I hope you keep posting here, Bradley, so others can see how
stupid the typical fat-hater's arguments are. To point one idiocy in
it, fat people rarely consume that much. All you have to do is watch
some eating contest on tv, and you'll see people of many weights,
including thin. Idiocy number 2: obesity doesn't lay people flat on
their backs unless it is extreme. And you still have a good chance of
living longer than the extremely thin.
If fat people are "land whales", does that make thin people
"land eels" or "land gars"? Not that I like any of these terms, but
you might as well be consistent.
Oh yeah, to cement your image as a dumbass troll, your next
step is to insult me, then insult LV (not that she has anything to do
with this, but all the trolls do it), and then claim that you're the
real victim of other people's conspiracy to become fat.

Monday morning Shawnee County Commissioners approved a rate increase for
AMR.
AMR (American Medical Response) is the third party ambulance provider
that services Shawnee, Wabaunsee, and Osage Counties.
And starting July 1st, residents of those counties will pay more for
ambulance service if they are severely obese.
Severely overweight patients, known as "bariatric" patients are those
who weigh more than 350 pounds.
Their rates for a ride to the hospital will go up from the current base
rate of $629 to $1,172.
The per mile rate is going up as well, from $11.09 per mile to $16 per mile
Operations Manager Ken Keller says the increased rates will help pay for
additional equipment- and manpower.
"We see patients often who are 3-350 pounds, often up to 7 or 8 hundred
pounds. 8.46.41 And these are patients that need resources that are
stronger, to support them, wide to support them, but also allow us to
move them in a safer manner," Keller explained.

Most of them can't figure out what "fat acceptance" means
either.

It happens because the body defends a certain weight range,
which can differ from person to person. When you get below your
natural range, you become hungry, irritable, sluggish. You fixate on
food. Your body becomes more efficient at using the food it does get,
and you are able to gain weight on a smaller number of calories. This
is what happens when dieters hit a plateau. Your natural weight range
is adjusted upwards. Eventually, your body will force you to eat in
any way it can, and you'll gain back the weight plus a few extra
pounds in case famine hits again.

I haven't been to such events in a long while, but I've
noticed people of many sizes loading their plates more than once.
However, the thinner ones don't garner all the public disapproval.

Oh, I'm sure they remember the fat ones for a longer time.

Nope. I'm referring to people who have a BMI of less than
18.5.
Not withstanding that this extremely thin

If you are wasting away, wouldn't you rather start off fat?

You mean like calling fat people "land whales"? Also noticed.

Because fat people are frequently treated as second-class
citizens, you aren't getting all that you pay for.
