This is very true.
But at that bf% you probably won't be in the strength game long.
Oh, but you're wrong! Look at our very own Miniforklift, and all of the other PLers that compete in lower weight classes. It's all relative, really. Do you want to be fat and strong, or do you want to be strong lb/lb and look good? There are guys in my gym who weigh 165lbs at 10% benching 320 for doubles. Pretty damn sure they are natural too, or damn close to it (probably don't run anything more than a little test)
You make a lot of good points but I still don't think the education excuse is valid. Fat people know they are fat. It doesn't happen overnight. They don't wake up one morning look in the mirror and say "wow I'm fat." At some point the person has to say "there is a reason I am fat" and take responsibility and seek that information. Yes, there are diet pitfalls like a McDonalds chicken sandwich or a Vitamin Water loaded with sugar but......
How long would it take you to sit down with someone and cover the bases? Tell them to read labels... to avoid sugars... trans fats.. never eat at a fast food restaurant. Really think about this. Yes, they would stumble and make mistakes. There would be habits to break. But I could sit down with someone for one hour... just one hour and I could walk away feeling like they had all the information they needed to make a drastic change. Not perfection, but a huge change.
So, can we really say that the years and years of bad habits can be blamed on "lack of education?" No. I beg to differ. It's lack of motivation.
It becomes a mental issue when they start eating out of the garbage it like. But that does not change my view on them being lazy they are still that. I don't understand what you don't understand? To different topics I thought I was posting on. And I am sticking to what I said in all the threads so be confused. GM stop trolling me please and thank you
I agree my brutha not always an excuse but there's a lot of them out there plus there's people that go through things like depression to though I mean all the hormones that are in food have different reactions to people. Think about it say Mary's mothers house caught on fire well of course she's going to be upset well who's there to hold her hand? One of the fast food joints will gladly embrace her with open arms so now she's emotionally eating that shit and you bet it's going to make her feel better lol. I have personally seen quite a few of my closest friends and family develop eating dissorders based on pure emotion and when your in that state of mind food is your drug. Then once most get so fat they enter a self absorbed guilt trip about it and eating salty shitty food is used to fill a void of who they once were. I saw my aunt go through this she used to wear a 00 she was a small little chick now she wears a 16 or somthing.
