If you develop poor eating habits from your parents as a child they will only extend into adulthood. Some people are better than others in breaking the cycle but it isn't easy. It's like breaking any long standing habit.
I started cooking my own meals with my own money at 15 cause my parents ate s**t all the time, but i was fairly conscious of it early.

There is a huge double standard there though, shaming "skinnies" and mocking people who are at the gym a lot is standard practice, make fun of a fat person for being a fat person and you are a scumbag.

TBH i dont really care if fat people wanna smash donuts and embrace an unhealthy lifestyle, go for your life, i get worried when we embrace them, this whole "love your body" idea is fantastic and people with body image issues need to learn to feel comfortable in their own skin but frankly if your 50kg's overweight with the ongoing health issues that generally causes you shouldn't feel good about yourself and you definitely shouldn't be a role model to anyone.

similarly, in a round about way, fat people who get sponsored by jenny craig. then lose a bit of weight, then go back onto another monetary deal

If you can't control what's going into your body at that age you're a ******* twat.
It's harder than you think and it's not JUST a matter of willpower.

Actually i am going to have to agree with freshbanana here. If you follow the recommended diet (eat low fat and lots of wholegrains) there is a chance that the perpetual carb abuse will play havoc with your hormones and you will become insulin resistant, and fat.

When your hormones are out of wack its very difficult to control your eating habits. It's all very well to say its matter of willpower but it's not.

Unfortunately obese people are given wrong information about weight control by the various foundations and medical doctors. People like me, who are in the minority, understand that in order to control your weight you need to control your insulin. Sadly, fat / obese people are not in the 'know' and they are given misinformation then blamed when the recommendations they follow don't work - it's not their fault.

Nah I think it's mostly about willpower. Some people obviously have more of a predisposition to put on weight but you don't get fat without overeating/eating poorly

It is all about willpower or choice...anything else is bullshit.

How do I know...I have lost 15kgs in 6 months through choice.

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/train-vandals-sent-packing-by-passengers-20140414-36m5r.html

why do these vandals feel the need to

1) vandalise property
2) cover their faces (ok obviously to conceal identity)

if a passenger did something that was akin to assault, the vandal would be crying poor. or if confronted theyd run.

obviously dont understand the costs of removing their filth. they're obviously not people with mortgages or debts or probably even families to care for.

They're most likely teens/youths that think it's cool and fun thing to do. Don't think about the consequences of their actions and don't realise what it hurts.

Our tax dollars and society take a hit.

love to see the tables turned. members of the community visit these kids homes and vandalise their room and property (obviously not theirs, but their parents or probably public housing).

People pouring stuff on them, would have been awesome if someone had the thought to give them the good old cup of urine.
