Also some people are born with more fat cells. They don't go away even when you diet. I believe Oprah has more fat cells than the average person because it is a battle for her constantly. As she ages it will be harder to burn it off and it will be harder to work out when your body gets older. Some of us have it easy and it will never be an issue. That is why some don't have any clue to understanding why some people are fat. Some are born predestines to being heavier. As I see it, one cannot turn a Golden retreiver into a poodle nor would I want to.

No, but I can make my fat Golden a skinny one pretty quickly if I wanted to. Diet and activity is all it takes. I'd say the amount of people who honestly try and are disciplined but can't lose weight are about the same percentage as the one's with thyroid disorders.
In 2001, adult diabetics were more than three times as likely to be extremely obese than nondiabetic adults and over one and one-half times as likely to be obese.
Between 5 and 30 percent of women have some characteristic of PCOS. The disorder is probably the most common hormonal abnormality in women of reproductive age and certainly is a leading cause of infertility. PCOS patients were once dismissed as"fat" women with no self control.
...
Certainly, many metabolic derangements improve with weight loss, but PCOS is not "cured" by weight reduction. Almost always, individuals with PCOS gain weight very easily and lose it only with great effort.
Just these two cover a significant percentage of the population; much more than 1.5%. Blaming a person for struggling with a metabolic disorder-facilitated weight problem is like blaming a one-legged rock climber for being unable to climb Everest. Some will be able to do it, but the vast majority will struggle, and cycle.

The reason I don't believe the "born with more fat cells" argument is that obesity is MUCH more common than it used to be, So either a higher % are born with more fat cells than in the past OR there are different reasons to explain this such as less physical activity,larger portion sizes, etc.
When did it become the "in" thing to HATE period? This is disgusting!!!!
I can't believe this thread is still alive. I am not fat nor am I skinny. But the HATE on this thread keeps me coming back. Do you people not see how WRONG it is to single out groups to HATE???
This is the plan...divide and conquer. And sadly it's working well.
Just because the OP believes more people hate the obese doesn't mean more hate actually exists. I doubt that it does myself. Did you ever think those concerned about the health risks of obesity may LOVE them and want the best for them. Even those who are purely superficial and think obesity looks unattractive may not have hatred in their heart but merely a preference.
Fat people are disgusting to look at. Have you ever been at a restaurant... or at a buffet in Las Vegas and seen them shovel food down their gullet.. they are disgusting, they should be banned from public places so as to not offend those with superior genes. like me

Nowhere in the diabetes article does it state that DIABETES CAUSES OBESITY. Is diabetes a result of obeseity? Yuppers. Thats like saying bad knees cause obesity, but how did those knees get bad in the first place? Most likely from having to carry around weight that they were never designed to handle. I'm pretty sure (and have seen it with my own eyes) that if the obese were to bring their weight a little closer to the accepted BMI level these diabetic numbers would drop significantly. I don't think you can argue that.
