Our bodies were not designed to be fat. Lots of bad things can happen.
But then, everything causes cancer.

You’re wrong about everything here.
Our bodies were specifically designed to store energy in the form of fat. For the Winter.
Lots of bad things can happen when ignorant people open their mouth to spew misinformation
Everything does not cause cancer.
Dumb shit causes brain rot.
Accumulating fat as an energy storage mechanism, in the Fall, to survive the winter, is the reason White People exist! Without it, there’d only be negros, living in perpetual Summer climate

Anyone with a brain knows this, except cheeseburgers won’t kill you. Cheeseburger Buns kill you. Especially when paired with sedentary lifestyle. So people like you who eat candy and junk food should pay for all your own healthcare, instead you beg for socialism to bail you out, from your poor personal choices. Sad
rpanic01 saysAnother reason fatties need to pay more for health care.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death. Who knew cheeseburgers would kill you. These people should pay triple.

This is rich. I assume there's some sarcasm in here, but the logic does technically make sense biologically, right? Bears hibernate, aka getting fat and sleeping. I known that's what I do in the winter. Winter sucks although the food leading up to it is terrific. I then get into beach bod shape around March/April. It's a really good system for me.

There is a difference between storing 5-10% of extra fat for the winter and being obese.

Our bodies were designed to store some fat, not the excessive fat that makes you obese. Overweight people are far more vulnerable to killer diseases. Even obese pets are subject to shorter lifespans.

Don't want to go down a rabbit hole here, but I'll let errc respond if he has a problem with what I said.

WTF? Any elaboration here? Sure it's predominant in that sector, but 100%? That's not really rational.
100% of aids linked to homosexuals.

Another lie told by a small-dick bigot. You do realize people can look shit up on Google, don't you?
A far more accurate statistic would be 100% of pedophilia is linked to the religious, particularly Christians and Muslims.

About 40 percent of all cancers in the United States -- more than 630,000 in all -- are associated with excess weight, health officials said Tuesday, urging a renewed focus on prevention.
In a nation where 71 percent of adults are either overweight or obese, the findings by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "are a cause for concern," said the agency's director Brenda Fitzgerald.
"A majority of American adults weigh more than recommended -– and being overweight or obese puts people at higher risk for a number of cancers," she said in a statement.
"By getting to and keeping a healthy weight, we all can play a role in cancer prevention."
Carrying excess weight has been shown to boost the risk of 13 types of tumors, including cancers of the esophagus, thyroid, postmenopausal breast, gallbladder, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, ovaries, uterus, colon and rectum.
The rates of these overweight- and obesity-related cancers are rising, in contrast to the overall rate of new cancer cases which has dropped since the 1990s.
Colorectal cancer was the only weight-associated cancer that decreased from 2005-2014 -- falling 23 percent, due in large part to screening, said the report.
All other cancers linked to weight rose seven percent in that decade.
About two-thirds of the 630,000 weight-associated cancers diagnosed in 2014 occurred in people aged 50 to 74.
Women were particularly susceptible, with 55 percent of all cancers diagnosed in women associated with weight, compared to 24 percent of those diagnosed in men.
According to the latest CDC data, 32.8 percent of people in the United States are overweight, and 37.9 percent are obese.
Being overweight is defined as having a body mass index of 25-29.9 kg/m2, while obesity means a BMI of 30 or above.
BMI is calculated by taking a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of the person's height in meters.
