Fatties, especially American fatties, are ruining Mother Gaia!
A recent study conducted by scientists in London found that the obese persons of the world are playing an increasingly large role in the rate at which the planet’s finite resources are used.
“Increasing population fatness could have the same implications for world food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth,” the study concluded. […]
Research was conducted based on the theory that the body mass of a population should be factored into the amount of energy it burns, in addition to the number of people residing in a certain region.
Though obesity touches all corners of the Earth, it was found that Americans were especially weighing down the planet. […]
“Although the concept of biomass is rarely applied to the human species, the ecological implications of increasing body mass are significant and ought to be taken into account when evaluating future trends and planning for future resource challenges,” the study found. “Tackling population fatness may be critical to world food security and ecological sustainability.”
Who do you think you are that you should be allowed to decide what you eat?

Which means longer days.
Oh shit. Shorter lives!
On this news, I think it’ll be a Haminator for lunch. Fuck you, greenies.
I think that the subsidized “green energy” programs such as ethanol (corn) and biodiesel (soybeans) have a much bigger impact on world food production than the fact that Americans are a bunch of fatties, since we are a net exporter of food. Should I also mention the bullshit avoidance of GM foods (which have much higher yields per acre), and the desire to control what farmers produce in general? Should I further mention that all these things are directly attributable to the policies advocated by the kinds of people who write idiotic articles like the one referred to in this post?
I think I should.
Racist screed, CBS.
Somehow, somewhere I sense a Hank Johnson argument that this is a tipping point on our ability to save Gaia.
I’s’weird the study doesn’t suggest the obvious lemonade from lemons: Fat is a stored energy source — liposuck the fat — eat the fat as a food source. Voila, problem solved.
Bonus points for finding a way to link obesity, anti-Americanism AND global warming (oops, “climate change”). Maybe they can find a way to link this to social injustice and/or racism to truly fulfill Blair’s Law.
[hi Libby … I cleaned up your link tag]
So it’s this, and not global warming, that’s causing the oceans to rise!!!!!
!!!!!
At least the fatties will float when the oceans get to them.
On behalf of Norman Borlaug, you are cordially invited to go fuck yourselves.
Hey fellas, this is the funniest thing I’ve tasted since dog kebab.

I don’t know which stinks more. The desperation or the arrogance.
“…and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl”
– The hive won’t be do’in the gravy bowl much longer.
I frequent a board devoted to food and cooking and the cacophony about sustainable this, GMO BAD!, cruelty-free, organic, locally sourced, etc from the city dwellers is migraine inducing. I don’t understand how chowing down on over-priced pork belly in a chi chi restaurant is any more “moral” than eating a big greasy bacon sammich.
Athletes and other really active people probably eat more than fat people. Why no criticism of them?
Athletes are selfish, vain creatures too. Always training and making everyone kow-tow to their dietary needs.
I generally eat fat people with a nice salad, maybe some fava beans…
Fat people have a tendency to flare up on the spit barbeque. If you don’t mind blackened fat person, it’s best to keep a squirt bottle handy.
Wait…blackened? I denounce myself.
Any person who would solicit as a gift a donation to O! in the invite to their wedding deserves empty pews.
Good lord, the cult of personality is amazing!
I won’t eat their faces though. They look so sad.
We’re just taking up the slack of those that are starving in East Africa. (Hey that food isn’t going to eat itself.)
Soon Gaia will become imbalanced and fly into the moon reverting us all back into the neolithic where the greenies want us to be anyway.
So what’s the problem?
That fat cannibalism thing is the primary why I burn down skinny people’s houses and pick them off as they run for safety. The herd is not without its defenders. But you are right about the flare up in the flames thing. Especially with kids. Luckily we’ve managed to thin out the cannibal population out a lot since the bad old Chainsaw Massacre days.
Geez, this is too much, I gotta share!
I came across this track today, Harvey Matusow’s Jews Harp Band, War Between Fats And Thins (1969).
First read this, it’s fascinating. I never even heard of the guy before. I think he was blacklisted…
Sorry about the sound quality, I know it’s echoey, but it’s the best I could find. I just listened to it on vinyl, my son got it from a guy he did a job for, and gave it to me.
Kids will fit on the rotisserie, though, pala. You just put the lid down to squelch the flames.

Heh.
Excuse me, Gaia worshipers. But fuck you and the adipose equus on which you perambulated in.
As I read somewhere else, here’s a little tip: If fat people start causing food shortages, the obesity problem will then work itself out just fine.
And lets start worrying about the world food stocks when we aren’t all fat AND throwing out 50 billion tons of food per year.
