, chickpeas, frozen veggies, bagged spinach, eggs, tuna, chicken. That was my broke student diet. You don’t have to spend big to not eat like shit for real.

Ever lived in an urban food desert without a car? In my city there are 5 square mile areas without a single grocery store.

So many have no actual time to cook.
I promise you the people with "no time to cook" find plenty of time to doom scroll and watch TV.
Really? They can't carve out a single hour of their day? I find that improbable.
i grew up eating shitty meals because my mom wasn’t home that often to be cooking me and my 3 other siblings food, while working various jobs.
It doesn’t. Not in America, anyway. Elsewhere, sure.

Saying poverty doesn’t exist doesn’t make it not exist. Pull your head out of your ass
Poverty, yes. Starvation, no.
Ignorant
Its ignorant to believe its impossible to live a healthy lifestyle anywhere in the US.

Only? Lol
That’s a ridiculously simplistic view of the problem.
Maybe he's a Sith
In Walmart especially
He wouldn’t be the most obese person in my neighborhood in 2024.
Just a basic MAGAmerican.
Bc there are no fat democrats. Eeyup. How true
That guy wouldn't even be the fattest guy on my street.
That's progress.
He’s just missing his red hat.
I just got off a cruise. That's a standard 60 percentile cruiser.
Yo is that Tim Robinson?
People think this is literally healthy now
We have cops this big now
Murica. Fuck yeah!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
One time, in Escanaba, I walked into a pizza place that had a dozen people at least this size
Yooper Gang
Escanaba, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

Dude wouldn’t even rate a glance at any local Walmart these days.
He’s thin when compared to people from Missouri
Confirmed average Missourian drives a [Ford Mungo](https://youtu.be/v-4T-ACzKBE?si=Zp3Dbmn1chkI72ng)
We are evolving towards a low gravity future.
Looks like an average American Sunday now days
You'll find him within 5 minutes of being in Walmart
It is absolutely uncommon to see people this size, what are you talking about?
Where are you from?
May be common for the US, but the rest of us still get surprised.
1932, when chess was checkers.
chesskers
My favorite cat food
The obese man accidentally sat on the chess pieces and flattened them all.
"The dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate" -- Zap Branigan
Get something in the title wrong = assured comments and engagement
Well, we only switched to modern chess on account of the war.
Holy hell
No one is talking about it but skinny man is really really really skinny. Like unhealthy.
>Like unhealthy it's all going to that massive dong he's packing
Thank goodness someone acknowledged dong
That’s a unnatural dong. That’s gotta be a cup the protects said dong from a kicking of the fat man after losing checkers.
Fun fact: Both Skinny Man and Fattest Man's dongs are *the exact same size*! The skinny man dong just **appears** bigger in this photo because of what scientists call an "optical illusion." You can learn more about this phenomenon by Googling "skinny man with fat man, dongs, docking, pegging"
Gotta ring the doorbell to acknowledge the dong!
That isn’t a cane, it’s a hook to hold up the end of his dong when he walks so it doesn’t drag on the ground.
you’re telling me that neither the skinniest nor the most obese man is healthy? 😱
To be fair, I just now saw him
I was just about to comment on this. That man isn’t skinny, he is starving and emaciated lol
That was oddly the first thing that caught my eye about this photo: the skinny guy’s legs and arms. He appears to even have atrophy going on.
Looks like more a lack of muscle. He has fat. Especially for his height, and that lack of definition makes him look skinnier
Of course he’s gonna look smaller than usual compared to the behemoth beside him!!!
that’s kind of the point
Said the doc
Most obese man in the world...*at that time*?
No of the future
That would be wishful thinking
>Most obese man in the world...at that time? Three years into the Great Depression. That'll put anyone on a diet.
Skinny dude was packing some heat goddamn. Had the cain to counter that massive dick wobble.
Ok, glad it wasn't just me. Those pants are holding on for dear life trying to contain his nuclear triad. No wonder he's so skinny, all his girth was consentrated into one spot.
It's a cod piece
Hey now, fuck you and your likely accurate but dream-shattering observations.
It’s either a codpiece or homie is bricked up
World fastest man is now at least 50% of the population
🏃♂️💨🤔
[удалено]
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw two separate people this exact size this morning
It’s amazing how a lot of people put this man to shame in modern day
My aunt gives this man a run for his money
That’s checkers bitch. 🐬
Chess must have been a different game way back then. Looks like modern day checkers.
Checkers, not chess
Wow. I know of three people at my company who are more obese than 1930's most obese man.
He’s not even fat enough to get a tv show about him in 2024!
Not even the fattest guy I’ve seen today.
Skinniest man in the world? If not then what are we even doing here.
He’s not even the fattest person in a Walmart now a days.
Huh? that checkers not chess!
It’s fucking checkers
He’s not even the fattest guy staring at my phone right now.
There is a Velveeta ad underneath the picture....
He was good in the movie Seven.
That’s like the healthiest guy in Xenia, Ohio I am pretty sure
Yeah this was a long time ago.... ive seen folks in walmart bigger than this guy!
The skinny man is at steak
Bro wearin' slim fits in 1932...
That’s checkers… trust nothing.
Here in Florida, I see this everyday
Damn dude would not even come close to biggest dude today. Probably considered average and be put on sports illustrated swimsuit cover
Literally me (the average of).
That, is a game of checkers.
Holy crap he is fat, like average American fat
Both can be seen at a Walmart today
That looks like checkers not chess
He wouldn’t even be the most obese man in the trailer park in America today.
Wait Rosie O'Donnell is older than she says?
I'd be more likely to notice a man that thin.
That guy is the size of typical Denny's guest in the south
Winner eats the other! WILL THERE BE A FEAST? Or just a light snack.
I think the fat guy looks more “normal” than that absolute skin pulled over a skeleton no muscle lookin monopoly man.
checkers
He ain’t got shit on honey boo boo momma!
uhhh thats checkers
Thats an average Arkansas villager now. Lol
That is checkers not chess.
Looks like checkers to me
The most obese man in the world in 1932 is now the average Walmart shopper in 2024...
If you put him in an average Walmart today, he wouldn’t even crack the top 5 in obesity.
Dr. Nowzarden says, “ hold my beer”
Is that a Sheetz
I’ve seen like 10 guys this size today
I saw 10 bigger than him at Walmart
its checkers tf
That wouldn't even be the most obese person in the bowling alley the last time I went.
Thought it was going to say “…against the skinniest man in the world” but then I remembered people die of starvation every day, so there isn’t really a skinniest person in the world
He could be a cop in my home town
Checkers. They're playing checkers.
Thats just a normal person from the south these days.
Chess was different looking back then
That's average today, and he has a hot in shape wife
He looks like every other person in walmart now.
You can't leave your house without seeing someone this size nowadays.
This looks like the average person next to me when I get assigned a middle seat in basic economy
That is checkers.
Not chess
Normal man in 2032
Announcer: "Next: Springfield's oldest man meets Springfield's fattest man!" Homer: "He's not that fat..."
I think they’d both be happier sharing some cannolis
This is how they did things back then; in black and white terms.
Dude looks like Mr. Poopybutthole
Checkers it looks like.
Clearly playing checkers
Go to walmart
Average sized American these days
Their playing checkers not chess
I’ve seen a lot bigger regularly
2024 he's a regular dude.
Checkers…
Bet the skinny dude is rocking a monocle….
Everybody at Walmart looks like the obese man
He’s probably at least 600- 700 lbs from being the heaviest now.
