It's objectively unhealthy. Stop trying to convince others your laziness isn't something to look down on and ride a bike

While exercise is definitely a good thing, diet is the main factor for keeping a healthy weight. Kurzgesagt on youtube did a good video about it recently.

There are many lean people that eat absolute crap, and are as unhealthy or more. I don't think we make fun of bad eating habits; we make fun of fat people because they don't fit into certain beauty standards.

Also, being "fat" doesn't mean you're not healthy. Being a bit chubby or overweight is perfectly normal, obesity is a problem.

And I think calling people "lazy" for being fat says more about you than anything. Exercise isn't the most important factor on weight, eating habits are. Specifically, calorie intake.

An excess in fat is a comorbidity for pretty much everything, an active fat person has a higher probability of death from any health issue than an inactive thin person.

And that excuses making shitty jokes at our expense?

No, I'm just correcting what they were saying

Source? I believe you're speaking of obese people.

Both being overweight or obese has consequences.

So there's a lot of stupid fucks on this community, huh.

Educate yourself and go to school before saying crap.
