The Fat Virus

[RhinoParticipant 3477]

I was going to post this in the thread:

Why Women are Getting Fatter

I decided to make a separate thread because this effects both men and women and would like your guys take on this.

After watching the video I have a few problems with the outcome of some of the research that was done.

First they claim that about 30% of the United States obese population has been infected with the virus at one point in their lives. They still have to account for the other 70% who are still fat and were not infected.

There is 5 to 10% of the skinny population that has the virus and yet remain thin. The study indicated that once you get the virus there is a rapid increase in weight gain. The scientists used identical twins as a baseline measure to chart the difference when one was infected versus one that was not to see the increase in weight. Ethically they cannot infect someone without the virus to prove this theory so this is the second best method to observe someone who is not infected versus someone who is. So what happens to the 5 to 10% who are infected that never get fat? Does the immune system fight off the virus before it has time to change the fat cells or does it never make people fat to begin with.

The 70% of people who are not infected are still fat without the virus and there are many theories as to why this is the case. Environment, genetics, diet, sedentary lifestyle, mental disorders, other physical medical conditions such as removal of Thyroid, and gluttony to name a few. Even if these people were infected with the virus the body fights off the infection and you are still left being fat. There is no cure nor will there ever be one because the virus already does the damage and leaves those infected obese. You can’t cure a virus that is already gone from the body unless scientists use gene manipulation to reverse the effects.

So people still need to eat right and work out to cure themselves without the aid of science to cure this virus. Obese people have to take control of their life and fix the problem themselves. People want to take the easy road and of course the epidemic will continue because they are waiting for science to fix the problem they themselves help contribute by their own habits.

Let me know what you guys think is this just another excuse or are these scientists on to something.

I don’t see this virus affecting people in impoverished areas such as, South Sudan. These folks don’t don’t have access to Twinkies and Big Macs on a daily basis.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

I’m thinking if catching the “OBESITY” Virus was as easy catching a common cold then wouldn’t the ENTIRE population have been exposed to it multiple times ??

I get the idea that not everyone will become obese that catches the virus, but wouldn’t one see MANY more obese people considering that EVERYONE would be exposed to the virus multiple times ??

Does the Fat Virus make you crave large amounts of CRAPPY food while the virus is active as well as long after the virus is gone from the body ??

Why do MANY Obese people continue to gain weight year after year ?? Can this be attributed to a Virus that is NO longer in the body, or maybe CONTINUED poor food choices ??

I’m betting Sodom and Gomorrah had allot of fat people, it seems to follow a decedent arrogant society.

I’m betting Lott stayed in sin city for the comforts of luxury and decadence.

I chose another route, away from the cities, away from all the grotesque madness and monster like figures.

I’ll blow my f~~~ing head off before I use a Wal-Mart Whale-chair! I carry, lug, dig, chop, and push myself hard!

Using machinery is sometimes more exhausting than doing it by hand, the only differance is the machinery does the work of ten men for only one man toiling just as hard controlling the machine.

Good joystick game fingers lead to a plump round body, I’ve never seen so many CHILDREN with more fat than most people by the 1970s’ took a lifetime to accumulate. Only older people carried that kind of fat when I was a kid.

It’s signs and outcomes that show a society in degradation and decline.

I think societies are like pigs and locus, a pig left in the wild without rule and order change metabolically into wild boars, they grow tusks and become dangerous killers, same with the locus, in small numbers they’re harmless grasshoppers, in great numbers they metamorphose into a different creature and also become aggressive killers.

Stop injecting corn syrup in all the food and most of the drinks, and the American population will lose twenty percent of their body weight in fat across the board.
