But I'm sure your friends insanely busy life doesn't have any downtime that could be spent on physical activity. Heaven forbid she/he goes out and plays with her kids? Maybe a little tag, kickball, bike rides? I'm sure her kids would actually enjoy having a parent that doesn't sit on the porch keeping an eye on them the whole time they play outside. Wake up an hour early for a morning jog? Out of the question I'm sure that would involve going to sleep a little earlier, and if they did that how would the spend all night in front of the TV?
arglax, if you are taking in more calories than you burn, you will become fat. if you eat too much, you will become fat.
Read please. That was obviously a response to Thellian's post. Lets keep up on a the discussion there is more than just me and you, apologizes for not quoting him too. I thought peoples comprehension skills were higher.
Ok well we will start with 99 "dollarcent" hamburgers. If that is all you're allowing for your budget to eat, and you're not homeless, you're an idiot. Put that on top of the pile of poor lifestyle choices made by fat people. Also if you only have 1 a meal for all 3 meals of the day(Don't start a new argument about 5 meals a day and all that bullshit). Chances are with that 1300~(Based on .99 mcdoubles with cheese) calories you ate you're probably not gaining weight anytime soon. Oh but of course that's not filling, so lets say you eat 2 for breakfast, 3 for lunch, 2 for dinner, we are up to roughly $7, we wont even factor in the fact you haven't bought a drink, ever. So you're up too 3000~ calories, its bad, but not insanely bad for eating nothing but .99 fast food. You also spent about $50. Should I open up a page on walmart and see what you can get for one person on $50 dollars week?

That is a good read.
Food determines how big you are. If you consume more calories than you expend, you will get bigger. If you consume fewer calories than you expend, you will get smaller.
Right because, oatmeal, super expensive, costs $300 to make. Iceburg lettuce, sorry people can't afford to run water over it before they put it in a bowl, I guess just risk not rinsing it I guess. I guess not having a fridge is a valid argument. But if you do have a fridge I don't know a lot of people who shut it off when they don't have food in there. Oh the time it takes to prepare food could be spent watching MLP right? If you are so poor that you can't afford the electricity/gas to cook food you have bigger problems then just being a lard ass.
Crash diets, because that was ever brought up. A decent diet isn't as expensive as you think. But if you're meal budget only accounts for fast food, and you keep it under $50 a week then you're in more trouble then just being fat. Already said it.
Oh yeah because increasing your metabolism is bad. Right? Because as we all know its just going to spike while you're still a hambeast and it will be super unhealthy, its not going to gradually increase while you shed your KFC weight.
