[licks cheetos grease off fingers] What's wrong with being fat?

[Vandal]

I was still of the belief that we should coddle our brothers rather than lovingly show them the absolute truth regardless of how it makes them feel temporarily, with the knowledge that they'll be better off for it in the long-run, at the time.

Husbands, go ahead, tell your wives to lose some weight. You might beg for heavenly wrath rather than hers.....

Depends on whether the husband is a man or not

Having said all this... No-one is trying to enforce the image portrayed on Jew media. Some body fat is required and healthy. I mean, if you have some extra fat it helps you to weather illness better where you don't eat as much and your body is possibly burning more energy because of a fever. Even animals purposefully fatten themselves up for the winter and it's interesting that humans have the same potential. So I suppose if we were in the same kind of situation we could use being fat to our advantage, but the reality is that we have access to food all year round and have no excuse to eat much more than we need. This is of course apart from the fact that it is mostly an unhealthy diet which causes one to be overweight...

A couple of gems from Solomon...

"The good eats to feed his life, but the belly of the bad for greed." Proverbs 13:25

"Happy land, when... your nobles seek health from food not excess!" Ecclesiastes 10:17

I work out so I can be attractive. Hopefully later in life I won't morph into a landwhale.

In the Bible obesity was seen as greed. I forget the exact passage, but the description that a fat man was greedy was used of a certain king of Moab.
